We won’t get account-wide essences or an account-wide neck but now that BFA won’t get any new patches, we will eventually reach lvl cap on our HOA. Azerite rewards will become useless and some objectives will be obsolete. This means less time played and a lot of people will probably unsubscribe until shadowlands comes along (although that might as well be for lack of content updates).
What if excess azerite turns into an account-wide item that can be sent to alts. That would make catching up at the end of the expansion more easier and give us a reason to play our maxed out characters.
Edit: I would also be happy about an alternative reward that replaces azerite if your HOA is maxed out. Gold, Coalescing visions, titan residuum, etc.

Yes please. Heck they can start giving me gold instead of azerite already if they like.

As of right now it’s not clear if there is a lvl cap on the neck.
It probably goes forever but if there is a cap it’s something that is either so far away that no one will ever reach it or if you can reach it only people who farm islands for months 10 hours per day will reach it.
It could also be a lot closer but so far we’re not sure if there actually is a cap.
azerite isnt limited, we’ll be able to level it until infinity :)))) each level is WHOLE 2 STATS!!!
same for cloak, after 15 we get more corruption ressistance :)))))
have fun in 8.3

in previous patches, the hoa had a lvl cap though and I doubt it will be an actual infinite grind.
That’s why I said it’s not clear if there is a cap or not, since no one has reached it yet.
There was a cap for the arifacts in Legion as well but that got changed later so ap always had some value and you could basically farm it infinitely.

No cap but the only reward you get for each level is a higher ilvl (+3ilvl / lvl iirc) which is pretty much irrelevant at this point.
The previous “azerite =>gold” transition they implemented for 8.2 generated so much gold tho…
You could easily get a token worth of gold every month if you had a few alts with capped neck, it’s crazy. One guy on the woweconomy Reddit pushed it a bit and earned 1.1M gold in two months along with the usual emissaries & paragon boxes u_U
I dunno if that’s a bad thing tho. Never really cared about my neck level and never grinded ap. I can understand that you want your Alts to get more AP but 1/ that’s kinda useless, you get to 65 pretty fast with the free lvl50 and you’ll eventually reach lvl75 a few weeks later. Could be easier with your suggestion but that’s already pretty decent
And 2/, what you’re asking for falls into the same category than account wide essences, which is account wide progression on a major progression system. That’s the reason why they refused to implement account wide essences and I don’t see why they would risk to be incoherent for such a small gain.
I made 5 mil in 1 month with this ( 3.3 mil was this ish )
I have many alts

Well, congratulations are in order I guess. Still, a long boi out of azerite grind ? Must’ve taken a while.
Meanwhile I’m struggling to reach 1M gold since patch release u_U
I gave it to a friend, she made me a fox tail, fox ears, fox paws & a collar with a bell ( it’s a complicated friendship ) so i felt i had to repay her
She really didnt want me to give her the longboi 
Would get it for myself but …
meh …
Its kinda ugly …
auctioneer tho …
not really worth 5 mil …
In previous patches it has been specifically stated by the Blizzard development team that the Heart of Azeroth level would be hard capped.
In the current patch it has been specifically stated by the Blizzard development team that the Heart of Azeroth level would not have a hard cap and would go past lv80, gaining 2 item levels for each additional artifact level and no additional benefit beyond that.
This is the same exact way that Artifact Weapons and Artifact Power behaved in Legion, I’m a bit surprised people are still confused about it.
Oh, and you don’t really need any Heart of Azeroth catch up for your alts. I know people tend to see red when ‘alt’ and ‘bfa’ are uttered in the same sentence, but the fact of the matter is that you won’t. Doing the Visions of N’zoth introduction sets your neck level at 65 if it was lower than that, and once Artifact Knowledge maxes out, it will take you a week or so at most to get to 80 from there.
Oh, and Artifact Power world quests being ‘useless’ is not a bad thing. We’ve been farming this crap for two years. We deserve a break. I, for one, have welcomed lv75 necks on my two active characters with bliss that comes only with the realization that I never have to do a single World Quest or Island Expedition ever again. Now I just need Revered with the new reps for the essences and I can happily stop doing any ‘daily grind’ content. Imagine only logging in for raids, M+ and the assaults/Horrific Visions, it’ll be glorious.
I think it’s kinda cool. And it’s the only brutosaur mount there is 
Passenger mount to boot.
Running wild is the only ground mount i need
But that comes from the person who despises zandilari trolls, they look like moldy potatoes, and the longboi mount has the theme of zandilari bois
I use Running Wild on my worgen too. Unless I’m being lame and poaching quest objectives, in which case I’m in flying travel form.
To not stray too far off topic though:
I remember that too from somewhere. It was announced fairly ahead of 8.3.
Not exactly, it still makes your essences a little bit better.
So for essences, such as Vision of Perfection for example, leveling the neck further can still be very lucrative.
Seriously ? Always believed it scaled on AP or SP rather than neck item level.
