Thanks. I will.
I hope you enjoy how you play and I enjoy how I play.

I said nobody is keeping 138 characters up-to-date, do you have 138 characters at level 120 with at least entry-level gear (or higher)? If not, then quit trying to make the comment not aimed at you, about you, in some weird attempt to derail my point.
I also said “I don’t see the harm in the suggestion” indicating i’m not opposed to it, only that I can see why it isn’t being raised to levels being suggested here where people are suggesting they should be able to make one class of each race for example, or keep characters around “for nostalgia’s sake”. If blizzard add more allied races i’m totally happy for them to raise the cap a bit more.
I understand people wanting to “do what they will, with their time” and I never actually said they shouldn’t be able to. They can do that, they just need to pay for additional accounts at current if their preferred playstyle is to level over 50 characters and play them regularly. If they aren’t doing that, it’s not worth the extra money- so if they’re paying for it and not playing all 51+ chars on the regular, then it’s simply a case of be smarter with your money and don’t pay for things you don’t use.

and you have the option to pay for my extra account how generous of you …ow you dont wana do that ? because if you do you get maximum enjoyment of not having to reply to me?
still you haven’t given me a single reason of why you care so much if they would raise the cap as only thing you doing is give half bakes “solutions”
again what is your reason to be so against it?
a running away from the debate good call…

I’m just waiting for blizzard to add “Buy 10 new character slots for 25€” to the store. Then everyone will be happy and the game will be complete.

i think that is a perfect middle ground i like that idea then they wont lock people out who want there account expanded but still have a pay barrier up for it + making money
At the moment, the amount of possible race-class combinations that are possible is 200 ( 100 for each faction) , and if blizz decides to add more races in the future we will have even more. I do not think that anyone would be asking for this much, but at least giving us 100 slots in total is totally unreasonable. A lot of people have characters whom they would not want to delete due to nostalgia or them having items which are rare etc. , and I do not see why people should delete those charactes just because others say so. Some people use alts to farm mounts, for profesions, roleplay, to try out new specs without cluttering their bags with multiple items for each different spec , twinks, characters made especially only for pvp, mythic + or raiding etc. or even to play on multiple servers. There are many reasons why people love to play around and try new things. What is unreasonable is for blizz to force us to buy a second account and pay double the amount of money for two subs for two when they could increase a bit the limit. It’s not like everybody will use it, after all so it would not affect as many people. In fact, it won’t hurt anyone else whom does not play more than 1 character or just a few. Also, just because you do not actively play a character to get cutting edge, high mythic + or whatever content you do it does not mean you are not allowed to keep the toon. I am tired of hearing people telling me how to play my game and how to manage my characters. Whatever I do in my free time in wow is my business. And unless you pay for my sub, you have no right to say anything about wether I should actively play all the toons I want to level. Greed is never good anyway. And not many people pay as much for a second account to make it such a waste if we get a raise in the characters. Blizz makes more money from multiboxers monthly than from altholics anyway. I can bet all my gold and money on it.

I agree. They should rise the cap at least with 10. I would also be ready to buy those extra slots from in game store, if they would be reasonably priced (say 10 for 15 euro).
Also the people who are so eager to tell others how many character slots they “need”: it is personal preference and 50 slots get fastly full when being alt player. It is not so easy to start deleting characters when your roster has been built from 2005 and has characters that you love and all have their own history. Some being spread around different servers, being guildmasters (deleting would delete guild and lose bank &item etc.).
I don’t want to pay sub fees for second account (already got one) when i am not planning to multibox but just to play one character at the time. But like i said, i would pay for it as one time purchase from in game store, if the price is right.

rp use and like to play as different char and races wile leveling them all up pretending there the band of adventurers that is saving Azeroth.
and for the collection of having all possible races and gender as a bit of a personal achievement ( same as some people like to go for high end raiding or pvping or why some people like to collect cars or paintings
wanting to get the most out of the game from my perspective and since old raid are later soloble with each new expansion feels for me as i can complete the game and things like mounts you can only get in a limited time frame i dont count

Yes, I really think the 50-cap is old, and I’m really annoyed by people like that one earlier on this thread who doesn’t have any use for a cap since he doesn’t have a lot of chars, BUT somehow doesn’t want blizzard to increase it for those who need it, when he loses nothing because of that.
I have 89 maxed characters, gonna be 91 in a few days, and I’m still deciding what realms to level the other 4 (the other slots are busy for money related reasons), so I’m actually possibly deleting 4 chars around 70-75 cause I want to occupy as many realms as possible, all if I can, so if I get them to 120 and then blizzard connects that realm to one I have already I’m ruined.
Now I play them all pretty regularly cause of the gold emissaries, doing them on a lot of chars is very efficient unless you’re a booster, obviously they don’t need to be particularly geared, many of my alts only have around 200-250k hp with 400-420 item level, it’s only a handful that are higher and go up all the way to 472, this doesn’t mean I intend to delete a 400 item level alt that has been around since 2016, or maybe even 2012-2013 if it’s part of the first batch of chars I levelled.
You don’t need to raid hardcore on a character to not want to delete it, you may have other uses, mount farming and the likes, not to mention if you like levelling, like me, try to imagine how little time levelling 100 characters to max takes away of a 9 years span, very little, and once levelled I’m not deleting them.
Personally even just a +10 slots increase per acc, so 60 instead of 50 would go a long way for me since I have 2 accs, I also agree with the paying a reasonable ONE-time cost to unlock more slots, cause I can’t stand this cap any more and I’m not getting a 3rd acc.
However for the long term I doubt a +10 cuts it, this 50-char cap is 16 years old now, no joke, it’s from 2004, we are in 2020 now and I doubt 100 would be asking too much.
Having said this I believe I heard the 50-cap is actually a database limitation, so not sure if it’d be technically possible to increase.

it might just be something to do with there being much more important things to be focused on, like making sure the main system of an entire expansion functions correctly and doesnt make the game worse to play
What’s the point of having 400 mounts, 1000 pets, 1million transmogs?

i agree that ofcourse the main focus should be that the main content is working correctly before anything els.
but how much effort would it taking to change the allowed number of slots from 50 to 60? as i belief its really nothing more then just a number change in the cap list and like some even mention here they even can put a price tag on
and i belief this is done by fewer people then those then those who are in charge of the world content

Most people here are against it if it’s something they personally don’t want or care about, while it makes somebody else happy.

Well this can be looked other way too: someone might stay subbed longer on their only account if they got slots to roll more alts on. That is also money that would not be gained if someone unsubs. Also having those slots in in game store would bring income. Many of us who want more slots are not willing to pay another sub just to have more slots, when still playing one character at the time (not multiboxing). So this money from “extra subs” is not something they automatically gain with current system but on the other hand there would be more opportunies to earn extra by adding those slots.

get urself a wow2 account u get addunal 50 slots
Upping the cap is something that has literally no downsides.
People who won’t get close to the cap won’t care about it, so it’s plus / minus 0 for them. People who are close to the cap / are capped would love it, so it’s a huge plus for them.
Somehow people still argue against raising that cap, I don’t get it.
Just make it a 25€ shop thing to get 50 more slots, once per account or something like that, since Blizzard wouldn’t want to miss out on that sweet sweet extra cash. Everybody wins, right?
