We took your fun and then we doubled it put a 2hr cooldown on it. - Blizzard
Cry enough and changes happen I guess.
Should be a one time use item. Stop screwing over veteran players
That change only existed because the wannabe elitists were mad they couldnt feel special, they rly need to stop pandering to that toxic part of the community.
Why $%^& like this needs a cooldown i'll never know. Whatever though.
Thank god they added some sort of a cool down. I wish they hadn't added this item in the game at all though, however.If you are in the camp where you feel like "fun detected" is the case here, no. Just stop it. There is nothing "fun" about getting stuff handed to you, and if you think there is, I'd like to point to you a multitude of examples proving otherwise. In an MMO, there is a reason some items are lucrative and some aren't. I can promise you as someone who was around for both, farming Tier 3 on the BMAH is exponentially harder than pugging/cheesing it at level 70. Farming millions of gold, outbidding your competition, the patience, everything about the BMAH makes you EARN this set, so don't try to discredit those who bought it - it takes a lot of effort. More effort than you are willing to put in, apparently, all things considered. If you want the set that bad, what is stopping you from putting in the effort and farming out the gold required for it? You only want this toy because you aren't willing to put in the actual work to get those appearances, which takes away from those who did.

I disagree with the change but I can't say I didn't see it coming. Once the vanity of the item wore off, its use would have gone down anyway, just look at the apprentice hat from the quest in Azshara, people still use it occasionally, but it's not like everyone walks around with it constantly, even though you theoretically also have a 100% uptime on it. A more diplomatic change would have been giving it a 10 minute CD for a 30 minute appearance, with the caveat that it can show more appearances than just those 2. Either way, it is what it is, I guess.
God forbid the people who bought tier 3 feel like their minutes of buying tokens to auction feel like their work was sullied. Or their, gasp, hours of gold farming!Fun detected, fun nerfed. Can't have fun vanity things that function for more time than it takes to warm up dinner!
We saw something fun! Aaaaaand it's gone.
Can the toy just give you a buff with the text "I went to Revendreth and all I got was this lousy buff"? I'd take that over yet another minor cosmetic toy with an absurdly long cooldown.
Blizard just loves to give cool items that only like to last 15 min and have crazy long cds just make it an hour cd or at least 30min - 1h buff some we can enjoy new things. BOO!
