Good to see that the forms have finally been removed it was crazy to see people using them without having earned them. If you want them then you should have done them in legion, simple as that.
The whole idea of 10 year old prestige items is dumb. Let everyone have them, or at least a chance to earn them. I have the MoP CM set I wanted and I use it on every DK I make. I use the CM set because I like the color scheme and the less bulky design compared to modern plate gear. I don’t care about the prestige. As far as I’m concerned there isn’t any. No one even comments on it at all. No one sees me as some amazing player because I achieved something a dozen years ago. I wasn’t that amazing. If there was any prestige, and in my experience there was none, it’s long gone.
Prestige is no excuse for limiting transmogs, especially ones from so many years ago. That’s especially true for something as limited as Druid forms since there are so few of them.
In this game without a dye system, the color is what I look for first, then I choose which item of that color I like the most. The color of the sparkle kitty is the most important thing for me. I wouldn’t mind a version with the same color and appearance with fewer, if any, sparkles. The last thing I want is a recolor, especially when my second favorite color, green, is also used for one of the alternate colors for the same line of Druid forms that Blizz just removed. There’s no other color I want.
It’s funny how flight form is still bugged and much slower than a mount, but removing druid forms that made many players happy was a higher priority. This could’ve hardly been handled worse for druid players.
If the completion stats hold to trend, even in that scenario, only 2-3 people of every 10 will actually even complete the tower for their chosen spec (aggregate, some classes may be higher or lower).
Put another way, it’s very unlikely that everyone arguing for their return will even be able to earn them.
You know Ill admit I took google at its word, I assumed it could still do something simple things* like give me the definitions of words, instead of actually going to a dictionary on this one.
As is holding something above others heads. I’m not the one calling people childish and petulant, because they are discussing their opinions.
It rises to level of disrespect in the sense that they will not right something they have wronged me on, saying there is no actual malice when they will not correct the issue (Because they can indeed change their policies.)
You tell me? since you said you can check it. the armory says I have it so… I honestly do not know anymore.
Server transfers and faction changes both do reset quest progression in some places.
It is disrespect, and you are entertaining it by continuing to respond to it (Yes this comment is childish.)
Liking wow =/= agreeing to bring back mage tower appearances was pretty clear and wasn’t entirely relevant to me saying that if we all agreed on something (Fat chance on that happening) other than the fact we like wow to some level that blizzard would have to listen to us.
What are you not understanding about that?
You would like to think that, and despite your claim they have changed stances with enough player voices, so yep gonna keep doing my thing! respectfully keep doing yours!
So they just nerfed the Elite farm infinite power people as well and basically seem completely oblivious that these are all Blizzard mistakes that negatively affected their players… significantly in the context of Lemix.
I get removing the MT Druid Forms although I think burying them forever is a mistake. I also get nerfing the infinite power gains from Elites even though that once again isn’t a player issue…they launched Lemix that way and they said it wasn’t an exploit.
So drop a compromise for the Lemix players… Unless your business model is to make mistakes and then dump on your players with ill regard to correct it…in which case you nailed it!
Nothing is being held over your head. I haven’t done anything remotely close to sneering ‘neener neener’ or lording what I have over you. Neither has Blizzard. You’re radically mischaracterizing the simple act of removing access to something; it’s an apathetic action by the devs. Telling people to accept that something, a bug in this case, is being fixed and to move on, also isn’t holding anything over you.
There’s a fine line between discussing an opinion and throwing a fit. It’s disingenuous the latter hasn’t littered this thread.
The scenario you’ve described is both outlandish and unique, and thus not believable. I’ll do you a solid and still take you at you word that it happened: a bug occurring is not malicious or disrespectful. Not being able to fix a bug (and as you said, there’s no way for them to verify you had the achievement even) is not disrespectful.
Not changing a policy that appeals to your personal sensibilities isn’t malicious action.
Bro there’s no way you’re this silly on accident. How am I going to know what achievements were taken from you without knowing what was allegedly there in the first place? Are you or are you not claiming it was the only achievement that was removed?
Quest progression =/= completed achievements. You know better than to insinuate this.
You’re right, and I’m going to ignore everything you refer to a disrespect because:
A. It’s a waste of my time at this point
B. We both no better despite your attempts to pretend not to.
The principle you’re leaning on doesn’t have practical impact on the topic of this thread, as there is no unanimous consensus regarding MT appearances.
What are you not understanding about that?
This argument is tired. “They’ve changed their stance on X, Y, Z unrelated thing, so they might change their stance on this thing they haven’t budged on for nearly a decade” is wishful thinking at best. It doesn’t hold up to scrutiny at worst. You’re looking at apples and comparing them to oranges in a misguided attempt to assert validity where there is none. In essence, you’re spinning your wheels.
