Just like you can buy elite sets for pvp in legion why cant you buy old elite sets for previous xpacs?
my issue at hand is with the ruthless gladiator set from cataclysm.
i have proof i had the 2.2k achievement and the elite recoloring of most items from the set but im missing a few that arent in my void storage or bank anymore for some reason or another
opening a ticket doesnt do anything because all GMs have given me a basic response to go use the item restoration service, fun fact though, the service doesnt go back to 2011

You almost got me there for a second.
This has been annoying me as well.
I can’t use the “set” for several sets I’ve earned because I… never bought the bracers. There was no point to it back then.
They really need to allow us to go back and buy the old pieces if you have parts of the set already. They’re trophies; we earned them. We should be able to use them.

Oh man, I was about to come in here and lose my mind about people not earning their stuff.
No, this is obviously an issue. If you have the achievement as proof you hit the required ratings, you should absolutely be able to go back and buy the elite mogs you rightfully earned. That should be addressed, but I doubt it will be. Hell, the MoP enchant still hasn’t been addressed either.

Look I’m under the opinion if you can get mythic raid sets from old raids you should be able to get elite pvp stuff if you can hit 2.2k rating

thats lame, yea im tilted right now, not going to lie, iv tried opening multiple tickets but i get the same lame response that they refuse to do an item restoration.
like, i know I HAD BOUGHT THE ELITE SHOULDERS IF I HAVE THE WEAPON TOO
cause who the hell wouldnt? elite shoulder recoloring was the hype back then!
but what tilts me most is their decision to let legion kids still buy their elite sets but screw us all old players who reached 2.2k+ in previous pvp seasons so that we cant buy our elite sets

You had the rating, and thus should have it. Simple as that. Don’t know why blizzard makes it difficult for people that had a clear history of possession of items, but obviously didn’t hold on to it cause limited bag space/continuous gear resets each tier/patch.
Would be amazing if the flag system for universal transmog system was present from wow launch (not meaning transmog though).
I’d love to be able to buy sets if you already have pieces of it. I am missing many complete sets because I’d often start the season playing one class and then catch up with the 3 that I played later on in the season. Sometimes I just wouldn’t get enough conquest to get everything. I have like 1 complete set on my DK despite being at the rating for sets in every season from s9 to WoD s3. I think the only class I have all of the complete elite sets on is rogue since I always started with that.
Same with weapons. Like, I have the elite daggers and staves from s9 and s10 but I didn’t bother getting the 1h agility weapons because combat wasn’t great and transmog didn’t exist. Would be awesome if you already had a weapon from the season if you could get the other ones your class could use.

Honestly, the solution to this one is simple. If you have a piece from back then because you hit the proper rating / earned the proper achievements, then an ensemble should pop up on the vendor that you can purchase the rest of your mog / weapons from that particular vendor. Only if you have the proper pieces from that specific season, of course.
And I make that clarification not for you Bluster because I know you and I are on the same page there, that clarification is just there in general for other people.
Mythic raids aren’t a ladder based competitive system.

Tell that to the rated arena items I can buy from the other xpacs

You mean the ones that became honor sets the season after anyways? Yeah, that never happened with anything with the elite tag, including those seasons elite weapons and tabards. Try again.

Look bro that’s just my opinion
No one cares about elite sets anyways because transmog exists
Thank you for your over the top and yet pointless insight into an off the cuff response to a thread

i care about my elite set xmog
i honestly found damn near my entire ruthless gladiator elite set sitting in my void storage which i forgot it was a thing until recently
again, if you legion kids can buy your elite sets from a vendor for hitting 2k which is still a joke even more so now in bfa
why cant old pvprs who hit 2.2k in the past do the same with their respective season?
But you didn’t get 2.2k rating at the time it was content though
Yeah no doubt you should be able to
I just would like then to unlock the older sets if you can get the rating currently
Or just make them cost like 100 marks of honour each
Anything to incentivise pvp

I wasn’t replying to you it was to the undead guy
I said if you earned your right to have elite PvP set from the time you got it at content, then you have the right to use it
For example: your druid character
If you gotten last season gladiator transmog complete, you earned the right to use it
But any other character doesn’t get their version of elite gear because you didn’t get glad on that alt character your main did
