Alts/Mount farming in BFA

Judge nope; but I can comment on their ‘unrealistic wants’ if the game doesn’t provide those. I want to solo raids when they’re current content, but you don’t see me making a thread about it.
And imo; expecting all your alts to be on par with a main character is unrealistic (not to mention unfair towards all the players who focus on 1 character).

Well I’ve got two 120 characters ilvl on this is 410 on the other is 385 so not far off to catch up neck is 65 on this 42 (I think) on the other so I could catch up in a few days and have both at same.

I have two at 110 that I could easily get to 120 and again gear up to 410 and sort the neck out with a bit of time and effort on my part.

As long as I’m willing to put in the effort why is it unfair?

And why can’t you ask for soloable raids? Doing dungeons with npcs would be great for me actually I could finish my professions off, finish allied race unlocks and not be a burden to anyone :smiley: great idea tbh

And that’s fine. That’s not on par. That’s; just viable.
IMO of course.

Because people like the OP seem to want this effort to be nerfed to nothingness.
Then it’s no longer effort. Then it’s free maximized alts.
And again; imo that is unrealistic.

Glad to hear that!
But honestly; I’d dread the toxicity anyone making a thread with such a request would receive from part of the posters here. :sweat:

I’m not saying it should be nerfed into nothingness at all…

Just curious, how many hours you play daily/weekly? :smiley:

Im kinda envy for all of those alts and money it comes with, but then again, i dont have much time and im lazy so i wouldnt even play them… Hell i was annoyed when i had to do winter veil quests outside my main :smiley:

I just want to be able to use the 37 alts I worked hard for to get to 120 to farm mounts, and actually be able to kill them all in one day instead of missing 25 or 30 attempts cause of the unfixed respawn timers.
Warfronts and Argus was never a problem cause they had instant respawns. Sure the once every 3 weeks thing with Warfronts was kinda stupid but alright fair enough atleast it had an okay droprate. That’s fine. Argus was daily and had a bit lower droprate, and I really wouldn’t have minded if those were 1/200 instead of 1/50. It’s not annoying to farm and I can kill it with all my alts.
Then theres Arachnoid with an unfixed 30-90 min respawn timer and a 1/500 drop chance, or Soundless with an 4-8 hour respawn timer, and a 1/200 chance. Those are annoying to farm, I can’t get more than 10 kills a day with my playtimes (and thats only cause im in a discord with 250 members that announce when Soundless and Arachnoid is up). That’s just not fun anymore. They should either keep the droprates but make it instant respawn or keep the long respawn and make it a 1/50 or such. Make it reasonable.

I think you find the poster in this thread wouldnt be agaisnt extra content please dont assume things your better than that .

I think they meant on the forums in general not in this particular thread :kissing_heart:

Although, when I suggested that professions could be done in dungeons via a scenario with npcs in the what we don’t want in shadowlands thread, no one shouted me down or said it was a stupid idea so :woman_shrugging:

Hating yourself isn’t healthy though

WTB Nazjatar / Mechagon skips (Just like the broken shore).

I dont care that i am missing out on some gear, just make it happen blizz.

I will gladly do the Nazjatar world quest once the 2k gold quest are up, but, the work it will take to get a army of alts tho that is just a killer for me.

I have never tracked how much time I spend on WoW. But a lot of those were already level 100 or 110 so I could do 2-3 in an evening. The two I had to do from level 60 took me a lot longer.

Now i know the pain blizzard is going, people literally want the game a bit easier because having alts and repeat the whole process is a pain, but new players like me came to the game and found the game way too easy for no reason at all, to the point that i found the game experience completely broken. I was levelling way too fast for the content, I had way too much pressure to keep moving on through the story even tho i didn’t finish the one i was in, gear always felt meaningless.
This all thing about having alts puts pressure in the game to be easier over time, from my levelling experience i can tell that was work made over time and not just one time decision that lead to that state of the game.

I am not a mount collectorbut i do like to play my alts (and i got plenty) and i absolutely HATE having to do Nazjatar start and HM for neck on them and then go trough Mechagon starting questline over and over again. I would just want to ding those characters to 120 and then start to play with them, doing open world stuff, world quests, which ever i feel like doing that today. But to go through that opening ceremony with every single alt has made me to log out and play other games instead. For me worst part is that railroaded feeling, endless chain on things you have to do on every character on same order over and over again to be able to just play. I just want to be free and play.

No some people just want to have 10mains and swap between them as they wish. I have bad news for you. Mmos are not that kind of games.

Yes farm warftont mounts was easy and thats also why nobady uses them becouse every average Joe have most of them which decresed its value. Whats the point to have more mounts to be like this? Exclusivity is exactly what wow surely needs these days so No.

Yes they are and you are lying saying otherwise and were is your magic rule book ?

There not easy at all unless pet class in decent gear and they are bad drop rate and NOTHING to do with this thread which is about NAJZ and MECH please read the thread before trolling .

Levelling has needed a rework for a long time tbh, for new players it’s too quick because it’s been speeded up and for old players it too slow because we’ve been there done that and erg 1-120 again.

Once an expansion is finished a lot of content is removed or becomes pointless too so when you come into the game a year or two afterwards you’ve missed out on a lot too so your kind of left with a very basic structure whilst the latest expansion is where everything and everyone is.

I suggest (if you haven’t already) giving classic a go for a better levelling experience, it’s how it was when WoW first released.

Hopefully the level squish and new levelling system in 9.0 will be what everyone hopes for and make the experience better for everyone.

Its you who need to read. He is literaly talking about his made up issue of farming mounts. There is a book for it. Reason why mmos force player to play 1 char is to create player identity, immersion and sense of the world which are all important parts of any good mmo game.

There are people, who have killed some bosses over 3000 times for their rewards, and some have killed 1-2 times and get it. This is nature of lure and bait mechanic in MMO’s. Imagine how dull it would be to get rewards immediately with 1 try. There are such rewards too, and some others are lesser.

There’s reason why Blizzi did ‘im stubborn and persistent’ versions of some mounts and ‘rng’ editions of same mounts.

It is not better at its core - its just a slower grind. Person, who hates ‘doing same task’ over and over on alts, would find classic very tedious and boring. As classic leveling on essence is just running simulator.
