30 Instances Clarification?

Hello All -

I just wanted to get a clarification on the instance caps. So, if I have two accounts on my Bnet and have a character on the same realm on both do they share the lock?

I only ask because currently if I hit my 5 per hour on my account and use that same account on a different server - I’m still locked. Not sure if that is intended.

The reason I ask is because I have my pally on one account and this mage on the other. I like to run my pally through mara for ghost mushrooms to make LIPS for PVP, so I could easily hit 30 instances in a day relatively easy. Especially between the two of them.

Anyone have an experience with this?

I have two rogues on two different accounts on the same bnet that i do instance runs on and i lock out 30 on each every day. They’re on the same server. They don’t share the same lockouts.

thank you!

Explains the name

It’s completely unacceptable that you have to do this when you pay a subscription fee to play.

This kind of stuff right here is what will end up in people unsubbing.

You assume that he has two accounts specifically because of the 30 instance limit.

If you’re gonna be hitting the instance cap so much to the point you are making multiple accounts to counter it, lets face it, you aren’t quitting, you’re an addict

I have two accounts because leveling a paladin is cancerous. So I leveled the mage first and then followed him on the paladin killing stuff for quests and boosting.

No I never did assume that.

Maybe my mother just died and I want to cope by mindlessly farming out some instances to take my mind off things. It doesn’t mean I do it everyday. Just because you hit the cap does not mean you hit it consistently and even if you did hit it consistently what I do with my free time is not Blizzard’s choice to make. Obviously they don’t care about our well being or they would’ve never implemented the honor system.

Using a stawman to say blizzard made this change to stop people from playing too much

They made this change to stop people from FARMING too much in instances

I’m not strawmaning anything. YOU said that if I hit 30 instances a day then I’m an addict. I’m telling you to mind your own business because what I do with my free time is my choice and I pay $15 a month to play this game just like you do.

I spend about 3 hours in total for the entire day in 60 lockouts to farm about 150g. Easy gold for very minimal effort :man_shrugging:

Okay?

Getting pretty defensive there, seems to have hit a nerve

Maybe if stating the obvious is so triggering for you and makes you instantly defensive its time to take a step back and think things over

“Mind your own business” is exactly the kind of thing an addict in denial says

Honestly it’s probably from a different thread. I’m jumping back and forth between several.

I actually have never hit 30 instances per day

Ok unsub. Classic could use less pop.

Like a large majority of people

So what about the people who do? I don’t understand the logic here.

“It doesn’t affect me so screw them”
or
“They play too much in my opinion”

Abstract away what blizzard is doing here. With this change Blizzard is saying “We are willing to sacrifice the player experience to save money” and it may not affect you today, but one day it will affect you.

Ya, stuff like this isnt a reason to change a game for millions of people. Sorry. Blizzard does not care about the individual they have millions of people to consider.

Why do people say this? In regard to wow, yeah, it very much is. Or you can quit (read: go back to retail)

When a very small portion of the population are contributing in a large part to major inflation that effects ALL players negatively then i would say the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few

If you’re not AoE grinding as a PALADIN, it will be cancerous. Just making the assumption as to why.
