I had to tell my returning player friend that he couldn't play Lightforged yet

lots of people unlocked AR they wont play just for the sake of unlocking it.

just accept that lots of people don’t have a problem to having to farm/grind to unlock stuff and there is even some that think this make the rewards even better because it makes it more unique.

I do believe that after BFA the AR requirements will be lessen or even removed and the reason that legion AR is still a thing is because they were actually introduced during BFA pre patch so they are BFA content, if they don’t change how AR are unlocked in the xpac I suggest you create another thread and you’ll probably see more people joining your cause

yeah we have this since wrath, like I said if its worst with AR its another debate but having to unlock characters is something that this game has for quiet some time
