Oh hey look I found a nice, long thread about people pointing out EXACTLY what I mentioned. Some of those quests easily took months to appear and many people reported they were still missing some in the last week or two leading up to when Blizzard had said was the cutoff.
But by all means tell me how you can guarantee that not a single person missed out on it because of RNG not giving them the quests they needed.
Pointing out that not everything has to be a tedious grind and that there are people such as myself who have mounts, titles, etc. that were removed who have no problem with them being brought back isn’t complaining. It’s being vocal about my opinion on the matter just as you’re being vocal about yours.
I didn’t specifically say cosmetics from Shadowlands were removed when Dragonflight launched. This part I was referring to cosmetics and titles in general. There is zero reason to remove stuff like that from the game just so some people can feel special about having something others don’t when they literally have an Achievement or Feat of Strength, complete with a date stamp on it, that says “I DID THIS WHEN IT WAS CURRENT!” that they can point to if they wanna show how awesome they are at a game we are all playing for entertainment purposes.
But in my opinion, your entertainment shouldn’t require others to not be able to obtain stuff just because you feel like the possibility of seeing some random person who you don’t think “earned” it invalidates your accomplishment. You accomplishing getting AOTC or CE or Gladiator in some random season of some random expansion of WoW took a lot of time and effort. And regardless of your reason for it, you got a FoS that shows you got a badass mount or title for it. What’s so wrong with some new player looking at older mounts and titles and going, “THAT’S IT! The perfect one!” and getting it because they thought it was just as cool as you did?
