Who cares if someone spent millions on the BMAH or got T3 from Naxx 17 years ago. Just add it and stop with all the annoying grinds and confusing unlockables.
Agreed, just bring the original Plaguelands Naxx back (even if it's via bronze dragon phasing), as well as other old removed content.People who spent a lot of gold on BMAH - well, a lot of other things people spent a lot of gold on have gotten back to the game, and they've had the stuff for a while. They can clearly make more gold easy enough.People who earned it back in the day - they've had over a decade to feel special about it, and they can be given a legacy achievement for it to show off that they got it "honest".
Mounts were kind of 1 thing, it just feels weird that something that could be put into the revamped instances but maybe as just rarer items could have been better, I know BMAH is a thing, but not everyone is going to have millions of gold while other items that have been removed were either - A) added back in the game in the revamp raids or another way in some form or B) was CM gear that was probably never meant to be re added, so for a tier set (of all things) to not have had the same treatment by simply just making them rarer items in their respective content just feels weird, that way, it's still rare but it's rare because of gold or rare because of it's drop chance
Just put it all back in. It's fine to do it in a neat way like this but the idea that there is a "line" we need to avoid crossing is ridiculous.
bring back corrupted ashbringer
I remember winning rolls for the Cryptstalker set only to not get the loot because the GM of the guild was Lootmaster and a Hunter as well so he thought it was in the best interest for him to take all hunter loot and say screw everyone else. lets just say the guild didnt last after 24hrs of me blacklisting him on the forums and busting him out on the forums. Back then the forums is where your reputation was on the line and if you was called out, every server knew you by name and the guild you came from. The guild was also blacklisted as well...Fast forward to pandaria when the BMAH was introduced: You couldnt win a tier set even if you had the gold because of the whales maxing out the gold cap on the item you wanted. nvm the unclaimed chest which sometimes surprises you with good items. so basically the BMAH was for the whales that decided that no one else but themselves should purchase the items from there and max out the bid so no one can top them. Now here we are at dragonflight and now there will be the option of acquiring of the T3 sets again. am I happy about it? maybe. will it encourage me to go out and farm for whatever items is needed to get said tier set? maybe at a later date. I am glad that I have 11 other alts with maxed out professions that I can craft whatever I need so I can sustain myself and if the items needed to craft for these tier sets drop I can go and craft them and not spend a 100K plus on an item in the AH. But I can hear the whales now cry because they spent all "their hard earned gold" buying the items that were removed from the game only to return years later...Ill be the one to tell you, hard earned is not even close. If you craft gear or items and inflate the prices in the AH to make more than just a profit, that not hard earned. Hard earned is going out into the open world and doing quests and events that will give you gold. sell your junk items and be done for the day. All in all I am glad the tier set is returning and I can care less about the cry babies. Ive played this game since its inception in 2004 without missing a subscription. If the whiny babies are crying because their precious tier sets are returning then I feel sorry for you.
Ion Haz is the the most stuck up game dev to have run WoW. It is "His way or highway" mentality , and he is a awful sore on ideals. T3 was earned , deleted to make room , and then Transmog happened and people were screwed out of their cosmetics retroactive efforts. T3 shouldn't be some god awful method to attain, BMAH already exists and its always won by player/bots who play 24/7. :facepalm: sometimes they have big wins and then Ion opens his elitist idealist mouth.
I'm glad T3 is coming back. Heck, all of my CMode gear should be obtainable by others too. Nothing in the game should be grandfathered. There is always a new "hardest to get item" each patch that provides bragging rights to those who get it during the current patch. Just because people weren't playing in 2004/05 doesn't make those who were somehow more elite - the game is inifnitely more complex now then it was then.Warcraft should bring everything back and make it obtainable and move away from a "Fear of missing out" model to enjoyable and challenging content people want to do. When they start driving peoples emotions by fun rather than fear of missing out it'll be a better game for everyone.
I think i'll need to see exactly what this "significant investment" is before i'm sold. Is it going to be an actual gold sum? or just reagents. Because reagents can be farmed, albeit slowly sometimes - but if it's physical gold i'm going to be really annoyed. Just let it drop again. It's not like tier 3 really means anything, Classic attests to that
