Alts in BFA and Reputation Grinds

What plans, if any, are there to reduce the grind needed for alts with regards to reps like Champions, which have rather large power increases locked behind them?

Will any parts of the War Campaign become account wide, or will we have to redo the entire quest line on every single character?

Well? Let's hear it, Blizz! You can't expect all of us to be able to play this game 24/7. I want my alts to be on equal footing as my main and the mains of other players, because locking item levels behind reputation grinds is ridiculous and 100% anti-consumer/player.

You can't throw in mandatory reputation grinds and call it content in order to stretch your expansion. That is just pathetic.

If you get exalted on your main you should get exalted on your alts.

No one wants to do the grind twice. It's not fun.

I think it'd make more sense if once you get exalted with any reputation in the game, you receive a highly increased rate on an alt.

Still gotta work for it, but it's not tedious.

The silence really is deafening.
If I have to rep grind and do the garrison crap more than once, I'm unsubbing and quitting forever. I've had enough of that garbage.

I don't play wow to do chores.

Should work like AP thing in Legion where you buy the little paper that gave your alts a boost. Once you get exalted you should get a boost for alts either in how much you get or more opportunities or something.
From what I understand... access to the opposing faction Mythic dungeon is locked behind an achievement. As are Island Expeditions. So once you complete the war campaign then you do not need to do the war campaign again besides establish the landing points and turn on world quests.

Same thing with the 2nd part of the overall zone story, once you get the ____ Tourist achievement then any alts do not need to 100% the storyline chapters to proceed onto part 2.

Rep grinding for flying also only needs to be done on 1 character.

The only rep you would be required to regrind is Champions of Azeroth.

No, because forcing you to rep grind means a longer sub which means more money for them. They don't care about how the player feels anymore as long as we're stupid enough to pay them.

It really sucks that the heart of azeroth is a two piece grind. Not only do you have to grind artifact power on each alt to level it, but you also have to grind champions of azeroth rep to increase its ilvl. And its not like we can just go raid/mythic + to get a different neck piece because I'm pretty sure there are zero neck drops in bfa.

I would almost prefer they just put other neck pieces as drops. then we can just level up the heart with ap as it sits in our bags.

Or Blizzard could just completely get rid of the Heart of Azeroth! I am personally not a fan of it.
Is it bad I’m enjoying rep grinding more than running dungeons not dropping anything especially weapons?
No way in hell im I rep grinding on an alt

You mean the rep you only earn drakes for reaching exalted?
Rather than profession recipes and the ilk?

Why not Shattered Sun Offensive? It was both time gated, AND it had recipes you needed to reach exalted with.

...off the record I don't remember anyone enjoying that either. I just liked the gold you got from doing it all.

I think you can skip most of the war campaign anyway unless you want the 5th follower. I can't see any reason to do it.

And really any alt people are going to play champion rep isn't all that hard to get - any alt people are going to play doesn' t need it.

I have 20 max level characters and this really isn't an issue

So you think blizzard will just let your alts have all the profession patterns and epic gear just because your main spent a month doing wq ?

Is that something you think is even remotely possible ?

I am very interested in hearing your argument as to why we should be forced to do a chore-like grind on all of our alts!
