Its a business, first and foremost, people tend to forget numbers and player activity is all that matters. They have the true stats and information on this, so no one here can make a informed opinion on it, just personal experience and conjecture.
If someone has R3/4 on an alt then they put in the time to get those essences in the first place. Your argument makes no sense.
Plus how does doing dailies and WQs or pvp help with your M+ or raid group?
All toons player different, could be a master priest but a potato DK.

I thought that said R34 for a second and was thinking that’s a very different kind of essence
Players participate because most of the grinds are mandatory in order to get to the content those players actually enjoy.

That’s not the point. Matter of fact my opinion on account wide essences has nothing to do with this. I was sharing my view as someone who sees how people on the forums respond aggressively to each other.
However to answer you. I lose nothing from account-wide essences. And if there were account wide essences I might be interested in gearing my other tank class. However I just can’t be asked with the amount of effort the system has right now so I play two characters and then other games. I’m not against account wide essences I just know Blizzard said they aren’t coming and I would rather a company keep their word and upset customers than break their word to please customers.
Grinding dailies would make zero difference.

It’s the last patch of BFA, all those essences will be obsolete before the year ends.
No need to be selfish now…
If grinding dailies gave you every essence I would agree, but im talking on a very broad scale in all content.
You’d rather have them keep their word with something that actively keeps players from enjoying other classes just on some non existent moral ground? Shew. Blizzard LOVES players like you.
Because if you ain’t a white knight and go all Blizz alt right, you get a forum vacation night and be told to hush aight?

Most people complain about the essences that are locked behind dailies/rep/pvp. Again I ask what do those activities have to do with your M+ or raid group?
Account wide things hurt the sense of self of some people that can only be happy with themselves if others cant be happy with something they are not.
It is the “envious sense of justice” common to many human beings.
I knew it. I’ve been playing the wrong class. I need to play as a potato.

Thats were I disagree most if not all the complaints are about PvP essence and the raiding essence from EP.
Nazjatar and mecha gave been nerfed so much ( I have gotten r3 on and alt recently) that it feels like a non issue.
they might realise just how little there is to do once that became the case in turn they’d begin to like the game less and maybe shift over to classic.
This is going to sound rude, but take it with a grain of salt.
Apologist has to be one of, if not the, dumbest social media buzzwords I have had the displeasure of reading on these forums as of late. It sounds dumb and it’s definition boils down to ‘whaaa they don’t agree with me so I have to make up some word to sound degrading because they don’t share my view’.
Enough with this behavior.
Now as for the topic. While that would be nice, I don’t agree at this point of making essences account wide. Here’s a list of why.
- First, we’re not going to be using them in shadowlands past maybe the first few levels. 55 at most.
- Nothing in Shadowlands leveling is going to require high level essences.
- Rank 1 essences will be more than sufficient to deal with whatever you need to deal with starting out. The game literally throws essences at you just for doing the various start-up areas along with boosting your heart to 50 just by unlocking the damned forge!
To close, we don’t need account wide essences, get what you can on your x number alt and feel fine in knowing it will be enough come launch.

Honestly a lot of people tend to feel about a certain thing that if they’ve put in the time and effort, everyone else should do so as well – even if that time and effort was totally unnecessary and that thing could be substantively improved by removing those requirements. A lot of the attitude around the backlash to this idea honestly seems to be, “SUBJECT YOURSELF TO THIS INTENSELY BORING AND REPETITIVE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I DID.”
Honestly, there’s no argument against account wide progression. There just isn’t. It’s all smug elitism from people who are so used to Blizzard’s shenanigans that they don’t care whether the game is actually fun or not.
