wow Trading Post's Recurring Items: Second Chances for Missed Picks!

[Staff 941]

Blizzard today shared more information about recurring items in the Trading Post. You should feel comfortable passing on items that aren't your first picks in a given month, because they will return in the future.

Hello. Thank you for the feedback. As the Trading Post is still quite new, we’re taking in all the written feedback we can get. We’re also informed by the data we’re getting each month on which items players prefer, which activities they earn tender from, how early in the month they make their purchases, and many other points of information.

We do want to note that items will return and become available again in the future. You should feel comfortable passing on items that aren’t your first or second choice choice in a given month, knowing that you’ll see them again. We’re focused on making a system that has a long term impact.

We will continue to carefully examine the Trading Post, and discuss everything about it, and make changes when necessary. We don’t have anything along those lines to share at the moment.

Thank you.

of course these items will be coming back, but i would LIKE to assume not for at least a year or at very least 6 months, even if for some reason you assume there is only 6 months worth of items for the trading post, with how little amount of tokens they give you per a month, it will take you years to get everything and that's not counting on any new items they add and once again that's assuming they only have 6 months worth of unique items for TP (which i doubt it's probably more like a year) I think we can expect to see TP tokens making an appearance on the in-game store sooner rather than later.

dunno, i bought some items and still got 2,5k coins left. you also got the option (which i never ever had to use yet) to save 1 item. why need returning items? id like to see some improved shop, most of the transmog doesnt look good or doesnt fit my class / cant be equipted

I assume you had some of these mounts or pets before or just skipped them? I only bought mounts and pets from trading post and only got 200 tender remaining. It's good if these items are going to return eventually, because there is not much currency to buy anything else. There are several expensive transmog sets, so no way to buy them all.

What'd be nice is if you did miss some things they'd slide only a few of them into slots reserved for cycling in this fashion

It would also be nice if it was partnered with a thumbs down feature - no, trader, i do not like this item and will never waste your coins upon it.  

Blizz might even be able to take stats for the "saved to wishlist" and "blew off" markers to their art teams.

i bought the spectral one but skipping the serpent because i dont like the MoP content/transmog. im not into pets because when i wait in raid or for full m+ grp no one ever accepts a duel offer^^ only pet i sometimes use for rainbow effect is Flawless Amethyst Baubleworm. if they add pets with cool effects, i would consider getting them. maybe ill take egbob but then again i ask myself, why? i would look at it once or twice and then it will disappear in my collection.

i bought some transmog, mostly for my mage but also some that had a "rare" look for other classes im not yet playing (lvl 60 chars). transmog like the current ensemble for mage, priest, warlock doesnt fit my taste, it looks more like for a druide or maybe a warlock but not mage or priest like

but you are right, some, like the current fist weapon, i got in a better color from ZA raid for example.

if i hadnt spent coins just because i got so many left, i would have bought only 3 items yet i guess. still want to keep around 2k in case something nice shows up next month.
