Most painful toy nerfs

[Normie]

Findle's Loot-a-Rang D: because it makes the game better to wish you were an engineer or huntard (if pets still have fetch, haven't checked yet)

Then we have Salyin Battle Banner which was nerfed to Pandaria only. Everyone reroll nelf or rogue.

The horn only works to level 93 or something (that may have been done earlier, not sure).

I'm sort of afraid to look for others, because it will just upset me.

Others? What have you noticed? Which of them bother you the most?

"Upset" as toy nerfs. I have no words.

I see 8 of them though?

Uhh, none of them bother me. They're toys for a reason, they do not change my gameplay in any way.

The Loot-a-Rang doesn't change your gameplay in any way? Really?

[Alvito]

Some of these are replaced by newer Legion versions. Just a way to make sure people don't get 1 item and use it forever.

For you maybe, for others they do. The horn certainly does for questing or farming since you aggro everything in a 40 yard radius.

I honestly didn't even pay attention to some of these changes, what annoys me more is some of the ridiculously long cool downs on them. 10 minute use, 6 hour cool down, etc.

yes no one besides you and some other guy over in the corner cares about toys. i used the loot a rang like once and decided it wasnt worth the hassle to find 1 more keybind to use and wait for it to reach the target.

Avianna's Feather only works in draenor now =(

[PenguinChan]

I always question why Blizzard nerfs useful items that create a better environment by rewarding players for getting them, especially since that was their purpose in the first place. Never made sense to me why they'd nerf 'fun' or convenience that were earned.

NO longer can I troll the Auction House with the Toy Train Set because no one choo choos anymore. For shame Blizzard!!!

[Schizoide]

Non-engineer loot-a-rang was not replaced. I suggest changing all your characters to engineers; it's very cheap to skill up using blackrock ore.

Bizarrely, the X-52 helmet works everywhere (I think) but doesn't blast you nearly as high, and you would need a glider, and et cetera.

I'm aware of that, which you could have gleaned by reading my first post more carefully. I'll stick with my current professions thank you.

That's pretty lame. I kept a keybind for lil XT for a long time.

The loot a rang nerf sucks for sure!

That's just your opinion man. Personally I used the Salyin Battle Banner constantly to drop combat out of sticky situations on my main & especially on squishy alts.

It was also handy for running by stuff that you'd got tired of repeatedly killing.

[MrExcelion]

Battle Banner for sure, abused that thing ever since it was released (used to work in raids, and was still OP even after that). Avianas feather had its uses in old continents too.

[Todd Duval]

The loot-a-rang change is painful. I was already doing timewalking dungeons and couldn't use it in them either.

That definition has been untrue for a long time.
The idea was to have no travel or combat aids, yet in that list by the OP two are what I would call combat aids.
The horn and the banner.
I would then consider other additions like Skull of the Mad Chief and Aviana's Feather to be transport aids.

The definition of it seems less to be defined now by the functionality, but by the time of release.
Items deemed a combat or mobility aid are now it seems converted to toys at the end of their relevant expansion and are limited to that content only, or possibly earlier as well.

I totally get you. Every time I think complaints have reached a new low....another thread comes along to prove me wrong...

You could always pass along instead of going into every "negative" thread to piss on everyone with an opinion that doesn't align with yours.

Some toys, as has been mentioned already, do affect gameplay.
