Blizz - this is 2024 about to be 2025 … why do we still have bind on pickup ? Make it bind to account for pete’s sake.

Make EVERYTHING we pick up BIND TO ACCOUNT.

I agree wholeheartedly, as long as it is Previous Expac stuff to help lower level alts. We don’t need people grinding M+ for alts.

why not ? what harm is that ?

I KNEW IT! This was thinly veiled for alts.

Here’s why:

  • Players will take the meta class guaranteed an invite
  • They will spam keys day and night to get them all geared
  • Then, when they are still not meta, will not get an invite
  • Players will then come here crying about how unfair it is

The whole time, you will have ilvl 639 alts with a 0 IO score and be like

M+ was a challenge mode for a reason, and if you are already not getting invited, it will be ever worse when they check that score :rofl:

Recipes aren’t.

All non-gear items should be Bind on Account. I agree with that.

guess you didn’t read the part

Thats happening right now as we speak

Again … people are doing that right now … ever see leather/plate/chain stacking groups ?

Yea you already said that so why repeat ?

The forums are filled with that already

Right now we have 619 alts with zero IO … so … 20 more points is the problem ?

Ok so they still dont get invite because of a zero IO score so whats the problem ?

I dont understand your logic against this

Then I can’t help you. Non-gear? Totally on board. Giving people free top end gear cause their main is already geared? No thanks. If you don’t want to gear the alt by playing the alt, don’t have the alt. Catch up gear is one thing. End game gear is just asking for everything. I don’t even do M+ anymore and this idea annoys me. I can only imagine someone who took the time to hit 639 gear on 5+ alts reading your suggestion. Would be like me asking to have 639 gear for sale in the shop cause I just can’t be bothered to get it on my under-geared characters.

I’m a streamer, but I am a casual. Currently leveling a character for a funny series I have in mind, “Dave Jenkins” of the The Reluctant Hero guild.

Well, bad news. This game is a time sink. I have on just this druid alone for /played is almost 37,300 hours over the last 19 years, while working full time and spending time with family. If you are not interested in the time investment, you might want to find a new RPG on XBox or something. WoW is the biggest time sink… ever.

and thats why the game cant get new players in numbers to stay

this game is made for / designed for / and is just trying to keep the existiing base … that can only last so much longer

12

it started with 1M players 20 years ago, jumped to 12.5M from Wrath into Cata, and is still living around 7M today. If it dies, it will be 20 years from now when all of us OGs are too old to play, or to care… or in heaven :rofl: The game is already 100x easier than it was in Vanilla.

Vanilla is easier generally and more tedious.

People already complaining about geared people rolling on gear, but you do have warband gear

15

The best way to gear a character should be to play that character.

This will sound super sarcastic, but what MMO has all gear as BoA? Every one I’ve played has had the gear treadmill.

I dont think all gear being BoA is the solution, don’t get me wrong I feel your pain. I did 3 delves and the LFR weekly in tanaris yesterday, I also got lucky with 2 maps. Of those 6 pieces of gear 4 were trinkets. Having to sell those felt bad, id have loved to shove em in the warbank.

I just don’t see it happening anytime soon.

Not saying I agree, but to your question gear in ESO is bound to the account and can be moved between characters using the account bank, and in SWTOR most gear is also bound to account and can be moved between characters using the account bank.

the more wow moves to an account progression game, the more I am nudged to quiting.

an account progression game pushes people to do nearly everything y’all complain about

an account progression game give less incentive to balance anything.

an account progression game means the meta is much much much more focused on, esp in areas where it’s not needed.

19

wouldn’t this just lead to players trying to run alts they have little experience with in keys?

20

they can ‘try to run alts’ as much as they can

wonder why all this leads to ‘problems with keys’ ---- no one – i mean NO ONE is taking a 630 Gear Score with ZERO IO Score into a sub-high key

for that matter - no one is taking a 619 (full delve gear) with ZERO IO SCORE either !!

name one - that remark is so obtuse

how exactly ?? another obtuse sentence with no definitive counter point

insert my statement from above here as well
