As someone who only got the Mage Tower Artifact Appearance for a Destruction Lock, I say, thank you.

you wont earn any new apperances only druids will

Without you actually providing a link to the law in question and instead just keep waving around the word “a law”, I’m having a hard time even following your argument outside of trying to use the scary presence of the word “law” as a way to silence the discussion and derail the thread.

Are we talking about two separate laws or one? I can’t tell, since the only time that law has been cited by Blizzard as a reason why they can’t return an item is due to an event that happened in 2014. That’s 2 years before the law you’re citing that apparently allows the Core Hound (also 2014, contradicting the bikes) but conveniently prohibits Mage Tower rewards and PvP Elite sets (2017, which were discussed and shot down, cited reason being player feedback).

Your question also literally didnt make any sense either. The point is if the law came AFTER the original deal – then you cannot retroactively enforce that new law on the old deal.

However, it seems Blizzard did something similar with the 2020 anniversary mount so I am counting my point as disproven.

I had thought this would be like a forever event that we can work at over time, not a 2 week thing and then once every 4 months. This creates yet another HURRY UP AND GO task that will rival our normal chores we do every day/week. Seems like not a lot of thought was put into the time aspect of this.

[Rhay-queldorei (Rhay)]

I can’t argue your point, what you’re saying makes sense - and I tend to agree with you on it. I think they should have recoloured all of the appearances honestly or just kept it to the T20. I think the recolouring of all would have led to less … of all this however.

[Tokage-wyrmrest-accord]

The warlock armor recolor is awesome. Really don’t think you are getting left in the dirt. Also the warlock challenging appearances were mediocre.

[Lilfry-lightnings-blade]

This is the most true statement on any topic in the WoW forums history.

[Dartakan-ragnaros (Dartakan)]

Nah, they were a challenge for most of tomb of sargeras. I got the tanking one on week 1, then did the others later and they were still a challenge.

The nether crucible and Antorus gear was what made them faceroll.

[Xatherald-area-52]

You are not looking at things objectively in the slightest. There is no value to your account you don’t even own the rights to it blizzard does. A high end lambo is a valuable car because an insane amount of engineering has gone into it along with the best parts. They wouldn’t be available at the same price as a civic because it would be a massive loss for the company.

There is zero value to your account you just seem to be one of the sad individuals who only derives pleasure from having something others don’t.

@Ishikara-proudmoore

Laws, funnily enough, often aren’t enforced. Look at Tax laws for example. I promise you no-one is going to attempt to sue Blizzard over something so asinine.

The tax laws are enforced, there is just numerous amounts of loopholes in them and comporations hire accounting teams/lawyers to work around them.

Also, with the amount of blood in the water for Acti-Blizz; i wouldnt be surprised if they did.

@Baalsamael-turalyon

The old appearances should be accessible and made into evergreen challenges with new xpac-themed affixes added for every expansion tied to a new artifact appearance

similarly to the Guardian Druid one, the correct middle ground solution is to release a NEW recolor.
just like Raid recolors are the reward mog rather than new items.

[Saithis-shandris (Saithis)]

i disagree. you begging for those specific rewards from previous expansions because you weren’t able to get it done when they were relevant - reflects how valuable they are

yes rare items in MMO’s are considered to be valuable, you just want us to apply your definition which i’m sorry to say, i don’t think anyone else shares.

also lol to thinking lambo’s value is up because of the “engineering” lol, it’s a rare italian sports car dude…that’s why i included “limited” because i was specifically referring to those models they only make a certain amount of annually

cars chosen for their engineering are way more expensive than lambos…but that’s a different discussion i guess (and you’d probably want to go German in that case)

[Hendry-tichondrius]

pretty disappointed that they didnt pull the ripcord for mage tower appearances

[Brewshi-emerald-dream]

@Kaivax

We’ve designed it with the goal of making sure that the original bear forms earned in Legion, with their unblemished natural coloration, will remain clearly distinguishable from this new one.

With this logic you should have let the whole community have the updated scarab lord mount when you updated it since it’s “Distinguishable” from the original.

[Kitsunari-daggerspine]

Making appearance “Prestige” is the dumbest thing any game can do. Especially when so many people play for cosmetic reasons. Hence why you pushed to get 26-28 of them. But why would you be so oddly selfish about having an appearance and being so against other players being able to enjoy it as well? It’s great you got it, but oddly self-centered being against others doing so.

That’s what I am thinking. No need to chum the water… they are already getting (too) many bites.

[Saradots-sargeras]

@Hendry-tichondrius

That is why I am saying thank you. Because I think those appearances should be kept exclusive for those who did it back in Legion.

[Xatherald-area-52]

The mage tower was unlocked end of march tomb wasn’t available until june 20th. So not middle of nighthold but yes end of nighthold people were clearing it before tomb gear. It was tuned for tomb gear and thus became a joke in throne gear.

[Ishikara-proudmoore]

If Tax laws were truly enforced you wouldn’t have giant corporations paying $0 in Tax. Amazon springs to mind.

[Orcus-wildhammer]

Reasonable compromise. I look forward to collecting those sets.

[Aresia-altar-of-storms]

@Birds-stormrage

I cannot believe you listen to the forums about something as petty as bragging rights, yet you ignored feedback about core game issues for years. What a joke. Just bring back the weapon appearances.

This right here sums up what most of the pro bring back mage tower people REALLY wanted. It was never about the tower itself (though they always tried to say otherwise).
