So, your ego got bruised because you don’t feel special anymore? It’s a game. FOMO shouldn’t exist, all items should be available. You want to feel special with shiny pixels?

decade = 10 years…wake up …BC was in 07
It probably would have been better to do recolors. It might still cheapen peoples experiences, but you still have the unique variants.
I don’t personally care very much either way. I think the Prime stuff was a great idea, but I do respect peoples frustration over this issue.

Top Deck doesn’t re release the million dollar rookie cards. Want to know why? They wont be valuable anymore and no one will care. I’m sure I could buy a chinese rookie michael jordan for 10 dollars…but it isn’t the same…dillutes the value if they re release
Whoever bought the pack of cards with the Tabard of Frost card in it paid a different company (either Upper Deck or Cryptozoic who licensed the IP) more than $15 to pull that card unless they got extremely luck on one $2.95 pack of cards.

this is in reference to amazon primes 15 dollars a month
Right and someone paid a completely different company than Blizzard Entertainment for the tabard of frost card. Blizzard maybe got a portion of the sale depending on the licensing deal with Upper Deck or Crytozoic, but they also get money from Amazon when they do these agreements to put items on Prime. Point is, doesn’t matter if you got it from Amazon Prime for a $15 sub fee or if you paid Walmart $45 for a box of cards in 2008 that you gambled on pulling something cool.
right, and like all people who collect things, everyone understands that they become not collectible once the company starts diluting or ruining the prestige of such items. IE: WoW lost all integrity for future collectibles. Whether it is from stupid trading cards or in game rewards. Everyone knows they will succumb to Amazon and Twitch influence and be given to whomever pays them money
So, its more prestigious to pay $2.95 at your local Walmart and get extremely lucky because you bought a pack of cards that had a code for pixels than it is to get the same thing 16 years later because you have an amazon Prime membership? You ddn’t do anything other than plop down some cash to get the item. There was no work involved. No effort. Pure unadulterated luck that the pack you opened had that card in it. I mean if you find that prestigious than I’m gonna blow your mind with the prestige of the $6 Godzilla X Kong color change refillable soda cup I got a circle K tonight.
2.95 x 20 or in game currency farmed/traded for a code. and only X amount are made and 20 years later it is worth 700 IRL dollars because it doesn’t exist anymore . Versus everyone gets it because they have Amazon. The folks that farmed millions on BMAH didn’t put in effort? I didn’t put in effort getting my friend to give me a code after giving him gold and carrying him in BC? No work ? No effort? I didn’t buy the card…i got the code in game from a friend. Like a real MMO…i worked in game for the item that my friend bought IRL. I think most with a spectral tiger would disagree that it didn’t take effort.
Son, I have had the Rooster mount, X-51 Nether-Rocket X-TREME mount, and the Fel drake, had 2 Ethereal Portal toys before they were added to the toybox, and an Ethereal trader battlepet since 2010. The out of game money cost, or even in game gold cost, is irrelevant. It is the price of obtaining that special thing you want. Doesn’t make it prestigious to anyone but you. Someone else getting it doesn’t change that fact. It’s pixels. You aren’t special. So what you farmed an untold amount of gold 16 years ago to buy a tabard code from a 16 year old defunct trading card game. There in nothing prestigious in the least about that. Is it a fun rare thing to have. Sure! Is it prestigious? Not. In. The. Least. If you got the tabard for being in the top 0.00000001% of all WoW players in the universe, thats prestige. A code on a scratch card you trade gold to your friend for gold you got by playing the game you were gonna play anyway, not prestigious.
*Edit, oh my wife has had a Spectral Tiger and the Pink Love Rocket since 2011. Still not prestigious.
I don’t think you understand how collectables work, but that is ok. Try looking at other games like Counter Strike. Weapons for thousands of dollars …ect…ect. Rookie Michael Jordans…ect…ect. Yes, the person who has these items is special and i think that is awesome.
Hey OP, nobody’s taking YOUR toys.
They’re just getting their own.
This thread is definitely popcorn worthy.
No they’re not. They just had the money.
You’re entitled to THAT at least. Your opinion is noted.

Hey, I think the general consensus is people don’t understand the concept of collectables. It doesn’t matter how people got it. Ok, they paid money for it, but it was limited and doesn’t exist . This makes them cool. If you give them to everyone…it isn’t cool. The integrity of collectables doesn’t exist anymore with WoW. That is ok, you can go to other games like Counter Strike to see how skins work or regular hobby collections of rocks. Rocks are cool because I think some rocks are rarer than others. Not too sure, i don’t collect rocks, but you get the idea
There wasn’t even a card you needed to be lucky to pull, the tabards weren’t RNG. Every pack had UDE point cards in it and you redeemed the points for a few of the early rewards, including the tabards. For that reason the tabards were pretty cheap for years while Upper Deck was making the TCG. You could get basically any of them aside from frost (because it cost more points) for like $10. Frost wasn’t much more, either, and that was buying from like wowtcgloot or ebay.
