Wich is pretty stupid as players can just play.... more characters! Or are you saying we should only be allowed a single character slot aswell?
I level and gear up my alts, so that i can bring them to progression fights if/when they are needed. It's no different than switching to another spec at the push of a button. It's easier than ever to catch up on gear with alts, it's been getting easier and easier every single expansion. If it's going to be more difficult to switch specs than to switch characters, something is really broken.
What will this thread mean for blizzard? This is like the exact opposite playerbase than the one who loves nostalrius.
That makes no sense at all, it's never been easier to catch up on gear with alts. I've been juggling 3 fully geared characters throughout raiding in the expansion, and i've put in significantly less time on them than in previous expansions.
But i agree, artifacts really ruins it for alts AND off-specs.
You CAN get past ilvl 735+ without ever stepping into a raid.
Regardless, i've never understood why people want raid gear so badly when they dont... raid. Raid loot is a means to an end, it shouldnt be the goal of the game for anyone. Unless you're done with progression and just farm bosses for BiS gear.
