Was mage tower the victory blizz needed or a failure?

Then maybe they should tune it to be closer and more accurate to the ToS level instead of being harder than it was at initial release? As there are many encounters that ARE significantly harder than they ever were which is the current case for many spec/class combos. But that would require them to have more than a single day of PTR testing. Then they could idk, do this crazy thing where they balance the encounter around not having consumables or cheese gear that many people either spend a good deal in money/gold to min/max. Because right now as it stands, it feels more like a pay to win setup… where a lot of people just buy gold via a WoW token to build up a cheese set from the AH. Basically incentivizing bad development behaviour that has driven Shadowlands to where it regretfully is right now. A template would solve that, but also I have a feeling that WoW token profits would take a beating.

Look I am not someone who thinks ONLY MDI/MWF players should be able to achieve the completions. Challenges are supposed to be difficult but obtainable within reason and proportiate to the end reward. The armor sets are not that great looking for a lot of classes as they are just re-colors where the originial ToS set looks better. Even the book mount looks kind of dull imo. What you get ARE NOT new looking sets with new spell effects, the mount is a recylced one they would have given everyone to collect dust in their collections tab instead of the Wandering Ancient mount that people chose for the mount contest, and there is no new title for completing 36/36. If everything was brand new and super shiny looking with a new title offered up I wouldn’t mind it being as difficult as it would be under template conditions. In fact I would be even more pressed to towards it as a serious goal.

Even then I don’t think it should be catered to the MDI/MWF folk only as they have their own rewards for completing those arduous tasks. However I also don’t think you should just be able to roflstomp everything either with barely any knowledge of what the encounter entails. So I don’t think it should also be catered to people who can only complete LFR/Mythic+0 dungeons because they don’t want to invest any time into learning how to play their class/spec inside and out or play the game properly.
