No, this would be incorrect.
Blizzard is currently weighing the two options right now:
- Releasing mage tower weapons increases new sub count from new players joining or old players re-subbing to get the mage tower appearances
- Current players just unsubbing because they know they can get whatever cosmetics whenever they want (playing on FOMO tendencies).
The main issue is that sub counts are falling hard and the reveal of midnight has had the absolute worst reception of any expansion in the history of wow.
True WoD and shadowlands did very poorly but they were very hype prior to release. Midnight isn’t even hype on release.
So when the current amount of subs reduces beyond a certain point, it becomes apparent that releasing the mage tower weapons earns them more money.
This isn’t true in the slightest: it is fiction created by trolls.
I literally dealt with ZERO mechanics on the havoc mage tower. Not even one.
Saying the mage tower required skill is like saying “it requires skill to do damage to a target dummy in dornagol.” lol
Even this poster stated they one shot the feral mage tower in 879 ilvl
The max item level with titanforging was 975.
People were 879 ilvl, which is ALMOST ONE HUNDRED below the max ilvl, and they were easily one-shotting the mage tower.
