How does the community feel about things being unattainable because it was part of a PVP season or Mythic + season (Besides titles). This also goes for mounts and things that are locked behind achievements that are no longer obtainable.
In my opinion, (which I understand means very little) nothing in the game should be locked away anymore. I think they can just as easily be unlocked in different ways that would still be fair. For example. Maybe i switched mains and would like a transmog from season what ever. Nope cant do it. Why? Let me win X amount of games at 1800 to unlock an old unobtainable piece of gear. Similar to what is done with PVP mounts. We have all of these honor levels in PVP with miles between any rewards. Maybe every 10 levels get a token for an old unobtainable piece if you have an 1800 achieve.
For things such as the Amoni Warbear you could simply make it just as hard as it use to be. LVL cap the gear and treat it like a mage tower.
My point is in most cases there are ways to adjust the game slightly to make it so things are still obtainable, perhaps slower, takes more time then the original, but that is fine.
We want new people to play the game, that is what keeps the game alive, but it is pretty demoralizing that there is so much cool stuff that you just cant get anymore. A lot of times the people that have it do not even use it because they have moved on to bigger and better things.
Remix prove that with few things I Sure some wher down line there be remix mode for what ever they feel and make it have us seek thoses lost items and mounts, Sadly can’t say the same for Kor’korn wolf… It sad me that most folk die on hill not have that mount out
But sitll If I See chance to get it… I make sure nothign stop me form getting it.
That is true, always more to collect, but not necessarily what you want. Why punish people for not even being born when something came out? Makes no sense.
To punish it would require a deprivation because of a wrongdoing.
You’re not being punished for not being born when something was available.
In life there are many things that you can’t buy anymore because they are not available. I think it is fine.
I personally would like to see new things added and things that would keep me interested for collecting.
Mounts, weapons, they all seem all the same right now. Feels like they don’t spend enough time designing things. Look back at weapon and armor designs back from Vanilla and TBC. They all use recolor for everything, different difficult? Just recolor it.
Isn’t such gear (or transmogs thereof) sold by vendors some years later? Just make a visit to Dalaran and there are some old PvP gear straight up to get the transmogs. Recent seasons PvP gear I can understand if they are unobtainable but otherwise, I see no reason why at least transmog versions shouldn’t be acquirable by anyone. A two- or three-years cooldown could be required before this happens, thou if the PvP crowd want to brag with their gear for a while.
Fixed a typo that inverted a meaning of a word. (should–>shouldn’t)
And laugh as I go you know…it’s not that special to some/many.
I don’t even know where some of this crap came from.
Do you know what this mount is?
Nope, not looking it up either. But I am sure I will be told now.
then they tell me its from vanilla troll runs. Its unique.
Okay in classic those were run like assembly lines for the bear really. vanilla was like that too I am sure. Its not a sign of skill in time. If doing that bear run 30 times…I’d hope one could git gud at it by run 10. After that 10th run…its brute forcing a slot machine. Pull that arm down enough times, you win.
I don’t mind things being made available again - as long as those things that came about through player participation in difficult content are made equally difficult to get.
For example, the early PvP mounts were (I presume) quite difficult to obtain at the time. It degrades the effort of players who worked hard to get them if they are cheaply obtained now. You end up with a situation where people begin to think, why should I bother trying to work hard on this thing, someday it will just be added to the Trading Post or given away in some event and I can just get it then. There is a certain space in the game to make things unique that are uniquely obtained. It’s not like we don’t get things like mounts tossed at us like confetti at a wedding nowadays.
WoW is WAY more fun once you realize you don’t need to be a completionist. Bring back some things, sure. However, I don’t believe you should get PvP rewards, etc., that were supposedly a one time deal.
The people playing the game? It is fine.
People on the forums who don’t play the game? “OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD! HOW DARE THEY?!”
Paraphrased but that’s the general tone.
The reason why is because a reward is a reward. They are intrinsically connected with the achievement to have done it at the time that season was active.
You don’t get a participation trophy that is on-par with the same reward as another season. At that point it is a full-blown replacement and rewards have thus been removed from the game.
And most folks would disagree with you. Not everything needs to be available at all times forever. Especially not when said things are intrinsically connected with achieving things at the time.
Overwhelmingly newer player report that they want new stuff, and that they care very little of old unobtainable stuff. Because new players play the game because they know what WoW is and want to experience it as it is today. Not 10+ years ago. If they did then they’d be playing Classic at which point none of what you are talking about makes any sense whatsoever.
