A user over on the Blizzard forums brought up that legacy content farming could still use some love. The Blizzard employee that replied, Bornakk, did agree but admitted it’s a tough balance between allocating resources between current content and legacy content.
Thankfully, those who love to farm for old transmogs and mounts were thrown a bone as a consolation prize with a skip being added to the Siege of Orgrimmar raid. The skip will take you straight to The Inner Sanctum if you’ve defeated Garrosh Hellscream (The final boss in the raid) at least once before. As someone that has personally farmed this raid before for the shaman set, I couldn’t even imagine going for the plate shoulders or mount off Garrosh.
It’s good to see that legacy content isn’t forgotten about as there’s so many cool transmogs, pets, mounts, and more available in older content with the majority being soloable. For the full reasoning check out the blue post below!
The development team spends the majority of their time on the latest content which includes both brand new things and iterating on the latest additions to the game. That said, legacy content is something we cherish and do try to make some focused improvements on it when possible. In this week’s PTR update, a new update is available for testing:
- Players that have defeated Garrosh Hellscream in Siege of Orgrimmar may now skip directly to The Inner Sanctum on all characters on the account by reading the scroll hanging on the wall near Loremaster Cho at the entrance.
- Developers’ note: Siege of Orgrimmar is a long, linear raid with a rare mount and plate shoulders held covetously by Garrosh Hellscream, its final boss encounter. We hope that the shortcut implemented here will allow players who’ve experienced this part of the story before to skip directly to the final showdown for a chance at earning those unique collectibles.
Hopefully this helps a bit and thanks for the feedback on this content.
