Congratulation, after a week and a half your main is around the 700-710 range and you have 50 to 60 Infinite power points after doing normal + heroic + mythic raids every day (takes around 1h to 1h30)
now you make a new character , from level 1 to 80 you dont have any gain in term of power or gearing , only experience bonus which put you in a weird state by having an ilvl 100 weapon and 300 gear because of fast leveling
- you can"t do heroic world tier because everything kills you as fast as your main between 580 and 620 ilvl except if you play tank
- at level 80 you reach 450-460 ilvl so you cant do heroic world tier at all
- declined for all raids but thats not surprising, ppl ask for 600 for normal, 620 heroic and up to 640 for myth and i understand them, so i tried to make my group > nobody joined
- im stuck doing quests in normal mode AGAIN in all 5 regions for gearing , after that you are stuck in the normal/heroic/mythic raid loop AGAIN for a week
now repeat the process 1 time for each new character you want to make
game turn into a slog filled with bad dailies loop for alts .
give us a way to transfert caches to other character or simply buy gear with bronze or motes so i dont have to do 500 raids per character if i want to have fun
what did you feel when you tried to make alts ? was the processus similar to you or not?

fyi you can transfer bronze to you alts also lvl alts not that bad im on my 4th lvl 80 dont take long as people think yeah gearing up bad for doing hc but who really wants to do hc on like 100 alts anyway lol
Levling alts in Remix is only good for the achievements. Nothing more. Just imrpove your main Remix character and forget the rest.
unfortunately 4 achievements are tied to doing mythic helya without dying, right now you need one of the following :
be 640+ as dps to not die to helya
be 620+ as tank
wait at entrance and get carried by several 740 so they can kill the boss before you die
all are related to you getting gear in the first place to get accepted or making your own group for those achievements , no matter the phase the gearing process is the same → motes
I’m really glad I’m not an AV hunter and think the sets are so ugly I won’t even bother to get them on one char. I’ll wait with my alts for december and when we know more about the anounced “catch up mechanics” there, but else I’ll just use the Remix XP boost to get a DH to max lvl ready to be race changed into a VE for Devourer. Don’t see any other use for alts either. 
Ye its clown little bit but alt leveling is kinda ez, I made like 3 characters today from 10 to 80 :D. I have main which gains power, then alts for midnight for some WQ camp (ez gold)

Why do you bother with ilvl on alts anyway? Isn’t the point to just exp them on the remix? When they will be moved to Retail all of them will gain same crap i guess, like they did on Pandaria Remix.
you’re right my friend
however,
as mentioned above
there are 4 achievements to do deathless runs in trial valor for each armor type
getting into a raid won’t be a problem as i’ll form my own.
the issue is surviving the intermission phase at Helya
so the idea is to gear them up just enough for these achievements at least.
i might level up alts with some form of healing or immunity for that though
we’ll see
As long as you don’t get one shot I can queue as a healer and focus on keeping you topped, thats how I’ve helped several people (with really bad gear/vers) now get their set.

Infinite Power should be account wide 100%. The extra exp gains are not enough. It doesn’t matter if you can get an alt up in 8 hours if it takes a week to catch up in ilvl and IP.

Personally I ended up getting burnt out playing a druid and want to roll a warlock instead. Others might just enjoy the variety of playing different classes. And then there’s the deathless ToV Mythic achievement as well for all 4 different armor types.

Please fix the issue with Artifact Sand. I have 3 level 80 alts with artifact weapon ilvls that are 200-300 ilevels lower with almost every other slot having 584 gear.

You are right with the alt issue and being behind in gear compared to level, this needs a solution as well IP should be account wide imho.
I cannot agree with the Deathless ToV sets tho. Considering how hard it was to get them in Legion, I don’t mind a bit of work to gear 3 alts to 620-640 when getting them now literally for free. It is not such a huge requirement, let us be real…
They should just make the ilvl drops be account wide or atleast close to your mains.
So for example if your main is at 650 ilvl then your freshly dinged 80 alt will get drops at ilvl 620. So alt drops would be 30ilvls below your main thus making it a bit easier to catch up with alts.
Because gosh dangit i regret grinding my mage to 650 when my DH feels so much better but im 50ilvls behind

But I really love level for alts. I had 400% max exp boost.
Since ago I decided move low realm as I’m enough done with full/heavy realm.
I have much alts and hated lost them if I re-leveling take longer.
I bough a bit transfer characters from discounts for my main and small alts moved low realm.
Other alts deleted and re-do leveling faster same on my low realm.
It’s really smooth leveling with Legion Remix.
Just give the artifact power levels to alts. I don’t see the problem in it tbh.
