Comment by Extortbut no mage tower guys, cause god forbid you didnt play until shadowlandsComment by ExtortSo we can bring back AOTC mounts, but not mage tower druid forms? Makes sense.They didn't bring back the challenge mode items from the MoP remix, so why would they do it with the mage tower? Lmao, get over it already and stop whining.Bring it all back. I dont care if someone has the same xmog that I do or the same mount that I do. I care that more of the current people are happy playing a game and want to stick around so I can continue to enjoy it as well. Not some random that sweated 10 years ago and most dont even pay subs any more. No reason to gatekeep items that are a decade or more old just because a few people dont want others to look like them. It's been years. Guarantee most dont even use the mounts or wear the xmog anymore if they still play.Comment by ExtortThere really is no reason to put removed stuff back in the game.

These items were removed to be a trophy for those who played at those given times. A token of the games history and being part of it. Especially pre-patch stuff.

A turn in the wrong direction Blizz.Comment by Extortbut no mage tower guys, cause god forbid you didnt play until shadowlandsComment by TobiasAmaranthRIP my remaining 200+ Pocket Fel Spreaders. I've been drip-feeding them into the economy since the early days. Made so much gold off of it, despite being on a relatively tiny server block. Guess I'll try to dump them for cheap and maybe someone buys them up.Comment by PharunedCan't wait for all the prestige pauls to explain how bringing all of those items is good but bringing mage tower back would be killing wow.Comment by FlynCan't wait for all the prestige pauls to explain how bringing all of those items is good but bringing mage tower back would be killing wow.alreadySo we can bring back AOTC mounts, but not mage tower druid forms?

It's beyond the pale. There's no "prestige" in bringing one actual challenge back, but not the "challenge" that could be outgeared.Comment by ProblemtcBlenderDoes no one remember when Blizzard nearly put the Kokron mount on the trading post one month. and the only reason why they didn't was because the backlash was insane after they declared things like Corrupted Ashbringer was "too prestigious" to be on there? And when they had to make their blue post apologizing, they said "we won't do it this time around."

If Blizzard was consistent, people wouldn't be up in arms over this constantly. Say what's sacred, say what isn't, give us guidelines. Say "AOTCs and legendary items are a no-go" and stick to it, and no one would complain.

Personally, I'm looking forward to getting my Mage Tower appearances on the trading post in three to six years, because we all know that's where they're heading.Comment by puresmokeybut no mage tower guys, cause god forbid you didnt play until shadowlandsComment by KodokuTenshiBut the challenge mode sets from Mists didn't come backComment by RakdusSo Kor'kron War Wolf was completly out of the question but Violet Spellwing gets a pass, even thogh its also a reward from the same type of archievement, just because people don't care about that mount as much?

This just goes to show that its not about being prestigeous, its about them tracking what people like or not. If no one gave a damn about mage tower appearances, they would be available.Comment by ZelGBring back Mage Tower. I have earned most of rewards from MT. I'm missing few classes like warrior, hunter, mage. I don't care about prestige of weapon appearances. I just want a challenging fight like ? in Delves. You can add different color for those skins. For example feral druid can be a yellow sparkly kitty. Warrior can get pink swords for fury. Priest can get black dagger for shadow spec. There is no reason not to bring MT back if demand is there. All you have to do is add different color and make it challenging at the beginning and less challenging at the end, when we get all the powers.Comment by HoundHammerSo we can bring back AOTC mounts, but not mage tower druid forms?

I'm going to ask for Classless versions of Artifact Weapon Skins. You knew what you were asking for when you showed that Teaser for Player Housing: with a Warrior wearing the 20th Anniversary Set and carrying the updated Thunderfury Artifact appearance for Outlaw Rogues!Comment by SeahnjinAdd another voice for Mage Tower even though I got the ones I wanted the most like the cat form, because I know it makes some special people in this comment section really upset and I want to upset them.

Your crying about “they didnt bring back Challenge Mode in MoP remix!” is invalid, by the way: they brought back a recolor of the mount. Therefore a recolor of MT shouldn’t be out of question.

“you will earn Violet Spellwing and the Mythic Chosen set by doing the achievements, but Mage Tower can’t be balanced around Remix!” literally what? Everyone knows we will all be facerolling every Mythic raid by the end of Remix. It won’t be balanced. It’s the point of Remix, even: becoming overpowered and facerolling stuff. What kind of argument even is this?

“Violet Spellwing TOTALLY ISNT like the AotC Kor’kron wolf because you see it’s a quest not an achievement and that makes it very, very different” Bro what the hell is this sheer level of pedantry oh my god they are both mounts you got for clearing the non-faceroll version of the final raid boss of the expansion while it was current… they’re the same picture you nerd.Comment by Hawkknight97Perfectly Balanced. Just as the way it should be.Comment by Eltarn1: Blizzard told you "No Mage Tower" months ago. Your complaints have been duly noted, you will be boycotting the mode, which means nothing if you don't boycott the game as a whole, cause it impacts nothing, there are not enough of you to even be a drop in the bucket of players who will play. The rest of us are sick of hearing it. Stop spamming fansites about it, and go spam the official foru- oh, they already blocked your ability to do so, didn't they? That should tell you all you need.

2: "Why didn't they bring back AotC MoP Mount" - There was a distinct difference: One was an Achievement Reward directly (AotC: Garrosh and the Kor'kron War Wolf), one was a quest item drop from the requisite kill (AotC: Argus and the Violet Spellwing). Yes, it is "technically" the AotC Mount, but it is NOT rewarded from the Achievement, but a separate quest item drop from the kill. That technicality is what matters here. And before you get uppity: From BfA forward, the AotC has been locked to beating it before pre-patch, while the mount quest drop is available until launch reset (see: Uncorrupted Voidwing and forward), further disconnecting the mount and the achievement.

3: Getting what is required for the Mythic Chosen sets and likely the Violet Spellwing, will require doing their content requirement (ie: As mentioned here, clearing Helya, on Mythic, without dying) to unlock the ability to purchase. They cannot add back the Mage Tower, in any remotely meaningful and balanced way, to award the appearances. Look at Retail Mage Tower as a perfect example of how they cannot make it remotely the same in terms of challenge. And that would be the version they would use, because we are still Retail-balanced characters in Remix, not 7.3 Legion-balanced characters.

4: Everyone complaining about Mage Tower, but nobody willing to fight for not being able to earn PvP Seasonal armor sets or PvP Artifact Skins? Come on, if you are gonna fight about it, fight for ALL of it. (But really, don't. Blizzard is not changing the rewards available now, it launches in a month).

This comes from someone who got 2 Mage Towers done, Retribution and Protection Paladin, as well as Violet Spellwing earned via streamer PuG lottery, and even got the PvP skin unlock done via Order Hall World Quest completion options, without PvPing. I don't care that the mount IS available, for the very reasons listed above. I don't care that the other Mage Tower appearances are NOT available, just like I didn't care that the MoP CM sets weren't. I don't care that the PvP stuff is not available. Some restrictions are fine. Your opinion on what you think should be allowed is subjective. Blizzard made an objective stance on the Mage Tower appearances YEARS ago with the Retail one we have now, and are sticking to it. If you don't like it, quit the game because of it, or be quiet about it. It is no different than not rewarding Seasonal PvP sets again. You just choose what you wanna cry about.Comment by EltarnSo we can bring back AOTC mounts, but not mage tower druid forms?
