    Btw that was alot more polite than it had to be.
    Why i am here? I don't even know, maybe because this is WoW's news site. Nobody forces you to discuss about sunshine and "fucking" lollipops, i just can't understand why are you bitching about everything.

    I have Plagued Proto-Drake and i really don't care if someone else can get it. Seriously, it's an ugly mount, i don't even know why someone wants it.

    Way too overdramatic reaction for such trivial bullshit. But then again, most reactions around here are overdramatic by nature, it's no surprise.

    Yeah, it's absolutely disgusting and infurating that other players can obtain items that were removed years ago, even though it has no effect on MY gameplay at all! How dare they do this! /sarcasm

    If you can't see how freaking small and harmless it is that a handful of people are going to have a mount/vanity weapon that isn't obtainable anymore, then I can do nothing more than laugh.


    Anyway, I surely wouldn't spend much gold on the plagued drake. If it was the black one, however... I'd invest quite a bit on that one. But not on the plagued.

    As for the weapons, it's a no for me. Even if I did have the monetary power to get them, I don't think they're worth large amounts of gold. But that's just me, and it really means little.

    Or just adding them back to where they belong: the T7 meta-achievements.

    just buy the gold like everyone else. most of the people with gold can afford it. i've ran into people who couldn't even use the AH and yet they had hundreds of thousands of gold. it's because people buy the hell out of gold

    Whenever you post in WoW thread, you bitch. I don't like people who bitch. You have the truth, no one is forcing me to say something about you and your bitching, i was just curious why are you still here.

    It has an effect on MY gameplay because I don't want to see people riding around on the mount that I WORKED HARD TO GET. They didn't work hard, they bought gold from a Chinese farmer or used Guardian Cubs.

    If you actually had actually worked for one of these then you'd understand.

    I think that they could've made it as rare drop from something. Rare npc that have spawn time like TLPD, and only 5% chance on dropping Plagued and Black Proto Drakes. It should spawn in Orgrimmar and Stormwind AH of course.

    Sure I would. You're assuming I wasn't ever in a similar situation as you are. Perhaps not with the same items. Perhaps not even with some super-hard to obtain shiny (which the plagued drake and the arcanite ripper WERE NOT), perhaps not even in this game. But I have been, and I never cared. You assume too much.

    All I can really say is: you poor little thing, having to share your precious mount with people who put in less effort than you did YEARS ago. Do you cry about people who solo or 2-3 man their way to their meta-achievement/rare drop mount from previous expansions just because they aren't obtaining them in current content? I'm sure you do.

    Because the T7 10 man meta was MEGA HARD, amirite? I mean, it's not like a bunch of guilds cleared Naxx still wearing T6 or anything, right? You worked so hard, you poor baby.

    You act like suddenly, tomorrow, there are going to be 3495783985793874598357 people on your realm with a plagued proto, just like, flying circles around you. That's not going to happen. You can stop hyperventilating.

    Also the Arcanite Ripper was not an item you had to "work for"....it was a drop off a special event boss that was piss easy, as special even bosses tend to be, and if you were a lucky little girl like me you won the roll. I don't care if more people have the same axe I do, because it's super awesome no matter what.

    You should try getting your sense of accomplishment and self worth somewhere outside of a video game.

    this isn't really valid when you're talking about an MMO game. What's the point in doing anything in a MMO when you can just buy gold and purchase the rewards?

    not going to go any further than this but it sure seemed like you were bitching in the quote fizzbob quoted.

    i dont play WoW anymore and i still come to this site, while i dont piss and moan at everything blizzard does i still like to post in WoW related topics and give my opinion. its a forum, a public place to discuss topics ranging from WoW to tv/movies. so while someone, who doesnt even play WoW, complaining about something going on in WoW may seem stupid to you, it may very well not be the sole reason they are here at this site.

    when i visit this site i generally look at the recently active posts and just open ones that have interesting titles in multiple new windows. some are discussing WoW, others are discussing other things. to each their own!

    Very disappointed they bring back the plagued proto drake in such a way. Some things should stay unobtainable. I don't have it btw.

    So, ignoring all the special snowflake discussion,

    Is is my imagination, or are the blue tweets getting more and more redundant? I was trying to make out anything in all those tweets that was in any way new and not just another "we do listen, but it's us that makes the game" post rephrased slightly.

    I'd agree with you, if not for the fact that buying gold isn't really something endorsed by Blizzard, or a lot of us players for that matter. Buying gold is, for all intents and purposes, as bad as exploiting. Obtaining enough gold for these vanity items in a legit way will take enough effort to warrant the mount's availability as a gold sink. And even ignoring for a moment their cost, it's not like these mounts will be up on the BMAH 24/7, all the time, always available. You won't suddenly have a mob of players riding on plagued proto-drakes because of this. Just like you don't have mobs of players riding other rare drop mounts that are on the BMAH since it was released.

    Still, I'll give you my opinion. It really doesn't matter. Those "rewards" are outdated. VERY outdated. They should have never been removed in the first place (except perhaps the arcanite ripper, I'll give you that one, since it was a one-time thing like the tabard of the protector, and not a whole raid/dungeon reward by itself, that was available for months), just like every mount after those weren't removed (exception being the ToC mounts, sadly). Content - be it dungeons themselves or specific items from them - should never, in my opinion, be removed, for the sole reason that those people who think themselves "worthy" of having exclusive items that no one else can touch, will always have their own up-to-date rewards that no one else will be able to touch for at least an entire expansion.
    Every new tier, you get new status symbols that make you stand out from other people around you. Why then, shouldn't other players be able to more easily access older "prestige" rewards, when you're getting between two to three new ones every tier, that the vast majority of the population can't touch? How is that such a problem?
