Id say time is part of the challenge. every season is a timelimit that adds to the challenge
Yet again I disagree with you.
One look at the current Mage Tower confirms that this is possible.
Id put the mage tower thing under a bad decision by blizzard because they didnt actually change the challenge they just reused the old one
This is the content I actually want to see going forward. FOMO-items being available but still hard to get.
Regarding quest-based FOMO-items which only require the basic PVE interaction, they simply need to be made available on the cash shop. Thatās a fair compromise.
The simple answer is that it doesnāt affect you because itās about the challenge and not the vanity item you get. Otherwise if itās about the vanity item and not the challenge than itās more about your ego. 
Itās okay to want to be special because you are but Iām just looking for a good transmog to create for my characters because that is my end game, along with casual PVP and PVE. I just donāt feel like jumping through hoops anymore.
Iāll play the long game for an item, that is fine. I got no problem collecting large amounts of tokens or doing rep grinds for an awesome looking piece of armor that will go good with my transmog creation but like I said, I donāt want to stress out anymore or feel like I have to have a 2nd job in a guild.
The simple answer?
Because higher challenges beget ābetterā rewards.
It feels good to do something tough like a mage tower challenge and be rewarded with something āuniqueā. It feels good to ding that 2500 m+ rating.
The game has always been about the end game, maybe you missed the memo?
Iām far from a CE player these days, and I really couldnāt care less about the 1% and what they get. Why do you?
Thereās more to life, no need for the salt.
Having cool rewards for tough challenges, believe it or not, is a good thing.
This is the only part of your entire post Iād see eye to eye on. The open world could be infinitely better than what it is, I agree.
Ok. Like I thought, you are lying about the 6 years.
You know, you are right, it was seven years.
Why? Just make Chromie Time better and add the pre-Cata world back to the game. Problem solved for the missing quest mogs and on top of that, they can add back all of the removed cata mogs with it.
Mmmmmmm, When I got my Mage Tower Survival Hunters weapon in Legion. I felt that way for a few days but no one cared that I had it and I couldnāt find anything that went well with it for an Orc so it sits in my transmog inventory collecting dust.
If I could give that look away to someone who could use it I would because Iām not using it. 
To be fair, I got the BM weapon and never used it, but I also got the assassin rogue one and Iāve used that a lot. It was a pretty cool mog. While Iām aware thereās no accounting for taste, Iām not sure they put as much effort into the hunter looks.
Continue to be ignorant if you wish, Iāve given reason as to why it is as it is, and at the end of the day nothing is changing.
You are all the same at the end of the day, refuse to absorb information and repeat the same irrelevant garbage about it being all about āegoā despite it not being part of the conversation at hand.
ohā¦ rightā¦ i should probā¦ get on thatā¦
but thats not exactly top 1% unless you count all the people who didnāt play. otherwise it would be more like 50% of people who play got X reward
You have exactly that right now with covenants. Each covenant has its own unique mounts along with four different sets of armor that you can obtain specific to that covenant. The armor sets look far better than anything obtained in a raid IMO. Each covenant also has its own unique series of quests like the stitching with the necrolords, the wild seeds with the night fae or the tea parties with the Venthyr. Could there be more to do for casuals? Absolutely. But I challenge you to check out classic and then come back and tell me which version of the game is better for casuals.
AND why the majority of the end game content was raids or PVP. Once you leveled thru questing you stepped into the one of the two forms of progression for your endgame. You didnāt get to continue progression thru questing until the next expansion hit. Itās been like ever since the founding of the game. You like that armor set from Onyxxia? You had to gather a bunch of buddies and down onyxia. You didnāt get that armor from solo questing. Now we have M+ as a third form of progression. All those rewards are there for you to get. If you choose not to get them because you have a mindset of ārisks are bad mmmkayā¦ā then thatās your problem. Not the gameās.
No, I didnāt. I finished all the quests in every zone and then proceeded to do dailies and fish. That was it for me. I donāt raid or PvP and never have.
I got to continue until the content ran out, just like everyone else with their content. Raids are both finite and repetitive.
It has been just as I said since the founding of the game as well.
I did not, no.
I didnāt have to do anything, and verily, I did not.
Well, thatās fine because I didnāt want that armor.
Since when have you been able to solo M+? If they let me do legacy M+ two expansions down the line, sure; but short of that, youāre talking about group content, and I donāt join groups. Never have, never will.
The gameās problem is retaining customers, and my contention is that they will retain more customers if they cater to the risk-averse, people who donāt seek challenge, and casuals - because thatās who sticks around. Weāre the ones who have always been here, while you raiders join and quit based on how entertaining you find the game at the moment.

I wouldnāt have engaged with them if I were you. That priest talks a whole lot about getting old elite sets, and how 1800 isnāt hard, etc etc.
But if you do a shred of digging, youāll come to realize that they had to buy a boost for 1800 this season lmao

Here comes the not 1% to defend the 1% meanwhile the 1% probably would agree with the OP.
