Just a simple request to have the character limit per account increased. Each remix so far I’ve made one of each class and I don’t want to delete them just to be able to make more alts that I like to use for farming. I know you can buy a second account but I want them all on my main account :).

They did for remix.

You’ll likely get next one for future patches maybe in Midnight.

You have 70 characters??
I mean, that’s 24 from the remixes alone but that’s still 46 characters outside of that scope.
I struggle to have 1 of each class, not even to mention actually playing and maintaining more than 1-2.
Yeah I do, I have one of every spec, class, remix classes x2, 12 druids for farming etc. I would pay to have a character limit increase.

You don’t need this many characters, it’s just a fact
That’s definitely an opinion, a fact would be that I have enough character slots to do whatever I want.

To point of fact, you have or are nearly too many for Blizzard. But I support your desire for more slots.
I stopped doing mass alts when it took me 3 hours to get through 45 of them to check mailbox.

Yea OP should delete some. I’ve deleted all but 14(2 hunters, one pvp, one pve), and even 14 I can’t keep them all geared. I like having one of each class and giving them catch-up gear, timewalking.. but I’m playing these. When I had 45 max level, I wasn’t playing all of them, unless you’re on a monthly rotation.
Yeah, I’m sure outlier enthusiast types exist but for the average player 70 slots is plenty
The few times I’ve creeped up to like 20 alts (BFA, Dragonflight, etc) I rarely even logged in to them. Realistically I log into a core pair of like 2 characters to actually do stuff with, the rest just seem to collect dust or get used for a quick WQ or quick BG
There is significant downtime logging in/logging out of a bunch of alts, and the downtime “scales” the more alts you have. When I was cycling thru alts for Collector’s Bounty I kinda kept an eye on the clock and couldn’t help but notice that just with the “log in, log out” repetitiveness… just the logging in/logging out plus sitting thru multiple loading screens on each individual alt across 14 alts added up to a decent chunk of time

So here’s the problem. First, it’s very likely that Blizzard raises it a little bit like they did for Lemix, so people saying “no” are probably wrong. Second, it’s also within people’s control to go buy another account if they want to do so.
Basically, this is just a plea to Blizzard – you’re welcome to do it, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’d buy another account if I had any desire at all for more than around 10 characters.
What is the point? You have one account and can only log one in at a time… I can see two because there are three gathering professions. Maybe three for a cloth gatherer. But not 12.
If there were no point, why would Blizz keep increasing the limit to this point in the first place? They know people are using them for one reason or another
Yeah I have 8 Forsaken, 1 for each class, but only 1 main, the rest I play very rarely
I have 2 alliance but felt disgusting playing them. I havent deleted them because sometimes there are more alliance groups to farm certain things… but yeah, yuck
I really wanted to know why they have 12 druid gatherers… That is why i quoted those specific words.
I don’t actually care about the broader point of total characters per account. Blizzard could increase the value to 100 characters per account tomorrow and on Friday people will be asking for more. Personally, I have always thought they should sell 5, 10 and 15 packs of character slots for extra income.

It doesn’t matter if it’s 12 druids or 2 druids, 2 hunters, 2 shaman, 2 warriors, 2 paladins, 2 rogues. The slots are there
There are 12 zones to farm consumables for decor, park a druid in each zone/expansion, farm using flightform and then use the warbound bank to deposit. Saves time and effort.

That’s fair I suppose, but that’s definitely an outlier use case. Especially when it doesn’t take long to get to a number of them from stormwind, 15-20 seconds maybe? Plus cata and classic lumber zones are adjacent.
They may give us an increased character limit, but if this is the type of example that people are wanting it for, I wouldn’t hold my breath for this to convince them to do it.
Main thing for the character slot increase is for new expansions and events that we need to level in. Remix we needed to level one of each for the class halls if you wanted to get an easy unlock for all of them. There was also achievements setup for leveling all classes to max. Some of us already had a high number of characters at high level from the MOP Remix since it was easy to level characters. I know I am at max slots currently and we are getting a new Allied Race. Hopefully we get 5 more when Midnight starts and more if they do another remix at the end. Since otherwise would probably need to delete high level characters and reroll them if need to level all classes again.
