Vanity Item Suggestion

#1 » Post by xlii » 05 Jun 2017 21:17

Hello!

Now that TBC is launching and you've enabled transmog, how about giving us some stuff in the shop to transmog? For example, back in the day on retail I actually farmed the entire 8-piece Wildheart T0 set. I'd love to do that these days, but it's just not feasible due to the time commitment. Once TBC releases, they'll be almost worthless anyway. Ipso facto, vanity items! Maybe go the route retail went with Darkmoon Faire replica sets - nuke the stats so people can't complain about p2w. Anyway, I think this would be a fun addition to the shop - I'd certainly spring for at least two sets for my toons.

Thanks!

We have a history of not adding gear to the Vote Shop. I do not recommend adding these sets. -1 for me

Define gear versus vanity item. If the issue is the fact that the dungeon set one has stats, then what about if you implement the Darkmoon Faire option? Again I only see these this vanity items. They don't help a player win any more than buying a mount from the shop.

Yes but are you seriously saying that that's a viable option to assemble all eight pieces? Given the fact TBC is coming out and very few people will be running those? I say again with the TBC release they will essentially be vanity items.

Yes mr Xlii, it is very easy to assemble all pieces! It's done within 8 hours and if you have gold as I have, you can finish d2 quest in 10 hours too.

So, either you're clueless, or you think I'm talking about TrueWow - I'm talking about Primal. Either way, bragging about gold "as you have" is silly, childish, and sad.

The drop rates for these pieces is TINY. It's 11% on the chest, 15% on the shoulders, single digits on the cowl, etc. Some people have done 50 runs without getting the cowl. If you go with the best case scenario, 13% across them all, 37 or so instance runs of Scholo, UBRS, Strath, etc. all of which will still require a group in TBC, each of which takes half an hour or so. So, you're going to spend ~18 running instances for what is, in effect, a vanity set. Good luck with that.

At any rate, this is silly. I got the suggestion out there, like it or don't, the quality of responses is lacking enough that I won't bother moving forward.

Good grief, I didn't want them that badly. I just thought it'd be a worthy addition to the store's vanity items since there's really not much there.

But they're farm-able in the game so I don't see the point.

Well if you search the forums history suggestions have been made like this in the past and have been declined because the items are still obtainable in-game.

Rejected, due to obvious reasons.
