This is why i always do things early, not doing things early always ends up making me feel like i got screwed over for not taking advantage when i could have.

Proof that Blizzard’s lack of forethought and their “no fun” policy has created FOMO!

“Exploit early, exploit often!”
I’m still of the belief that Mage Tower should have used templates.

That always happens. Blizzard is good about finding the things people use and work around their balancing then nerfing them before the next time. I think Sanctum’s WFR had a strat used by Limit get completely hotfixed out of the fight because Blizzard didn’t like it because it made something more manageable.
I’m more surprised if there are people who genuinely didn’t see this coming. I heard people were using Crusader for the Mage Tower and level 50 alts for the scaling to make it the best chance they could get and immediately said “RIP those two things next time.”

It should have, even from the Legion iteration. It would have kept the challenge 100% intact without being easier or harder unless the class itself fundamentally changed, like lost or gained an ability. Disable all external powers. It is you in a standardized environment with no fancy toys, just raw skill.
Literally the only fair way to have done it that pleased everyone, except bads who relied on outgearing it in Legion to beat it I guess.

Then even fewer people would’ve completed it.

I got what I wanted so I’m all good here.
The Mage Tower shouldn’t have used templates; farming old gear and buying my gems and enchants from the Auction House was part of the fun. If Crusader gets nerfed into the ground then maybe people will use the super rare enchant Lifestealing, which is fine with me because I have characters that know how to make it

To be fair, aside from Mage Tower, it was making life absolutely miserable if you happened to face a fury warrior in low level PvP, as they became healing gods.

Most people in Legion cleared it. It wasn’t an exclusive thing, you kind of had to be trolling to not have it at the end if you wanted it and tried to get it.
The acquisition rate is so low because people didn’t care to resub and get it then just resubbed for expansion. Most people playing during Legion and trying to get them got theirs in the final two weeks because EVERY character had so much more gear and like 40 ranks of concordance more than what it was tuned around.
In Legion you could overgear it very easily.
This is, like, the opposite of what templating is.
Gonna be even lower when all the people who got banned log in to see their stuff wiped, haha.

Blizzard has been always very bad with Timewalking, reverting stats is not their strength.

Cuz a few people twink with an item means Blizz has to ruin it for everyone. FUN DETECTED. Better nerf it.

That’s not what FOMO is.
That would make the Mage Tower fairer, but it’d also make the Mage Tower harder.
Cheesy trinkets/enchants allow people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to beat the fights to have a chance.
Still suprised ravaged seed pod hasn’t been hit with the same treatment as the crusader enchant. For the few challenges I did (5), 4 of my chars used it. The only reason it wasn’t all of them is because I didnt need know about how good it was when I did my first challenge as havoc

People throw this around a lot. This isn’t nerfing fun, though. This is a statistic nerf on an enchant they felt was too strong–and in low level PvP it was dramatically so. It sounds like mage towers need adjusting more than the enchantment, but that’s a seperate issue.
“Nerfing fun” is when they take things that have no gameplay impact whatsoever and remove it because they feel it doesn’t align with what they want in their game.
Some examples of fun being nerfed is when you used to be able to kill polymorphed players and leave a sheep corpse, or when you used to be able to stack mount from druids on top of eachother, or how they literally made Party grenades do absolutely nothing anymore, and so on. These are things that did not impact the game in any way, but they looked odd so Blizzard decided to delete them…
I’m only correcting you because posts like this trivialize when Blizzard actually does “nerf fun”.
