I stopped caring. my main is 49 and this alt is 45 and it’s basically from the occasional emissary and M+ cache.
I dont do islands or warfronts, and i dont do WQ other than the 4 daily for the emissary…
I actually could care less is I get it to 50 before the next patch. I care even less if I get it to 75 or 65 or whatever the max is for the heart traits…
i’m just done with that garbage grind… and i’m a mythic raider lol
I didn’t grind it in Legion and I’m not grinding it in BfA.
My main’s neck is like level 44 because like 95% of my Azerite was a combination of raid drops and the M+ cache, but we’re only doing CoS now so the amount of Azerite I’ve been getting from raids is negligible and I stopped doing M+ on that character because the chances of an upgrade are tiny, so no bonus from the cache anymore.
Thanks to catchup mechanics, this alt -almost- caught up to the main despite also not grinding it, mostly because of Mythic+, but I hit 400 ilvl at neck level 42 so that’s now also done, because I don’t care much about getting higher than 400 ilvl on an alt that I’m not even raiding on so I’m no longer running M+.
My most used character is at 48 80%, I haven’t played that character a lot this month nor the past one, but you can definitely get lvl 50 if you are active but not grinding.
I have 6 or 7 characters with lvl 50 neck and other than the last month I just ignored grinding for that. Still don’t ‘grind’ for it just make sure to do emissaries for azerite which I had been skipping at time before.
Believe level 42, or 43 is the most I have on the character I play the most. Alts are in the 30’s maybe. But ya I don’t bother with azercrap outside of the mission table ones. Don’t raid anyways, or pvp, so why bother trying to max it out.
Every mythic raid team I join, I’m always the lowest neck ilvl. I hate wqs, islands, warfronts, etc. Only source of AP I enjoy doing is dungeons but its like 300 ap per dungeon, which takes 30-40mins so not very efficient. Every other source of ap is just a boring activity with absolutely 0 challenge and nothing interesting.
This guy got to 50 last week I think. I didn’t actually TRY for it though so it wasn’t so much a grind. I have been doing islands for doubloons, so there’s that.
