Comment by cpuriErr, BFA timewalking when? I would have expected that by then, but obviously "pandamonium" does not fit like at all.Comment by Chanchi"modern Mythic+ dungeons we know and love today!" - that made me laugh. Most players run those for the weekly chest, hence why the non-stop problems with M+, toxicity, players trying to enforce the high end meta on lower keys, all the changes to bring 20s back to more like old 15s, etc.Comment by CSM101I think the challenge mode sets should remain unobtainable tbh. At least in the original coloring. For the average player in MoP(average being the KEYWORD here, guys), Gold wasn't a faceroll. Despite what some might claim that it was.
People got a really hard time understanding the skill level of people and putting themselves in their shoes.

It's fiiine if some stuff remains unobtainable when there was a lot of people actually doing that content back in MoP, players who still play today.
Very different to T3 in which an extremely low % of people ever got that, even if you count TBC and Wrath.Comment by DeathcamPlease don't... Let some of us keep something special...Comment by GigabearPanda-monium is just in time for Kung Fu Panda 4! We are so back!Comment by spid3rs1Well now you have my curiosityComment by Rainy89They can do recolors of the legion class order hall versions but dont touch the originalsComment by medivh888alstActually one of the Only disappointing aspects about legion was that the class order hall sets were based on the challange mode ones and used alot of the same models but they still didn't want you having a pure recolour for some reason so they wrecked half of them :/ if this comes back (and maybe the phoenix type birds) im gonna be super stoked!Comment by KryplixxBring them back, but different colors. That way the 7 ppl can enjoy their old mog while we get new ones. Win, win.Comment by LostHead"modern Mythic+ dungeons we know and love today!" - that made me laugh.

Anyway, "they've made some recent changes that has indicated a shift in this philosophy like Naxxramas & Tier 3 being craftable." is wrong since those were always available in BMAH and said content was removed for "WotLK reasons" and their looks updated as Tier 7 sets. Also, tier sets were never a time limited reward.

The "shift" is more about returning removed content back into the game than returning time limited rewards.

Sure, they may try to bring those again by bringing back the challenge mode concept and create new sets for every expansion, since they once said that they were thinking how to reintroduce those back without just handling them like a Twitch Prime reward, but... it has nothing to do with Naxx or any change of philosophy.Comment by haydenarnetti HATE how blizzard has ruined any sort of exclusivity. has pretty much made Tmog and collecting irrelevant. Everything is accessible to any random noob. Only thing unique left is Gladiator Mounts and those will end up on the trading post or wow shop soon enough.Comment by RainMan88The reason people want those is BECAUSE they are unobtainable.

There is nearly zero prestige in this game. Please don't get rid of what's left of it.

Let's ADD to it. Create New rewards, like they did with that Legion Tier 6 re-do.

Let's create NEW rewards that later become unobtainable.Comment by medivh888alstThey can do recolors of the legion class order hall versions but dont touch the originalsComment by petemagyarif CM set returns as it was (not a recolor or a visual upgrade) i think many ppl will be very unhappy or instaquit. the consolation prize/FOMO whiner society begging for former prestige rewards to come back is killing the rarity and prestige of items and they just cry gatekeeper when you try to explain it to them.Comment by tomloldknow that they could be potentially bringing back alot of old sets, thoughts on bringing back old elite pvp sets ?Comment by YortalI only managed to get the CM set for my lock back in MoP. They are still today one of the few sets with special effect and interaction with your character emotes/spell/behaviour. Would be welcome to be able to get the others, even if it's not the original color.Comment by LostelfChallenge mode sets making a comeback would be great. Always regretted doing them on my warrior over my paladin main.

But tbh the red recolour not being available was -why- I did it on Warr so if they make that available instead then that's even better for me personally.Comment by BerraDo you really think these sets scream "Prestige!"? I beg to differ, you just happened to be playing WoW at the time these sets were available. A lot of players who want these tmogs are fully capable of completing all these challenge modes while playing with 1 hand.

Me personally, I didn't play MoP and obv missed out. I raid / m+ on a fairly decent level, why shouldn't players like me get a chance to have cool mogs? I wanna hear your reasoning here, I am very curious.Comment by KagaThey could make a recolor of the CM sets. That way you can still recognize the OG rewards while giving people that already have CM something new they might want.Comment by SoeroahI just hope 'timerunning' means 'boss rush mode' instead of having to try to do every SoO boss in a single timewalking raid.

i HATE how blizzard has ruined any sort of exclusivity. has pretty much made Tmog and collecting irrelevant. Everything is accessible to any random noob. Only thing unique left is Gladiator Mounts and those will end up on the trading post or wow shop soon enough.
