Why such a long cooldown on toys?

12hr cooldown on Atomic Recalibrator?
Toys aren’t fun if you’re not gonna let us have FUN with them.
Make it make sense blizzard.
Why limit your player base from having fun and doing fun things?

Or, if you are not using them to be a troll, this is a fast way to kill fun, a key design goal.

Imagine if Blizz had similar time limits on your fun in real life. Life would be pure hell.

The 5 minute CD for 3 minutes of Sparkle Wings is Blizzard hard trolling.

Fun was detected and Blizzard wasn’t having any of it. I think too many people whined about the train toy and the dance toy and Blizzard just went all crazy on all the toys. They should have just kept a 10 minute cooldown on the annoying ones and left all the others. But you know Blizzard…BRING ON THE NUKE!

Even toys need a break, man. Nobody wants a wobbly kneed GI Joe.

Because no fun allowed.
I thought we all knew this.

Imagine the start of a new expansion and everyone is in the new fancy capital. Blizzard just removed all cooldowns from toys.

:dracthyr_hehe_animated:

Toys stopped being about neat things to collect that have fun social effects to being slightly less neat things to collect to fill a book for an achievement. The things you collect having an effect is a bonus, not a mainstay.

Well,it’s like this when players get a fun toy they misuse it. Remember the nat fishing chair be used in pvp? That fishing chair was cool whine up to be a fish ,yeah a dead fish. So those long cool downs will make you think twice before doing that kind of stunt.

Have you guys ever seen how annoying it is when someone dumps 20x Clockwork Azshara in the Valdrakken AH, then caps it off by putting a Stonewrought Sentry at the door? Your chatbox literally turns red…

Simple answer, at least in my opinion, is that Blizzard wants you to play your characters as you created them and not use toys to maintain a different race

All race changing toys have similar long cooldowns

Because they lag everything out. People abused them so they had to give them cooldowns so they didn’t trash server frames.

Still waiting for the Magic Banana to be added to the Toy box, and i got that in MoP.

Not as much as they do when you pull out your train wrecker.

I feel like a lot of the toys could have dramatically lowered cooldowns. Even if they were lowered to a minute, or no cooldown at all.
