Website Can Add Arena Grand Master trinket in store?

[Trapecista]

Im Icecrown Twink and I propose implementing it in the coin shop since there is a big disadvantage for us with those from Blackrock who can obtain it through brands making BGS and that it can be obtained by donating would be a very good option.

Items like this used to be on the coin shop if I remember correctly. Used to buy them for achievements. But some items like this were removed because they are quest rewards. I don't know the exact reason for that, but I assume something to do with the gameplay experience.

It is rough for level 19 twinks. If your level was slightly higher you can actually open the chests while under the effects of an invisibility potion. Nitro boost also works while invisible so if you're not a stealth class you can hide behind the pillars above then sprint for it invisible.

The Shadowmourne is a quest item and can also be purchased, so I guess that wouldn't be applicable to gameplay or influence the game experience, so I don't see any difference with adding the Gurubashi Arena Trinket.

We don't work on a "since you did X, you will do Y too" basis.

I agree, it's just a suggestion if it could be introduced in the store, thanks.

While the argument that SM is available on the store while the GM trinkets are not is valid, I would like to add that the price on SM is there for a reason, for those who want to skip the grind must pay a very high price.

However, in my opinion, there must be at least some items that are kept away from the store. Those items are the real pinnacle of hardcore grinding, those items are the ones that are still worth prestige on the servers. The GM trinkets are notoriously difficult to get because of all the PvP guilds with hundreds of achievement hunters longing for them, not to mention the twink characters for whom the trinkets are BiS. There are literal monthly schedules for players to get it, not to mention it takes a lot of effort to summon a reasonable PvP raid to protect you from the other faction, and of course the other faction is on the same mindset. It would be very sad if it got added to the store.

Items that are alike include some mounts like the Fiery Warhorse, having close to 0 drop chance, the raid reset on Karazhan is 1 week, so you can only try 52 times each year, which is very low considering the incredibly small drop rate. And when you see someone on that mount, you can be 100% sure they didn't just buy it from the shop, but went through the old and long grind (or got extremely lucky) to get it. I already have 150+ attempts and I will keep going in until I get it. I would be extremely devastated if it got added to the store, even for a high price, or if it got included in the special Christmas events as a rewards. I also don't like the Sea Turtle mount on the store, for an extremely low price might I add, compared to the effort it would take to get it the classic way. Of course you can spend weeks or months fishing for it, but when you show up on that mount 10/10 players will just assume you got it from the store.

Of course, for some unavailabe items like the classic 100% mounts or some Blizzcon pets, having them on the store and as event rewards are completely fine by me. I even wrote a suggestion that only unobtainable items should be given as event rewards, because giving mounts, like the Razzashi Raptor last year (which is not listed on the store) just ruins the joy of people who spent years grinding it out, while other could get it with just a few weeks of very intense PvP.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Warmane sells obtainable items/mounts/pets and gives them as event rewards, yet they gatekeep all of the unobtainable content for some unknown reason. It screws the player over 2x by making in-game accomplishments worthless, and preventing an entire stock of toy items from ever being obtainable. I would love a coherent and nonaggressive explanation from someone.

Agm is not the right item to be kept away from the store,item itself is worthless to 80s yet they are bis for lower brackets. Arena is monopolised by the 80s,multiple multiboxers there at once,probably selling carrys,so if we already need to pay,lets us buy it for coins straight away from the store.

Also theres so many feast of strenght achivement netting items in the store so its bad argument.

Make it not pop achivement if bought from store if thats the big idea behind gatekeeping it idk.

Players from blackrock can buy it for honor points,and we icecrown twinks are playing against them so.. we need alternative.

There is no place for talking about ruining the joy of ppl ho spent years ginding it out when you can litteraly buy full gear and be bis in no time.

I agree that this trinket needs to be added, since on the icecrown 1 guild has a monopoly on getting it and there is no other way to get it. I mean, you won't go 1 against 40 people, and paying a huge amount of gold for 1 trinket - even the entire server won't be enough. Monopoly is, of course, a cool thing, but the advantage of the entire economy and getting your own achievements. So yes, the link allows you to buy a trinket in the store, and let the monopolists continue to have fun inside their guild.
