Grinding out balance of power on every class as we speak. Has to be said going through the same grind over and over is certainly tedious though. I really realllllly wish that they'd at least make the Unleashed monstrosities and M+15 tints accountwide
What to do before shadowlands?-Do legion content-
Just let us do MT again! You broke your promise, it's time to fix it Blizzard!
Well you can still get these non mage tower appearances, in shadowlands. Its not going away not going to be any harder either. In fact besides queing dungeons (maybe just for heroic), it might just be easier in shadowlands because maybe you can que while you level from the opening zone until whatever it is, if you choose legion to level in.
I will never understand why some people think "I was playing at the time" means that no one else should ever have access to particular content. By that logic they should remove all of the appearances from the artifacts. You get the base one and the upgraded one (i.e., the class hall-related ones) and that's it. No Balance of Power, no PvP, no secrets. I doubt anyone would support that...If they were to find a way to bring back the Mage Tower scenarios in a way that scaled up their difficulty so that it would be on par with what it was at the time, then I say hell yes. It's the difficulty of the solo content that gives it prestige, not the mere fact that someone happened to be playing in 2018. Besides, suppose someone playing back then got the MT appearances on a main at the time, but has since switched mains? Is there any real reason to say "congrats on getting it then, too bad about that new character you've been running on high-level content in BfA though?" No one's saying it shouldn't be solo content, no one's saying it should be left at legion level so you can go in and poke the boss to death in two seconds. We just want the opportunity, maybe for an alt we didn't have leveled up at the time. I got my MT appearance on my main spec at the time. It was crazy hard (not least because it was less about playing my rotation well than it was about interrupting a nuke and dodging stuff). Would I begrudge someone the chance to do that now, if it was kept challenging? Not even a little bit.
