the real question should be when are they going to take out the Legendaries from Vanilla, BC, Wrath and Cata?
The Cloak and Ring feel a lot more rewarding since you cant get them anymore.
Omaigosh, they remove one questline which was available for 2 years. Focken Blizzard, they remove content whenever they can!
It's not about obtaining legendaries, I don't particularly like the legendaries galore concept of Legion, it's about beautiful content and stories that are being removed.
The term "devs" for me includes everyone that is involved in making the game, not only one single dude...

You sir, reached all time low of idiocy. Sorry for somewhat flaming, but thats ridiculous. You arent forced to do anything. Say it with me slowly- You, are not, forced, to do, the, legendary, quest line, at all, ever. Nobody has a gun to your head, nobody but yourself is making you do the legendary quest line. I never finished the WoD legendary questline and thats because the only person who decides if I do it or not is me.
The only person that decides whether you do the questline or not is yourself. Nobody is forcing you. Not blizzard, not your mom whose basement your obviously dwelling in, not anyone. Stop blaming Blizzard for your addiction to WoW, they arent forcing you to play and they arent forcing you to do the quest line unless they have a gun to your head, but they dont.
Apparently, you did not read a word from whole thread. If a friend of you or anyone else pick up WoW in 2 months from now, get chopped content, no matter how many years old is. The are a lot of examples, I just pointed major ones.. I can remind you warlock quest line for mount, or paladin one.. and so on. If you don't give a crap about quest and about beautiful world that is inside WoW you can buy a legal a character boost to lvl 100 from Blizzard store and your good to go wherever you like. So, why you argue about old content? Old content was golden.. I play from 2004, I know what I say.
So...why not leave the stuff like old CMs and Legendary quests in the game. Convert the rewards into a new type of heirloom item, and leave the original items as a cosmetic xmog for the special snowflakes so they don't get butthurt over their "accomplishments being diminished"(as though ANY of that crap matters in the current xpack).
Use legendaries that aren't current in timewalking dungeons. It's relevant again.
Timed events are good for the game, makes certain aspects actually feel a bit special.
I can agree with that, easily. I have no problems with them removing the rewards.
It's just the laziness of ripping out huge questlines that tell the story of the expansion. Just put different rewards in, like a recolored mount or something. New players should be able to get the interaction with Wrathion and Khadgar in the future, while playing.
The legendary quest lines are far too integral to the WoD and mop story to be removed. They should just remove the legendary ring itself but keep the questline active.

So new players who start in Legion, just fuck them, right? Or players who are returning after quitting in Wrath or Cata.
Now they get to level through content where the story isn't fully told. That's just great design, ain't it?
But hey, you got yours, so fuck everyone else, amirite?

Well, I think it's obvious, the current dev team doesn't care much about old content, and just want to funnel everyone into the latest, with the character boost. It's easier, for one. No matter how much Ion talks about leveling being broken, their actions pretty much tell you all you need to know - if you want to play the previous expansions, they don't care. You're on your own. Didn't get the whole story? Tough luck - it was easier for them to rip the whole thing out than rebuild it with a non-legendary reward.
same as vanilla? there was an epic hugely long grindy AQ gate opening questline, thats gone from the game, that rewarded the only legendary mount in the game if you did it within 12? 24? hours of the first.

as long as you don't use the legendary ring it's pure trash, the 715 one is better 100% of the time.
That questline is probably one of the most epic they've ever done. And, correct me if I'm wrong, it was removed finally because of the Cata changes removed or changed locations for the quests, and it was going to be difficult to rebuild it? It wasn't just a random decision to remove it, if I recall.

yeh it was epic even if i did do it at 80, and it was indeed removed because of cata screwing it all up, but then again the reward was already gone, you got nothing the mount reward was gone years ago.
i think if blizzard kept the questline in and removed the reward the playerbase would go ape shit now, but no-one is really making a huge deal about the scarab mount so it's best they stick to letting everyone know it's going and remove it.
Because they like to cause special snowflake syndrome in their players.
I'm still pissed they removed the cloak questline, I really enjoyed it and wanted to replay it when the grinding became much easier (As in when the raids became soloable and I didn't have to do LFR a thousand times for my last titan runestone that refused to drop). Pity they're doing it to the ring too. It sucks when they remove content.
