If you play content now, having one of the good corruptions is worth more than extra essence slot in most cases. Sadly while getting good corruption on an alt can be massive, it's very rng whether you'll get it or not. I wouldn't be surprised if some altoholics decide which alt to play and which one to shelve until shadowlands depending on which was lucky with corruption, similar how in legion people stuck to the alts that rolled best leggos.
Some of these corruptions feel like playing with a cheat code. I'm really wondering if they will let us keep them past 9.0 because if they let us keep them until lvl 55 it's gonna be a shitshow while levelling (esp. in warmode).
