I’ll even pay for it, if it’s a matter of server costs. I want to be able to roll all my character fantasies, instead of constantly compromising due to the limit of 50.

Well, you have the option of paying for it - just get a new account.

theres no way youre actively playing 50 characters

That’s a bit besides the point though. Altoholics like collecting characters, not necessarily playing all of them. That’s where we spend our time, just like raiders spend their time inside raid dungeons.

I actively use my 46 each week to kill Sha of Anger and Rukhmar. I am sure others use their many characters for lots of things. In the past I have ran 30+ through Nighthold (Mythic) for a chance at Gul’dan in the same week.
There are many degenerates that play this game (love you all 
) . I’m only at 46 to make room for any future Allied races., I’d like the option to make more (without paying a second sub.)

That’s not the same thing. It’s cumbersome and requires another monthly fee. If you collect characters, ideally you’d have them all on the same server (one list).

Same as managing all your characters data requires monthly $. There’s no free lunch.
Maybe they could increase it since they are not providing content in any way close to the frequency they once did… a trade off.

Sure, they might do it, especially with subs falling off. Just pointing that feelling entitled to get free stuff is not ok.
One time fee to increase character limit beats having to pay a monthly fee for another account.
I don’t think they will change anything there anytime soon, but this close to Christmas, I feel 1% more optimistic

For a month - yes, for 6 months - most probably, for 3+ years - who knows.
(talking about Blizzard profit)
I would very much pay for 50 extra character slots if it happen. I don’t want to delete any of my lvl 50 characters but i miss a few spec for some classes.

I mean, fine, but how the hell would you ever play 50 characters, let alone 100?
What’s even the point? Is this some kind of rp thing?
Mount runs - World Bosses, Old Dungeons, tmog runs, horde/alliance sets (BfA I had both sides because it mattered for achievements etc.)
There are lots of reasons to have many characters. I’ve 46 all at least level 50 by 10.0 they will all be level 60. If they increased the cap today (even by 10) I’d level 4-5 more characters because there is little else to do
I am a baby in the alt game, there are many people that use many characters.

I could never bring myself to level up that many characters, i am fine with 1 for each class.
It’s fine. If you want to have that advantage, you have the means to do so. And if the average number of players have ~50 characters on their account I’m sure that Blizzard would increase the number of slots. Until then you can just pay for an additional account.
I have done in the past (paid for two more) so I could summon to ICC with account 2+3 for example.
However the OP asked for more and I support that (I’d even pay to unlock a greater amount)
It doesn’t cost to add a few lines in a DB and it wouldn’t hurt for Blizzard to throw us a few bones at the moment.

Yes, it does. Making the number of characters/account x2 means they need to effectively double the amount(and cost) of storage. Pretending that it’s free is just obtuse.
No it doesn’t cost a lot, not relative to the initial cost of the hardware, storage is dirt cheap. To make out it is a real sacrifice for Blizzard to do is dishonest.
You are also saying that everyone will automatically make 60 (or 100 or whatever) accounts. They won’t, a DB wouldn’t store an empty line waiting for you to make a character, they don’t work like that.

That’s not something I know, neither is something you know. Pretending that you know what their montly costs for storage is dishonest.
