Yes, that elite weapon was the same as mythic tier progression.
Don't be ridiculous.

If you'd like provide some sort of proof to back up the claim I supposedly bought 8 boosts (I wish I was that rich), then go ahead.
If not, then please return to jacking off to hentai.
Reaching 2.2k back in Cataclysm was a lot more difficult than reaching 2.2k now, i cant even imagine why Blizzard are planning to add this "feature".
i don't really see how it excists in pve, the challenge mode sets are the closest thing to the elite sets, and those are NOT available to any player who hasn't done the content when it was current.
Tier sets are comparable to the regular PvP sets, which are all available to purchase from a vendor.
That's because you don't want to see any other reason.
For some people there is more to content beyond what shiny they get at the end of it.
World PvP was a big thing purely because it was fun.
The problem now is players who demand rewards, who demand that it is "worth their time".
Absolutely. The value of "exclusive gear" fades very rapidly once the next tier/season/expansion rolls around. I am fine with keeping the gear exclusive while it's relevant, but years down the line it just seems like a tragic waste to withhold it from people who might enjoy it for different reasons.
I also am not convinced about the need to place old elite gear behind a current arena ranking. Just make it cost a significant number of marks of honor and be done with it. Removing a skill barrier and replacing it with an effort barrier is fine for old stuff.
I player arenas from season 5. And no, reaching 2.2k now is much harder than back in cata or wotlk. Back in cata/worlk no one fakecasted at 1.7 as every healer does nowdays, playerbase was twice as big, there was no twitch and tones of youtube content where people could learn how to play. Look at all the people with 2.2k achieve from back in the days sitting at 1.8k in legion....
This is a very welcome change and will make me step into the arena for sure.
Now if only old legendaries and MoP/WoD CM sets got the same treatment i'd be a happy camper.
But it's got to the point where fakecasting is the biggest play you can do.
The game has lost all depth since those days.
Arena is 90% comp, you can't play sub-tier 1 comps anymore because there's nothing to outplay with. All you have is damage. Counter comps completely counter because of this, and tier 1 is the only tier.
