The anniversary event requires way too much grinding EDIT: New changes make the event much better!

even though this is all going to return next year, doesnt change the fact that the amount of work to acquire one set is just too much.

it’s just entirely disrespectful of the players’ time, which feels especially bad given that this is an event to celebrate players spending 20 years in the game.

hahaha omg its not given to me so i dont want it.

lolz just lolz

This is TWW design in a nutshell. Promoted as a fun, casual experience that respects the player’s time, but the design says the opposite.

That’s far from being a grind.

Oh look in this case I think the timewalking badges prices are fine.

See what I did there? and yes I can buy everything from the event with my TW badges.

I hear you.

I don’t actually think it’ll all return next year, I think some will, but it’ll be spread across several anniversary events.

Yeah the respecting player time thing has been popping up in Blizz questionnaires, so they are aware, makes me scratch my head sometimes though, as they seem able to ignore it when needed.

I started with 3k. I spent half buying titles. Will I get any weapon? Probably not.

Truth be told, you made me confused.
I am just crying a bit because I only had 3k badges when the event began and I am pretty sure I won’t have patience to farm those things.

its beyond me how people are playing this crap

I played mop remix when it came out and it was horrible, weeks later they fixed it to make playable, i felt like a clown, never again

How is it work if it’s only a few things to do every week?

But how?

I don’t have to grind, because I can’t grind. I do a few things every week. Meaning plenty of time for life and other things in game.

That’s the opposite of what you’re saying.

Yeah well too bad. The obvious sign here is you don’t get to decide what is a grind and what isnt. :roll_eyes:

Minimizing others concerns and dislikes while making others think that they should adapt your point of view is never going to work as a counter argument.

I am over here looking at that one baby doomguard for 10 bronze thinking, “This is all I really need”.

Having to spend three weeks to get your first piece, with an event lasting 10 weeks is pretty dang grindy.

Yeah. I think some people have different definitions of what a grind is. To me, that is a grind, but I also associate weekly lockouts with mount farming in old raids.

Why did you took what I meant as light-hearted banter as if I am minimizing people’s issues?

I get that text translation of intent is nearly impossible in the internet, but boy, that was a first assumption choosing violence right out of the bat.

Go play classic, or RuneScape, if you want that former definition.

There are two achievements that say this.

But the reason it takes three weeks is because it’s gated. Meaning very little to do every week.

The definition, no matter how you try to change it, has never meant “do a few quests and you’re finished for the week, because there’s nothing else to do.”

Agreed. I’ll get the 1 mount I don’t have and skip the sets. Only like 2-3 looked cool anyways but they’re for classes that I don’t play. I think it would be great if I could mog a rogue set on my monk, but the tooltip says that appearance can’t be collected by my class. (Which is dumb because in SL, they basically made it so any armor class cam mog sets).

It is a lot but as an unemployed pig I enjoy having something to grind. But your points are totally valid.

And since you don’t get any tokens for the events until AFTER you earn 100 tokens, the events aren’t even worth doing until a month from now. Except they force you to do some daily to get the XP buff for no apparent reason. It’s the most unfun / unfriendly anniversary event.
