Sounds like it’s time for a new game, one that you can have fun in.

Yea i only really play 1 char. I have an alt monk ive put maybe 10 hours into now that has a few rank 2’s and some rank ones. I can’t be bothered to play multiple characters. I haven’t for years.
I guess I am bad I never cared if I got the essences or not
If you play really casually and are only doing world quests and some heroic/mythic dungeons/lfr; they don’t matter at all.
yes thats me I guess its why I didnt care. Its cool to get them and I do slowly.
Same here. I run some M+ and that’s all I have time for nowadays. I could care less about essences because of that. Hehe

If you do the intro for Nazjatar it gives you memory of lucid dreams rank 1 essence. Doing the intro quest for the heart in heart chamber gives you crucible of flame rank 1 also. If you also do 3 mythic islands you can get rank 1 worldvein (I can run you through these if you need a hand).

4 or 5 fall into your lap just playing the game right.
Its pretty easy on alts if you arent hyper focused on the honor, rep, or body guard ones.
But 99% of posters are CE players of ciurse so that 3% difference ia life or death.

OP what content are you looking to do? The grind is already pretty easy add onto this theyre cutting the grind in half for a chunk of popular essences.
People complaining about essences are mostly people wanting / thinking they need rank 3 to do world quests. Hint: you dont, if that wasnt obvious.
i’m going to pass on 8.3. take a little extended break.

Nope. Not gonna play when 8.3 is full of bad systems that are just getting deleted in 9.0 anyway. Maybe if it was a permanent addition to the game I’d work on it in preparation for next expansion, but not like this.

So many World First racers here, or 3000 Raider IO people. Without the achievements of course.
You don’t need Rank 3s to play alts, you get essences by playing alts. Getting 3 essences is easy, especially the rank 1s that just fall into your lap. 4 Heroic Islands, 6 Follower quests, winning 1 BG/Epic BG/PvP Island, literally a free one from speaking to Magni, Timing 1 Mythic +4, Doing Mechagon Once, etc…

I don’t care about essences, so yeah I’ll still play.
All the reasons i play a MMOrpg in the first place feels good man!
I saw the new expac info, looked at 8.3 mess of grinds and unsubbed. Surprised I can still post. If I ever comeback it will be to mess around in Classic, (or if they launch BC Servers)retail is too far gone.
Shadowlands looks bad to me, plus it’s at least a year out.
The grind could be kind of fun. It could feel rewarding.
It doesn’t have to be this way, even if it makes you feel superior to tell other people that everybody who isn’t happy with bfa has never liked wow and should quit right now and take their money elsewhere.

What if I’m doing M+? Do I not need essences for that?
You don’t need to be a world first raider or have 3000 .io score to get benefits from rank 3 essences.
You don’t need Rank 3s to play alts, you get essences by playing alts.
The issue is how many different modes of content I need to do on my alts in order to get those essences. If I could get them just by doing M+ (which is mostly all I do), then I would be fine with that.
But I have to:
Do months worth of dailies
Do weeks worth of Island expeditions
Do Rated PvP for many months
Do Months worth of Heroic Raids
To get all the essences I might want to use in M+. That is the issue.
