Classic has so far generally embraced the playstyle of people having multiple alts that they play at a high level. This is at odds with MoP’s design which between the early rep grinds, the inaccessibility of flying for alts and eventually the legendary questline is going to discourage people from playing their alts. Especially at the start of the expansion this can become a heavy grind with risk of burnout as people try to prepare multiple chars for the raid release.
A couple of changes would make a major difference here:
- Introduce a book for the flying skill which could be sent to alts, enabling easier leveling.
- Have tabards available for the reputation factions so that we don’t have to resort to mass farming mobs in the world.
- A slightly longer pre-raid period to allow people to get their characters through these rep grinds, since they are so much more impactful than they’ve been in the past.
- Character wide reputations would also be a major quality of life change that we’ve been missing from Classic so far.
