Harcore Plus

I know it just launched but they should add features like account wide bank and class talent trees.
I could see myself playing this consistently and setting up support characters but doing it all via mail is kinda scuffed.

Some players don’t do this. It’s not required but you are able to choose to do so.
The talent trees native to Classic are fine.

Maybe it would be more attractive to you if they provided retail hardcore servers with the retail niceties.

I was thinking more about creating account wide progression sort of end-game… A rogue like approach
They could just put check boxes to opt out if account wide binding or use the addon if you’re a purist.

Sounds like that could work for you.

you’re thinking of something that alters the relation between player and characters BUT there is room for inovation.

tons of room for something great in there. might work.

this could take us away from RPG and into Direct-Control Godmode gameplay… (think Chess RPG).

It’s already happening via mail. Soon people will have enchanted whites and junk.
Might as well make it more accessible to average players rather than bot farm/rmt
Talents is just for fun
