I decided not to do the feral mage tower because I didn't play feral, and there was no way for me to use the appearances otherwise. I can't believe we're even entertaining this preposterous notion that players were making an informed choice at the time. It was also firmly established that we couldn't use the appearances without the artifact weapon equipped AND without being in feral spec. I've been playing as a resto druid for over a decade, and I'm absolutely gutted by this. This is a game very much centered around collections: Transmogs, Mounts, Toys, Pets, etc, and to prevent people from collecting those things simply because they didn't happen to be playing at the correct time in the game's life span is absolutely fucking stupid. Any person who has these appearances and agrees they deserve to remain exclusive and no longer obtainable is selfish, plain and simple. There are many people who play this game now who weren't playing during legion, they didn't have a chance to obtain these appearances and there is no justifiable argument that they shouldn't have a way to earn them now. As someone who worked my ass off to obtain the Legion Bear and Cat forms before they were taken away, my achievement would not be diminished in any way shape or form if they were reintroduced at this point. Reintroducing those same appearances now would diminish those players’ accomplishment, so success in a Mage Tower challenge will now award a Legion-themed armor set for your class. Many players pushed themselves to collect all the appearances they could before the tower closed. When the Mage Tower closed at the end of Legion, it was firmly established that those rewards would become unavailable. The Timewalking Mage Tower Challenges may be the same as those that players experienced in Legion, but the rewards will be different. You couldnt be more transparent if you were made of glass. I think the greatest irony is that these same people would cry out if they made Invincible or other similarly obtained mounts retired permanently except for those who already have them, even though they've had, what, the better part of a decade to farm these? Get over yourselves. I'm going to go out on a limb and make the assumption that those who influenced the decision are suffering from an elitist mentality that some players currently have on display over this.
that theres no way in hell many of them would have gotten when it was current content. The desire to not "diminish the achievements of some" just doesnt hold water when people are able to go back to raids and farm mythic sets, titles, mounts etc.
It's just bad business on Blizzard's end. Then, on the other hand, the people that missed out get to drool over them on Wowhead, but it's impossible to obtain them now, so the drool is wasted because it isnt translating into subscriptions. The people that have them already have them, so they're not even thinking about the appearances. I dont understand the logic behind keeping the artifact appearances forever retired.
