Unlocking Unobtainable Appearances in Class for Retail?

[Tiea-detheroc]

Something being optional isn’t a proper defense of it being a bad idea.

I disagree. Atr least for this case. You don’t need these items and the graphics on them are dated and class with newer armors sets due to the low pixel/polycount.

The Classic community isn’t the only community that will play it. Plus I highly doubt the entirety of the classic community has an active subscription at the moment

[Mergons-terenas]

Yeah they deff are the same person… never reply at the same time, both talk about how the game wil fail without this idea…

True soldiers of justice!

Two people on the internet agree with each other and disagree with me? Must be the same poster!

Lol you’re being intentionally dense or willfully ignorant. We’ve both been typing at the same time. But hey man, believe what you want. Maybe you’ll get a blue post confirming it for you.

The Classic community isn’t the only community that will play it.

Blizzard isn’t interested in tourists. They don’t bring the money and they already have retail to keep then hooked.

The difference here is keeping your windows and doors permanently shut means death by suffocation.

My main counter is it’ll keep this game alive more so than not. Address that point.

A blue already said stuff like that is not gonna happen in classic, Classic and Retail are separate and won’t cross-contaminate each other.

Blues/Blizzard say a lot of things. No flying in WoD, no Zandalari pallies, no classic serrvers

because i totally want to have to worry about if a person is their to actually play classic or if they just want the mogs and will leave after word.

no thanks.

[Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders (Bloodfall)]

You are putting words in my mouth. I don’t think the game will fail without it, but just having no future content for the game and doing nothing about it is a recipe for failure. They can add content for classic exclusively like Old School Runescape and be fine has long has it feels like classic.

I pity for thinking that more than one person can share an opinion

[Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel (Matcauthon)]

On top of that, the problem is that it invites the wrong kind of person to play Classic: People who don’t really want to play Classic, but just want those super rare transmogs.

It’s a fair point. But the amount of grinding/leveling/etc you need to hit max and gear to obtain those sought after items equates to contributing to the community on their journey

yes but they don’t continue that contribution. everyone else helped to get you your benediction/t3/applicable mount. but you’re bailing before returning that favor.

[Dealloc-dethecus (Dealloc)]

I sort of want to cite every blue post about flying not being an option in WoD and everything they backpedalled on

All of which is irrelevant. Classic by its very definition cannot receive the sort of updates necessary which would invoke such “backpedaling”.

[Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel (Matcauthon)]

If they are only here for the transmogs then let them come get it. They will put up the work required to achieve it. I rather have an actual community than one that will die from starved content

the problem is that they aren’t going to stick around to help the other people get what they want.

how is it fair that 39 people help you get Benediction/T3/rare mount but you bail before helping those 39 people get what they want?

[Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders (Bloodfall)]

History shows Blizzard is interested in making a constant flow of money, not forming a gatekeeping community

[Mergons-terenas]

Transmog

Never got the chance to play with dolls when you were young?

[Tiea-detheroc]

because i totally want to have to worry about if a person is their to actually play classic or if they just want the mogs and will leave after word.

Ninjas/guild deserters were a thing before this.

I’d rather invite some people just coming for transmog then have no new players and have the server die. And who knows maybe some will stay on their journey to grab their piece of loot.

[Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders (Bloodfall)]

Old School Runescape disagrees

[Mergons-terenas]

OSRS already has a huge amount of players leaving due to too manny changes…

just because ninjas and deserters existed before does not mean it’s okay to create more reasons for them to exist.

[Tiea-detheroc]

Less so than if everything stayed the same and stagnant. Trust me, a Blue post said it somewhere.

[Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders (Bloodfall)]

/sigh I’ll feed the troll

Believe or not but the majority of players like to be able to customize their characters

Except it doesn’t provide any argument as to why it’s a good idea.

I could come up with a list of hundreds of optional things. Should Blizzard implement whatever I suggest just because “it’s optional”?

If not, why is your optional thing a better idea than any number of optional things I can dream up?
