Who says it should be impossible to catch up . My point is to put in the same effort as it was originally needed .
If in patch 0 you need 300 hours to reach cap , in patch 4 you need 300 hours to reach cap . You just remove time gating ( which honestly should not exist at all )
Your logic is … interesting .
It is like saying :
Yea I studied for 10 years in university , than because of that I had a job for 10 years .
Whatever now you can buy the same diploma for 1 month and get the same salary worth of 10 years working , because you know , you already had your 10 years worth of work , so who cares .
It is not about the profit . It is about the effort .
You put in the effort , you get rewards . You do not put in the effort , you don’t’ get rewards .
This whole thread is about the effort you need to put into this profession system , where sometimes you need to put the same effort twice , to get nothing , or use the addons to track things , instead of it being streamlined into the system normally .
It is not about A is making profit and B is making more profit and X being b**hurt , because A and B are on the same level .
It is about how to make the system more streamlined and straightforward , without any useless hops and loops .
Oh Yea in FF14 you can have every class and profession on the same character . That sounds so great …
Not .
You spent hundreds of hours leveling all classes and professions and than you are gonna switch to a different race .
yea right .
You are stuck on the same race forever , unless you use that magic potion or whatever it is called.
Too bad that the magic potion only comes once and after that you need to fork $$$ . I guess blizz would love that . I guess people who pay for character boosts and buy gold on the ah would love that too .
On the other side in FF14 you do not have these millions of knowledge points that are time gated behind months of playing , so (unless once again i am missing something) leveling a profession is much more straightforward ( akin to how professions used to work pre DF .
WoW is not FF14 . Stop trying to turn it into one . There’s FF14 and there’s WoW . They are different and this is good , because you get a choice what to play .
So at the end of the day what you both are saying . Yeaaaa we want access to everything on the same character . We just want to pay $$$ every time we want to play an orc instead of an elf , because no one in their right mind would level 11 professions to max a second time and let alone a third . Great logic . Account wide professions is the same , you just do not need to fork $$$ to blizzard for the right to play a different race AND keep your progression .
Indeed . You can do it . Everyone can do it . And once that happens no one will bother doing it , because there is no profit in it . The market will regulate itself . Prices will drop and there will be no longer chance to “exploit” anyone with stupid prices , because “reasons” .
Also what stopped you from doing the same in previous expansions . You just leveled your skill to the right level and that is that . If you read the first post you might have noticed I said that you still should level up the skill . Just not the knowledge points (Which did NOT exist pre DF) . You are basically returning to pre DF state , with the added benefit of not having to relearn every single design you had learned before .
It is that simple .
