Most games give you a handful of slots or give more if you pay for them. When I played FFXIV you got ONE slot by default unless you paid extra on the sub.
WoW already spoils you with 50. It’s fine. Delete characters you don’t play anymore or get another account.
/someone account capped
Shadowlands is the perfect opportunity for more slots given the leveling is made easier.
its gonna happen. Especially with how fast leveling has become (12 hours without heirlooms)
Well, that’s how fast they were able to reach level 50 right after alpha was released, and they leveled the same way we do right now (i.e., no Chromie Time). It’s still so early that it could change.
It may be even faster with Chromie Time, but they might also make it a bit slower. We don’t really know at this point for sure.
That all being said, I still support the idea of raising the character limit. As others said earlier in the thread, part of it in my case is having characters that I spent a lot of time on in the past and don’t want to delete despite not playing them currently.
There isn’t really any downside to doing it.
Except it’s not to some people. This doesn’t affect you. There’s a monthly sub cost, along with buying the game again to have another account. Not everyone has max levels of all these characters and doesn’t spend 8 hours a day on all of them to buy tokens, while also needing to buy the game.
The option of $5 for 5 slots up to a max of maybe 75 or 100 in no way affects anyone if Blizz can or wants to do it.
Getting really tired of people just dismissing this whole thing with the “Oh, go spend more money or gold a month and buy the game again, you don’t need this.” If Blizz can or wants to do it, then our suggestion didn’t go unnoticed. Telling people to delete things or spend a crap ton more money to “solve” their QoL suggestion here is a little irritating.
I’m really confused as to why the people who don’t have 50 characters and never will care so much.
Like of all the request in the game that will effect you- this isn’t one of them? At all. Like who cares?
I think it’s a cool idea for super altoholics. I know sometimes I love being able to make more characters to level- just because it’s fun.
I dont have to sub multiple accounts to have more than x amount of characters on one realm and i dont have to sub multiple accounts for xfaction characters on a pvp realm.
case and point. Thank you sir, lol
Who are you to say what others need? Leveling characters IS the game for many, the limit is pointless.
Why does someone need to play world of warcraft?
YES. PLEASE!!!
Thanks for that link. I’d never heard of it. Everyone 8th and below just got pushed down a notch. 
I too enjoy free things, give me the free things please
omg 100 percent agree!!! 50 is way to low
That was a good 15 minutes spent chugging all my alts into that site. Thanks for the link! I don’t have quite 6k points but I’ve found some of the folks that have way more alts than I could even fathom.
The 50 character cap is only a role player issue.
That’s awful presumptuous of you. I don’t have any characters on an RP server, don’t RP, and I’m stuck with a full roster (and wanting more than 50 characters).
If you’ve been around for 15+ years on WoW it’s quite possible you’ve found yourself across multiple servers, different factions, and with a lot of nostalgic toons that you jump back to from time to time. I play about 10 actively but have a roster of 50.
Could use some more slots, by the way 
How do you even have time to actually play 50 characters, and want room for more?
Not saying you shouldn’t have more room,but I’m legitimately wondering how you play 50 characters. I can barely play 3
No problem, glad to have you on the site 
When you go to the site, at the top where you put in your realm and character name there is a down arrow V When you click that you’ll see the Blizz icon and a list of Regions at the bottom, click your Region (I assume America’s) and allow the website to pull your account info from Blizzard and it will import all your characters for you.
Depends on what you or they define as “play”. If you are defining play as full clear the latest raid then I doubt anyone plays 50 characters lol.
?
it isnt special treatment if everyone benefits from it…
