There was a time when rewards actually signified an accomplishment in the game. There's a reason why so many people like to use their WoD/MoP CM gear, use the hardest to obtain titles, etc. It's to say "Hey, I did this."
Yes, it's just a game. But there needs to be some sort of reward for a player to do the hardest content otherwise why bother? How many people do you think would do the Mage Tower challenges right now if there wasn't a skin attached to it?
Going back and getting a few sets once you can solo a raid is fine, but I do think there's a place for some limited time rewards to reward good, veteran players.
And this is coming from someone who would literally pay $1000 for a fucking Amani War Bear. I want that thing. Does it suck I can't get it? Yes. But it would lose some of it's prestige if they just brought it back.
I think there is room for scaled gear/level content where the challenges can be available forever, obviously class changes and such would cause issues, but I would still respect the challenge if it just can't be outgeared.
