Challenges: Artisan - Return the award!

My character is a jeweler. When I created him, I immediately took on the Artisan challenge because it offered a reward: a mobile forge. It’s incredibly convenient to be able to craft your items right where you are, without having to run around.
The challenge is difficult; it requires not only leveling up the profession but also actively trading on the auction house to afford the necessary crafting reagents. And then I find out that the Octo team has removed the rewards for this tough challenge. That is NOT FAIR! Bring back the Artisan rewards!
You already have the mobile forge in the store, so adding it as a reward shouldn't be a problem. Why be so greedy and deprive players of a well-earned reward for a difficult challenge? A title alone just isn't enough!

I want to second this message.
I had high hopes for receiving a personal forge for this challenge.
I was very sad to learn that the additional rewards have been removed, and the title alone doesn't provide enough satisfaction from completing this challenge.
There are many titles in the game. I think this challenge will eventually fade into history and will no longer be used by skilled players.
The difficulty of this challenge doesn't warrant a worthy reward. Please restore the previous rewards. Thanks!

I completely agree with the topicstarter, the removal of the reward for completing the challenge is unfair and unjustified. Any challenge must be rewarded, otherwise the challenge loses its meaning.
TurtleWoW team understood what the players really needed, how to interest them and, if successful, reward them. It is necessary to return a worthy achievement award and give the award to those who deserve it.
I appeal to the OctoWoW team, the players believed in you as much as they believed in the TurtleWoW team, and hope that you will continue the same course of development and support of the project.

Are you guys sure the reward is removed?
If yes, then I am confused.
The reward is not even THAT useful. Why take it away from a challengene that makes leveling significantly tougher? In my eyes, everyone on that challenge should get the portable forge. Else that challenge is just useless, and honestly, a little bit misleading for the former twow players. They know the challenge with that exact name as the challenge that gives the forge.

This is so messed up. We do these challenges for rewards. I have like 2 weeks invested into my character leveling. We don't have enough in game rewards.

To be honest, I am surprised that such a difficult challenge is not rewarded. After all, the title does not compensate for all the suffering that the player who completed the challenge went through. I sincerely hope that this is not a deliberate decision to withhold the reward, but rather a simple mistake that will be corrected in the near future.

I took on this challenge as well.
I was so disappointed when I didn't receive my reward after completing it. Did I say I was upset? No, I was very upset. I felt like I had been CHEATED! It was a really unpleasant gaming experience. If the Octo team decides to rectify this misunderstanding, all the players who completed this tough challenge will be grateful. For now, though, there is only the bitter taste of disappointment from being misled.

Players choose this challenge for the portable forge or well, as was the case before. Leveling up for the sake of a title is nonsense. Please bring back the rewards for this challenge.

I support this suggestion.
I think it's reasonable to either restore the reward for that challenge or provide an equivalent reward.
The portable anvil is mainly a quality-of-life item and doesn't provide a competitive advantage. Since it's already available in the store, giving it as an achievement reward to players completing a hard challenge wouldn't hurt the game. Instead, it would make this profession challenge feel more meaningful and encourage more players to attempt it. And given the fact that the challenge had the same name and description as in TWoW, I understand the huge disappointment of the players who started it and now learn there is no reward at all. (I do not count the title as a reward, personally)

Agree with all posts but i think it would be better to write this in "General"(I did a post there and got response from devs on another topic).
Not many devs and i think for now they kind of ignore this section.
Makes no sense to not give this reward that is in money shop, Octowow is supposed to be better than Turtlewow. Seems like a very greedy move unless it's just a mistake.
