That's the point: A lot of things that are/were harder than Cmodes are still available. They made High Warlord/Grand Marshal gear obtainable for transmog. It's really hyperbole to think Cmodes are anywhere near top 0.5% arena rating in terms of difficulty too. PvE gets cutting edge FoS (everyone) and PvP gets mount & top title FoS (almost no one).
Some of my friends said this a few seconds ago They skipped MoP because "it suck" from their PoV and were planning to do some MoP stuff in WoD but seems they won't even resub good job blizzROFL just another reason NOT to resub for WOD!
Why you think the Net was born? Porn! Porn! Porn!
They weren't balanced for the class and gear changes (trinkets and gem sockets) that happened through Mists, either. Yet they were not removed after the first hotfix, either.
This is weird and kinda dumb. Blizzard has been saying for years that the dates on the achievements is your proof of being awesome at that time, rather than exclusive rewards. Now they're tripping over themselves to start adding lots of exclusive rewards.
Some people are lazy / unskilled and wait for the content to become trivial before they do it.

Thread title is misleading, challenge modes aren't going anywhere, the reward from them does though.

People freaking, out don't worry...the mounts/armor will be available in the BMAH sometime in the future, negating your time and effort with the exception of the FoS
If they plan to remove those challenge modes, then they also have to remove titles. Sorry, but it's just stupid to finish them without removing those titles from the game. Why? because challenge modes have been inconsistent through the whole expansion, and if the plan is that the last guys keep the titles forever, then... GG blizzard. What about those who constantly beated their own best realm times when the gear didn't have as many gem slots and there was no title or achievement?
This is contrary to everything else they have removed from the game. I am pretty sure their stance is "If you get it, it is yours to keep".
Think about all the removed mounts, hunter pets, achvs, etc. They are something special that distinguishes you from others who didn't get them.
i really hope that i will have scholomance record by then . darkmaster ftw :> .
What I thought challenge modes would be, and what they ended up being, were totally different.
If they had been a per realm only thing, it would have been interesting.
The fact that so many people just got carried through via cross realm arrangements made it pretty pointless.
The title means nothing to me. No way to tell if the people using it earned it, or just got carried.
Just my opinion.
