The entire point of alts is to have something to do when you're done with your main. If all content is already done on your alt before you even log on them what's the fucking point dude? They already made all other essences easier to get, be happy about what you get and enjoy that you have something to do in the game. Stop crying literally for nothing, and in the void where the people who can do something about it don't check.
This isn't a race to be done with everything ASAP, the whole concept of the game is PROGRESSING, not ALREADY BE DONE AND BORED.
Why should a guy that only plays his shaman in mythic dungeons care about alts?
Alright I'm back and I did the quests until the cloak on an alt.
Paladin ilvl 389 when starting, 408 at the end.
I had 280 flightspeed during Uldum, however when I hearthed back to SW I purchased the 310 one quickly.
It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes, and the rewards were as follows:
Legendary cloak
440 Corrupted gear
430 Azerite piece
2 415 pieces
Lots of Azerite
Few essences
2k Gold from that one cache
I skipped the last few quests, however they'd take around 10 minutes to do, and would reward me with a lot of coalescing visions and more azerite.
In conclusion, if you log in during prime time, have max speed on flight and have a slightly more geared alt you'll finish this a lot faster than I did.
It's not even the time that bugs me really its all the loading screens and porting around.
That's kinda the whole crux of the issue: Your progress doesn't matter.
Let's say with account wide rep grind. You do it once and you get your title. You don't need to do it all over again for your alts. Your progress was noted and not forgotten. With BfA content, you have to do that grind all over again.
We know there's always room for improvement. Blizz has the means to do the right thing. The more infuriating thing is they didn't do it.
This is just perspective. The game started and any kind of progression you do on your main does not carry over to your alt. So basically, it's never YOUR progression, it's YOUR CHARACTER'S progression. In this sense, it's never forgotten and it always matters. I really don't know why you would expect any kind of power progression to be account wide, it never worked that way and probably never will. That's literally just you wishing everything was easier and took less time. I get it, it's not an outlandish thought, but it's not natural or tailored for the game, it was never a core concept of WoW's progression so why suddenly ask for it? Is it just because you're tired of playing the game and want everything given to you? Sounds like you just need to quit or stop expecting your alts to be another main. Alts are supposed to be weaker and behind your main up until your main caps out and the alt naturally catches up. That's how it was before and with all the stuff that is now account wide there's not really any reason to get more.
So you've proves that you didn't get any MoP cloaks. It was a lot more than just collections. You had the PvP grind as well as the extra quests that had to be done that were not that easy on Alts. If you disagree with posts please don't come here and lie.

I didn't realise that Alts were locked until you did this quest chain. I'll make sure to put a bug report in about my alt that did a raid last night. He hasn't done the quest chain yet. I don't want to get banned for exploits.

Because they think that people know about the portal hubs in the capital.

You mean they give you an opportunity to get a legendary for each alt with about 2 to 3 hrs gameplay and also giving you an out with scenarios that can be skipped.
The assaults give you, in my experience, a 440 and a 410. Gear that most Alts would love to have.
I did my first cloak on a mage with 380 gear and one esscence. Neck was lvl 48. A pretty crappy alt. Took 3 hrs because I didn't know what to do and didn't realise there were events to speed up the assaults. Mistakenly thought I had to do all the dailies as well. I admit that the gameplay was uninspired but it is a lot easier than any other legendaries and I got 3 pieces out of it plus an esscence when I can equip it.
Very alt friendly.
Doing the questline again on alts isn't that big of an issue for me.
What IS an issue however is how unnecessarry tanky the mobs are. As a 443 bala druid it's taking ages to kill a normal mob and they threw into that a casting speed debuff. I understand if I was undergeared, but this high ilev? It was tedious and unenjoyable cause the only thing I could think was "please no more mobs".
What's the point of being well geared?
Then you shouldn't play an alt, the entirety of the new content is revolved around doing the assault, it effects your legendary cloak, it effects the reputation needed for both new reps, it's also required for 2 of the 3 new essences. So at the end of the day if "Assaults are the tedious part" then you shouldn't play the alt(s).
