Making the legendary quest line easier for alts?

MoP Legendaries are a joke. They should have scrapped the whole quest chain in the first place. Legendaries were awesome back in Classic but I think they have no place in Modern WoW now where everyone has a chance to be competitive.

I am actively working on the legendary quest on five different characters. Four of them are at the collect 6K VP part. It is tough going but I am not complaining, just taking it nice and easy. Most weeks I don't cap out a single character.

I imagine that some parts of the chain are going to get more difficult as the expansion progresses (thinking mostly of the part where you have to gather a group to kill the opposition commander). However, I think it is fine as it is, you don't need to complete the chain on every alt, just choose the one that will get the most out of it.

A legendary item is supposed to feel legendary i.e you put in a lot of time and effort to get it, and in this case I can't imagine that blizz would ever make the questline easier in the future for alts. I believe when they started the expansion they wanted your main character to have a lot of prestige compared to previous expansions, hence the game not being so alt friendly compared to before.

But who knows, I think its quite nice to take this approach whereby you will have to play each patch to get the next questline as it will really reward those players who stick with the expansion and complete all the content needed to get the final legendary item whatever it may be.

I think it is safe to say the term "Legendary" has changed, and more or less. Items have shifted to the right. green items, more or less, are useless except to fill in on rares that you don't receive while doing dungeon levels (which used to be difficult) and rares, in a sense, have been replaced by epics. Epics now cover a wide range of items. Where epics used to be reserved for the few. needless to say the legendary items have taken the place of class quests. and are now "Expansion quests"

It's kind of ridiculous to ask for instant legendary on alts, don't you think? Tell me, when someone got the legendary staff in firelands, did all their alts also get one? No? Why should it be any different this time.

They kinda did. That is, if alts were also casters. some guilds where handing them out for funsies

You still had to run the instance and they didn't all of the sudden make that shit drop in higher quantities in lfr dragonsoul.
Anyways I have little doubts that they will let people start a later point of the quest somewhere down this addon.

Legendary quest line does not mean you will end up with a prestigious legendary. I like the idea of the questline but expect to see some major funneling at some point that lfr players will not have access to. The gems and what not are nice bonuses but they certainly aren't of legendary quality even though if they are orange. What is considered legendary is the wrathion questline.

So i was just thinking the other day, that do you think blizzard has any intentions to make the legendary questline easier for alts? Im a brm tank in 6/16hc guild atm, i've completed the questline to the point, where i just have to wait for 5.2. When 5.2 hits i will most likely reroll to a warrior tank, since our guild doesent have a plate tank yet. It kinda sucks that i have to first collect the sigils, which will take like 3 weeks minimum with good luck. Then i need to wait 6 weeks so i can get the 6k valor, and then im on to the TOT part of it. That's most likely about 9+ weeks time, before i can even get to the legendary metagem part.

So what do you guys think? Should they make it easier for people who have already completed it on their mains?

No, I don't think Blizzard should make it any easier for alts to obtain the "legendary" upgrades. Let me explain why... Understand this is my reasoning behind it, which is not necessarily in line with Blizzard's way of thinking with alts.

Every character we make is a different and unique entity within the WoW universe. As such, each character should have to prove their worth. This becomes especially true when the task is a "legendary" one. To me, this isn't the kind of quest that should be made easier just because another character you control has done it. What says that your new warrior tank is worthy of it (on name alone). I know this is quite the RP inspired answer, but to me, it fits. There are some things in the game that should be made easier based on what other toons have done. legendary items shouldn't be made any easier. It cheapens the experience (even if you have done it more than once).
