What if the legendary quest required gold in challenge mode?

[bayushisan]

Here's what I see every single time one of these threads pops up: "You're not playing the way I want you to play! Blizzard shouldn't let you play unless you play the way I want you to!"

Really this nonsense needs to stop. This is a game. It's supposed to be fun, not an indicator of your social status or personal self worth; nor is it supposed to be a second job. When it ceases to be fun, then there's a problem.

How is putting a requirement on a Legendary forcing you to play a certain way?

[Molestron]

Blizzard has made the discovery that retards and social recluses can be paying customers as well, so why not dumb the game down to be played by idiots as well as not requiring one to group up even for raiding?!

[Hubbl3]

LFR harder than vanilla ? LOL there's a nice way to see you never played it. Actually it took 3 months to kill ouro by the best guild at the time, and any lfr group will clean his instance on first try. But W/e


3000 valor is gated shit.
9/9 is not gated, it just requires you to know how to play, and you can do it in 2 hours and not 3 fucking weeks

You don't understand how raiding works.

yeah thats why I'm ranked on wol and usually have the highest survivability in my raids, lol

And nobody cares about that either..

Blizz are the ones who decide what they want for the legendary questline and for the current xpac they have chosen what was required of the player to get their cloak.. Because this legendary questline had a story behind it and really CM's wouldn't fit into it..

Technically you could combine the two, by just adding completion of CM gold as one of the objectives in a new legendary quest chain.

I did think that it should of required Gold proving grounds.

So to get access to the Tank cloak you had to do Tank gold etc etc.

But hey whatever I don't care what other people have I don't need to feel like a special snowflake I only care about me and my guild.

Lol. You are clearly uninformed if you think challenge mode boosts doesnt require someone to play your character

And you are clearly uninformed if you think that you can be boosted in a SOLO scenario, read the post that you're replying to before replying.

People were selling green fire 'boosts' for most of 4.2-4.3. That's a solo scenario. I am also aware that while it helps if someone is playing the character for a CM boost, that someone isn't necessarily the account owner.

For some reason I think that OP is Jaylock's twink

Omg. CHALLENGE MODE BOOST = SOMEONE PLAYS YOUR CHARACTER INSTEAD OF YOU
ARENA BOOST = SOMEONE PLAYS YOUR CHARACTER INSTEAD OF YOU

now let's imagine a hard solo scenario (like warlock quest maybe)
SOLO SCENARIO = SOMEONE PLAYS YOUR CHARACTER INSTEAD OF YOU

[Nobleshield]

Sure BUT CMs need the time limit removed. The problem with CMs in general is that it doesn't encourage "hard" content it encourages cheesing and skipping as much as possible. Where's the challenge in that?

Seriously though, of course not. They handled the legendary cloak correctly. Why do you care if "bads" get the cloak? How does that lessen your enjoyment? Oh wait, it doesn't.

[Rampant Rabbit]

more skill than afking in LFR tho
and also a lot more luck (which is tied to the legendary idea)

You. You're a little cry baby.

What, giving people your password?

Is anyone stupid enough to actually do that?

[rated]

Yeah let's ask ourselves something. Legendary has to mean something. Would it be a good idea to require 9/9 gold ? Personnaly I think so.

Afking in LFR requires no skill, whereas getting 9/9 gold means you kinda know how to play. The casual excuse doesnt matter : you dont need time, hell you dont even need gear.

I always found the challenge mode rewards highly lackluster. I think gating the legendary quest to them would be a good idea. The bads wont have a legendary, at least

The people who sell challenge runs for money just had their eyes lit up with $$$$$$ reading your post.

This, and pretty much SoO encounters are balanced around an assumption that basically everyone in the raid has one. They are powerful things, and making it harder to obtain would actually do weird things in respect to game balance at the end, as well as cause people to quit rather than switch mains if there wasn't an easy way of catching up.

In all honesty, I'd rather see Legendaries removed as they're too impacting on the game, and have the effort put into cosmetic rewards for class quests, like green fire. Those are much more personally rewarding, and long lived. I loved the DTR quest for example, kinda lame that I get so little out of it now; if only they made Tarecgosa's visage a learned spell from it :3

Skipping packs and avoiding patrols is challenging. Just not the kind of challenge you enjoy, which is fair enough.

And yes, if everyone has a thing, it lessens the value of that thing. Rarity has a value all of its own.

Interesting point in itself. Everyone would be moaning about how Gold CMs weren't challenging enough because everyone had them...

[celinamuna]

What would it change ?
So far i've did 3 cm's (not really carry, with friend). I did terribly as ret paladin, in part due to lack of experience as ret or in CMs, and yet we still got gold.
