Made a post about Azerite Essences,
My main gripes with the system:
- Alt friendlyness or the lack there off. playing alts is becoming difficult because either:
A: getting the essences is a pain
B: without essences it isnt optimal for the things i like to do (in before all the shitposts: yes you can play them without essences, aware of that)
- repetitive and really boring content:
Nobody likes to farm the same reputation and materials over and over again to unlock essences. (Mechagon / Nazjatar / EP / Honor)
And for all the people saying that the progress or hard work from others who already have done the above things for alts:
- most essences will be easier to acquire with 8.3.
Although it still introduces a certain amount of time and reputation farming involved to actually take use of it.
Benthic Gear and the upcoming Black Empire gear will introduce a lot of systems to actually gear up alts to certain ilvls and get you started, however without essences they will still not be as strong or viable as other characters and introducing once again the same annoying grind for the same essences you already did grind multiple times.
