You don’t have a reason.
Don’t presume to speak for anyone but yourself. There are as many reasons to keep a character that will never be played again as there are players who want to keep them. It has no affect on you at all if anyone else wants to spend their own money on as many extra slots as they desire. So please refrain from telling what is good for anyone but yourself.
The limit going up likely wasn’t realized because previously you were limited drastically on a per-server basis in addition to the account-wide maximum. Once they removed the server restriction and made it only an account-wide restriction that you could pile all into one server clown-car style…
Well, as someone who has hit the character limit, there are plenty of reasons to have that many characters. Boredom. RP. Leveling other classes. Leveling other classes multiple times. Transmog farming. Bank alts. Professions. Gold generation (Racing WQs make bank), and many many more.
Too bad we cant progress our character limit. Such as 1 Million gold = 10 additional Max Characters. Up to a max of 100 … that would be cool.
It may go up in War Within with the Eathern allied race release.
I can feel the urge to take out some long-rested character for a spin from time to time so can definitely relate. I currently have THREE priests. None shadow, and the draenei one created specifically to play in the WoD expansion.
I want some more character slots please! I need more Gnomes!
I really dont think you have all 56 at 70 and geared , if you want more toons to play just delete and play them again
The reminds of at launch, gnomes were the only race that couldn’t run dungeons in all same race groups. No gnome healers! It is good that they changed that.
They are most likely geared for what they are meant to do.
What eactly are they doing lol he cant be playing 1 toon for more than 5 mins a day across 56 toons
Stop telling others how to have fun.
Bank alts do not need much gear other some nice suit and a lot of bags to begin with. And if you are over levelled for an area, you could still breeze through with horrid gear. As such transmog hunters do not need much. And then there are what I call “tourist” characters. they are there to experience old content. Eventually they over level the content so massively that they can solo raids. It doesn’t matter if the purpose is just to experience the story. And no, it isn’t five minutes characters. Most characters are dormant for long timers until taken out for a spin with some intense playing.
So… this isn’t trying to control people? Telling them they should delete their characters because you feel like there should be this useless limit?
Now, now, you can’t explain things to people like them, their reading comprehension is above a first-grade level.
So your telling be he has 56 bank alts ? and he needs more bank alts ?
You can never have enough space.
why did you add 10 more in DF? Players like you are the reason we ended up being stuck with 50 for over a decade. Characters aren’t collectibles.
It’s none of your business what they do with their characters, but let me ask you something.
Why is okay to have 8 licenses on an account, totaling 480 characters, but not okay to have 61 on a single license.
I’ll tell you why. Money.
Please don’t raise the limit. Save me from myself.
Well they do make the game to make money. Scummy as this is for a sub based game they could just sell character slots bundles, 5 for $20. Cheaper than a WoW token and with the price so low people would buy more bundles over time than if it was a higher price.
