This is an incredibly petty reason to be upset with Blizzard. It's okay for things to be unobtainable.
But you wanting the reward is literally fear of missing out.... lol.
And your argument amount new players is ridiculous. I could easily say the opposite, and say it's one more reason to entice a new player to play the game so he/she can get cool gear that may be unobtainable in the future (which is equally ridiculous).
Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!
Why do you care about my... you know what.
Anyway... yes i want my rare items/titles be exclusive now.
'If everybody is legendary then nobody is legendary'.
Sounds like 'i did not get the cloack back then so i want it now for free' to me bro.
Again - where do you see 'time gating' here? I think you do not know meaning of this phrasal verb...
Many of the titles/achievements (like server firsts or 'Immortal' title) are no longer avaiable.
Oh wait... some mounts are no longer here too like phoenixes in MoP or Old School Ride ones.
If only Blizzard was consistent in the things they do remove and the things they intend to keep in the game forever.
Their reasoning is also very dependant on the subject.
"If you are what you HAVE and you lose what you have, what then are you? But if you are what you ARE and you lose what you have, no man controls your destiny".
I wish they had never taken it out. It continued the story where leveling left off and held it together through the patches. Without it you miss important lore and storytelling in a game that Blizzard keeps trying to insist that has an actual important story that you must know and experience in order to properly share the world with other players.
Or at least that's their justification for making new accounts level through BFA in Shadowlands. But if we're honest, they just say whatever is most convenient for them at any given time to shut people up about their design choices. If this were true, the cloak and ring quests would still be there available for everyone to experience whether they're new players or people looking to enjoy them again on alts.
it should be do-able, and anything else, mounts, raids,dungeons, etc should be added back

Agreed, especially the ring quest for WoD.
Mist's storyline still works without the Wrathion questline, but WoD's storyline (which was already laughably bad) is a complete shit show when you don't have the Ring quest tying it all together.
You're right, I didn't get the cloak because I was to busy heroic raiding and getting 2k+ in pvp. I've beat rank 1 with the cloak. I don't want it removed because it mindless and a time sink. I called it time gated because it was a reward for time put in rather than skill and those should never be removed. Things like mythic appearances, pvp appearances, and achievements should be removed before the cloak is removed. It was brain dead. I don't enjoy "do you have a pulse system that blizzard adds to their game". My cloak on live is still rank 5 despite the fact, I have 95% parses for ilvl because, I don't enjoy check in system or chore list.
If your ok with mythic appearances being removed form the game along with the cloak we can see eye to eye. Otherwise that shit is hypocritical.

Not just that, but also they wanted to reinforce the FOMO for any potential future events. Don't ever unsub, kids. You might miss something that you'll never be able to get again!
You can see it with things like the mage tower and MoP challenge dungeons, certain Legion legendary skins, etc.
It's all just there to keep people logging in, and has nothing to do with making the game better.
They removed it so that you would be subscribed at the period of time the quest line was currently active, even though the expansion was on it's last sprint.
Now you got other incentives.
