While I would personally love to have the mage tower artifact appearances brought back, as I wasn't able to get them during legion due to a variety of reasons not relevant to this comment, if given the choice I would much rather see new challenge-mode weapon or gear transmog as well as another round of class mounts. The mage tower appearances were really cool because they felt rewarding, and a lot of time went into designing them - a lot of people clearly want them. If they instead used spare dev resources to add a new round of class-exclusive mogs and maybe another class mount for each class, that would add more content to do for everyone, give people the same satisfaction the tower gave them, and the people who worked for the legion ones wouldn't feel cheated. I think a solution like that would benefit everyone.
it's not ok for people to get the appearances from the mage tower because of "prestige" but you can buy old sets in the black market?, elitist are dumb AF
I did all 36 mage towers, I killed myself and did all 36 because Blizzard stated they were going away, I would be very annoyed to see them return. Were most of them a complete joke in 7.3? yes, but some like frost mage, blood dk (It was the hardest tank for me the adds doing AoE sucked) I found hard even with gear and I as someone with zero healing experience, all the healing ones sucked, despite being a joke for anyone who main heals I bet. It also was no small feat to farm ap 36 times and gear 12 toons.
You could farm T3 in BC, it wasn't hard to get.
at least any of the bugs didn't won, disgusting...
i'm gonna be honest, as someone with fine motoring skill problems , i found demo lock one hard as hell. i can agree with the comments that it was meant as a challenge , but since playing the game is a challenge for me on more fronts then other people because of those problems , the MT's were less of a challenge and more of an impossibility for me. would i like another shot at them , offcourse , they are some of the best looking models out atm. do i also understand people who got them when they were current content want to keep them exclusive , sure. perhaps a compromise would be for 1 or 2 of the tints to become available for those who did not get them during current content , and the 2 or 3 others stay exclusive. that way those who did it during current content still have some exclusivity with them while others have a chance to get at least one or 2 of the tints and models.
I also put in the massive amount of time required to do all 36 mage towers, I would hate to see them return.Don't bring the old ones back, just make new ones with new prestige rewards. Missing out the first time should just make people want to try even more the second time, that is why I like time-limited cosmetics.
I wouldn't care if they did new recolors of the Mage Tower appearances like they did with the MoP Challenge sets, but no, they definitely shouldn't bring the original ones back, just like they shouldn't bring back the original MoP sets or the Warlords weapons. There's barely anything at all in this game that has any amount of prestige. When they say they're removing something months and months before they do it, it should stay that way.All that said, the reminder about those appearances is very much still relevant for those of us who earned them. You can still obtain all the recolors of the Mage Tower appearances on characters that obtained the form.
Let me guess, you really cared about getting it for the appearance and prestige, but you weren't good enough to clear the Mage Tower. So now you're mad you can't it anymore even with all the time you had in Legion, so now the case you make against people who say they shouldn't bring it back is "you just wanted it for the prestige and it legacy items shouldn't be legacy!11"You lost out. Deal with it. There are lots of things they aren't going to bring back and this is one of them since Artifacts are no longer in use.
I just wish they'd make the destruction warlock hidden appearance obtainable (it's not as far as I know - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...). Never did get it during Legion.
