I don't roll alts but do you really need to max out all of your characters with all the bells and whistles ?
I don't roll alts but do you really need to max out all of your characters with all the bells and whistles ?
Umm ya, this is kind of mind blowing but two pages of replies and not a single person mentioned lesser charms of good fortune?
Really guys, really? This nifty little currency negates every single point made in this thread, and dooms me to 45 dailies per week per alt for the forseeable future.
Currently i barely want to grind them for my main let alone any alts it's just complete agony...but have to do them as i have all reps since tbc at exalted
I just hate mop dailies..they are so dull and so numerous...and to top it all off they reward like 110 rep compared to the normal 250 so you just have to do them for twice the amount of time >.<
This, there is no need to do dailies at all, for hardcore progression it was needed i will admit. However on alts, I'm willing to bet in 5.3 people will go shado-what and golden who? Since the Ilvl will have been upgraded so much its pointless to try get that gear (also I've done about one week of dailies on mt alt since i got the tome (from scratch) now I'm revered with GL )
Wrath and BC style of rep grind by spamming heroic dungeons over and over was a lot worse, I will admit there are flaws in MoP rep, but this is an improvement on BC and wrath. I think they should make the dailies more, lets say heroic, with randomly generated mini-bosses at the end of each main daily zone (with a random name), this way you feel like you are making a difference.
Problem is at the moment its basically the cloth repeatable quests but instead of gather cloth its kill X or gather Y

You don't need to do a single daily on your alt to get the Belt Buckle recipe. Also lots of other BS recipes you can get from Klaxxi without doing a single daily on your alt assuming you've already done the dailies on your main to get to at least revered.
Alchemy, Inscription, and Engineering are for the most part trainer profs. Might be some really high end epic stuff that requires rep, but everyday stuff you can get from trainer.
Leveling alt tradeskills so much easier in MoP than in Cata when you had to run them all through Molten Front.

Completely disagree. MoP is the most alt-friendly expansion Blizzard has ever released.
The new +rep items actually help a LOT. Maybe not as much for something like Golden Lotus / Celestials, but for Klaxxi / Shadow-Pan, the change is noticable. I just ran my paladin alt through Dreadwastes / towlong over the last couple of days, and hit revered with both Klaxxi and Shadow-pan without even needing to do a single daily.
It was. However since 5.1 released, raising reputation on alts merely for access to valor gear and profession recipes is a complete joke, provided you buy the commendations on your main. If anything, this patch made it almost as alt-friendly as 4.3 and 3.3 were, and we're still in the first tier of the expansion.
I'm not implying that this is a bad thing; it isn't. It is, in fact, good. Just pointing out that saying MoP is unfriendly for alts after 5.1 is absolutely, insanely false.
you don't have to do dailies.
great, another thread for the blizzard daily quest bootlickers to come out and pretend that the terrible new rep/daily system is fine.
/rolleyes
Great, another thread for passive/aggressive control freaks that don't realize that dailies are optional. Topics in wow are like politics. People get so raged up over things. Not because they care about the issue, but because they need an "us vs them" war to fill some of the emptiness in their own lives with some personal satisfaction in saying "HA! I'm right, you're wrong." . It's better to have content that you can choose to do if you want to, and not do if you don't want to, than to remove them completely. 4.3 was a shining example of this.

Blacksmithing you will also need Tiller's at least to Revered, otherwise you can't make shit with the outrageous Spirit of Harmony requirements for each piece.
Jewelcrafting you will need to get Exalted with Cloud Serpent to learn all the panther mounts.
Enchanting is the worst, you need Revered with two factions and those cannot be done unless you are Revered with Golden Lotus first.
Dailies may not be mandatory, but that's inline with saying playing the game isn't mandatory. They're a major part of the game's content.
Just like if you don't do scenarios, or level-capped dungeons, or raids or PvP. Non-issue is non-issue.The entire game is optional. The much bigger issue is that Blizzard has made dailies a huge part of endgame, and dailies suck. If you choose to not do dailies, you are missing out on the majority of endgame content.
Yeah, typing in trade 'LF BS to make *insert item here* pst!' is hunting.The problem is, my alts are there to be my pocket crafters. I don't want to go hunting out a blacksmith for a belt buckle or a leatherworker for an armor patch. Certainly don't want to pay the absurd prices on the AH for these items.
Because it's still the beginning of an expansion, plenty of people aren't going balls to the wall which means plenty of people don't have access to all the good shit. Thus, demand goes up because supply is down causing an inflation on prices, not to mention that inflation would have happened anyways because every new expansion brings about a higher/quicker cash flow per person on average. Once more people start getting through what's available, I will guarantee you the prices will go down.yes I know it's an MMO and all, but AH prices are out of control (or at least I think they are).
You're considering quitting over something that has existed since day one, but is in a much better iteration than day one or even expansion one? I honestly have no words for this.Maybe it is time for me, like many before me, to quit this game -- the only thing keeping me playing ATM is the people in my guild
If you have no drive to grind dailies, don't. Nobody but you is 'forcing' you to get ten toons to 90 just so you never have to spend a dime on professions; stop acting like it's the fault of the game for the choices you've been personally making the last X amount of time you've been playing this game. I also find it particularly hard to believe that you couldn't talk to one of your guild mates who likely has put in the time an effort into their professions, or is likely going to cut you a deal since that's typically how guild mates behave with each other.
In short, some person on the internet bitching just to bitch. More news at 11.
Of course you don't have incentives to do this. It's a waste of your time. Why don't you just have a guildmate craft any rep-gated profession items for your main?
Leveling a bazillion alts and then trying to boost their rep just for a few enchants, belt buckles, or augments is about the least productive use of your time. Just use a fraction of that time to earn money or mats -- just about anything comes from the farm or Spirit of Harmony trade-ins -- and quit trying to do everything yourself.
