I share this idea as someone who has sets and mounts you can no longer get. IDC if other have a copy of old digital cosmetic set/mount. THE GAME IS 18 YEARS OLD.
For pvp mounts/trans mogs give ONE 2k token per season per character to buy one transmog set or mount. Current gear or legacy.
For AOTC mounts just make them a low drop chance on the last bosses. Farmable like Invincible. OR have some kind of timewalking scale down to let people run it like the old days to earn it.
Old raid/dungeon gear & mount drops just put them back.
I’ll never understand why people care at all about the exclusivity of intangible digital items they own. You are not allowed to sell the items or your account so the items have no real collectible value at all like sports memorabilia does, it’s just a string of 1s and 0s that we will ALL one day lose access to once WoW reaches it’s inevitable end. Exclusivity in this case serves no purpose except to feed the ego of the small portion of the playerbase that needs exclusive items to feel important.
I don’t just support making the exclusive items I own available through some other means, I would actually applaud it. Exclusivity of digital items was, is, and always will be a stupid concept. And to clarify, there’s no unobtainable item I don’t own that I currently want (most of them are old and are really showing their age), so I have nothing to gain if they did change this.
I don’t know why they care, I’m not one of them. The fact is they do care, and shouldn’t be screwed over because some Johnny-come-latelys think they deserve whatever they want. Since I don’t have a dog in this fight, I see two groups of people who want something that is in opposition to the other group. The best solution is the one that is the most fair. The Johnny-come-latelys were never told they could have an exclusive, while the people who earned their exclusives were told they would remain exclusive.
Somebody has to be left wanting in this issue. I feel it should be the people who were never told they could have something. The other group shouldn’t have the rug yanked out just because some other people have wants.
I get why companies do promotions by offering limited time rewards. I get why people new to the game would want them. I have some mounts people want and there’s a couple of mounts I missed out on. If I don’t get the one I really want, and I’m not expecting them to offer it, I’m going to be just fine.
Your guild says Benevolent, you present your case in the fashion not of need, but of sharing. Immediately dismissing an argument of another as merely pixels.
Your words are stained with the hallmarks of a con artist.
This is your plea to complete your own collection and has nothing to do with kindness to others.
Old gear and quest rewards that were removed from the game because of the Cata revamp? Absolutely! Blizzard did some of this with the Salvage option in Garrisons.
