... Along with other alt-related complaints this expansion, this new upgrade system just made it roughly twice as long to cap honor gear for an alt,along with pretty much guaranteeing that new alts cannot catch up with mains during the season for conquest gear.
I understand that they want people to have plenty to do, but in the past you still chose how much you wanted to do by having several alts. All this is doing is locking you into playing one character if you want to pvp without a huge gear disadvantage(the biggest gear range of any season I can remember), which for a lot of people results in burn-out.
