    Question Old Seasons Elite Mogs?

    Hello,

    Now i know it is a very controversial topic, but could we please be able to get the old elite pvp mogs somehow?

    I mean, i doubt all players plays all class every seasons since 10y now? What is the actual point of putting coloring and mogs that are never seen again? To me its kind of a waste.

    Not to mention this is only for pvp, i never saw any raider complain about the MM mogs being obtenable in next expacs when players smash it in pugs legacy raids...

    I know there is the prestige and all, but people also have achievements and titiles to show their prestige no?

    FOMO and unobtainable items have no place in 2023 but i dont think we'll see anything like this happen until wow really shits the bed. They'll probably do it by the time they make reputations accountwide.

    There’s no good reason to have them be unavailable but blizzard would rather listen to the special snow flakes then drive more people into more PvP and that seems unlikely to change sadly.
    All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

    It's a very stupid, pointless restriction that doesn't exist for PvE gear. When you obtain the rating should be irrelevant, as long as you do obtain it.

    Maybe they could become available for a resource from winning games at an elite rank currently? Think the vicious saddle system but for games at an elite rank.

    Its okay for the game to have rare and limited time items, especially when they are purely cosmetic. Not everything needs to be available to everyone and that's okay. Let people enjoy being a special peacock in whatever content they excel at.

    Its lame that the mythic sets are free game but, I guess that's the free bone they give players? Hell the elite sets now the same, just a recolor and a few extra lightning bolt effects.

    Imo they should add another elite set for the mythic+ season too.

    Quite certain that they are still available if you have earned them back then, are they not?
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    They should treat both mythic raid tier sets and pvp elite sets the same way, either make them both FOMO or neither. It's really stupid that pvp sets are gone forever when season ends but pve sets aren't.

    Agreed. Special treatment for both sides or neither

    I am still salty that I didn't get the Grievous Elite set on my warlock, so yes please.

  13. #13
    Yes please.
    Anything older than, say 2 years, should just be sold along with the rest for Marks.

    Totally agree, i really dont understand why is blizzard treating the pve and pvp differently, its like if everytime they make it so we think pvp is loooooot harder and looot more prestigious than pve...i dont really get their mindset here.

    Lets be honest here, the people already have their "pestige" and "i feel special" by the fact they have achivements, there is plenty of pve things that are not doable anymore that you can just show with achievements like for example the ra-den or sinestra no death achiev, i dont see why pvpers need to have more than achievements to show off, this is also why to me the fact you cant have access to these recolor or pvp glad mounts after the seasons are a waste of ressources because you literally do content for a very very tiny minorities that is doomed to die out due to ppl not playing eventually...

    These rewards should be given for marks like any other older pvp rewards, or maybe given by completing bgs or some other ways but should not be somply removed from the game...

    You missunderstand here, the point here is to have these old season elite set granted to ppl who did not do it back in the days to avoid having fomo feeling and waste of ressources on content made for only 1% of player base.

    Same with all "no longer available" content, it's just moronically wasteful.
    But naturally we're treading upon layers upon layers of epeen here so yeah "controversial".

    Eh, at least with solo shuffle it's a lot easier to get on all classes.
    Not that i intend to, but let's just say that i discovered that destru warlock is just slliiiiightly OP a few days ago and accidentally got the set.


    Edit: Also with how old some of the unavailable stuff is my comment about layers of epeen made me think about archaeology, like the real life thing; "Hmm this ancient bit of epeen looks like it might still function, let's poke it!"
    "DON'T TOUCH MY PRETTY NETHERDRAKE, MY ENTIRE SELF-WORTH DERIVES FROM IT YOU GREEDY SCUM! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYING YEARS BEFORE YOUR BIRTH IF YOU WANTED IT, I EARNED THIS!"
    "Oh wow, it's still so lifelike."

    This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
    Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.

    Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.

    Nope, I want gear to be earn able. For people to put in just as much if not more effect and just not be limited by time.

    You are the snow flake wanting a to stay special because you have a cosmetic others don’t.

    I feel there's absolutely a place for unobtainable items. Especially one's that have a skill-requirement to acquire. Imagine spending weeks grinding your very first Gladiator title then some trashboi getting it for 90g. No thanks.

    Or just, maybe, the non cringe take of "Play for what you want to get" ? Crazy isn't it...

    You can't win the 2016 super bowl ring too, I guess you should cry to the NFL that it's unfair fomo your mind can't handle ?
