Has any point in WoW's history been this Alt unfriendly?

Well alt friendliness is really the ease in which it is to switch characters not specifically raid, which is still easier now than vanilla

You got the gold needed if you didnt spend it on random stuff, just from doing all the content while leveling. If you survived off dungeon loot/drops it was pretty easy.

You switch characters and progress from level 1. That isn’t alt unfriendly, in itself.

In current WoW, leveling barely involves progress, it’s mostly a number that grows with you. It has no real affect, so it doesn’t share a comparison.

I’d disagree. When I did alts back in the day, alts were just other classes that I was leveling throught the game that eventually hit cap. The ability to catch up post end game is what really matters, imo.

Which is significantly easier in BFA for the reasons I listed earlier today.

Again, you’re arguing feelings.

Subjective in its entirety.

You look for the things to have meaning for you as an individual, leveling is merely a means to an end. Gear is a means to an end. This game has never had any real depth to bring more meaning to any of those things.

But that’s off topic as again, it isn’t dealing with the actual act of getting another alt ready, based on whatever standard you may have.

It isn’t about how it makes you feel when you’re doing it, or how meaningful it is or how happy you are to do it, but the factual question on whether it is easier in BFA to get an alt ready, which it completely is. (Barring the caveats I listed earlier, which, as I listed earlier, are only done by the smallest percentages of people in the game and thus, has no real affect on the majority).

This was how it was back then, expansions merely piled on more stuff for us to do, but they also added mechanisms in place to make it easier, with WOTLK being the turning point on making everything all around easier. Since then it’s been all downhill in terms of ease.

Dude.

Not true for classic.

Again, subjective.
It is not true for you!

I played Vanilla, I played Classic.

Leveling is just a means to an end.

Yes, it is, lol. How I feel trying to replay BFA solo content, is tired. It makes me feel, like I don’t want to be bothered playing.

That is the problem

You’d skip 59 levels of progress so that you can complete 2 raids?

Which has NOTHING to do with the EASE of getting an alt ready.
Only how you FEEL about the process.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it objectively more difficult.

That’s because you have a clear misunderstanding of what alt unfriendly means.

On an alt?
Easily.
Vanilla/Classic has no true replay value when you’ve already seen things on one character. It’s why I left Classic so fast.
Already played that rerun.

Have you read this thread like at all?
I’ve already been through this with the op, we are talking factual processes, not feelings.

How about the other zones that you didn’t play the first time?

How about unlocking new spells and talents on a class that you are not familiar with?

It sounds like you personally don’t enjoy leveling in classic. Could that be a feeling?

Yea because it doesn’t do any of that unless you’re one of the top pve or pvp players.

When you progress in pve and pvp, you will eventually be outmatched by those who have completed those tasks.

Unless you’re content staying at a base level.

Which is where 90% of players play at.

Classic is nothing but a rerun to milk people for their cash by capitalizing on their nostalgia.
I did everything there is to do in Classic on Vanilla and even then, it lacked any depth (remember, I come from older mmos that actually took work).

I don’t enjoy or enjoy leveling in Classic, it is what it is. Leveling is and always will be a means to an end.

Well, I guess the other 10% want to progress on their alts without being restricted to complete boring play.

Now who’s moving off topic.
