20k+ echoes on alt at start of change vs main with 0.
Tell us what happens in this situation if gushing wound, TD3, IT, or vers/ramp vers are on vendor at start.

So, this doesn’t benefit my main character at all? Because they haven’t been able to earn Echoes this entire time?

Late but i’ll take it.
It’s a major flaw that all weekly cache and horrific vision loot is uncorruptible, therefore is useless unless it already rolled the preferred corruption. This means that mythic raiders who have received uncorrupted loot will be able to utilize this system far more than mythic+ players.
I hope that is fixed quickly!

Or, better yet, instead of implementing any of these fixes please just divert your resources and dev time fully to Shadowlands instead of trying to fix this dumpster fire of an expansion with an equally bad fanbase. Just don’t implement this buying essences nonsense and just stop putting any time into an expansion that is fundamentally tainted with hate and laziness.
Move on.

But everything is also priced 5x higher?
Do you guys not understand that introducing a factor of 5 to both the gains and the costs is literally the same thing? tell me how you “want to ensure that players who haven’t felt the need to accumulate them don’t feel disadvantaged” when everything will be literally the same as if you hadn’t changed it?

So those of us who grinded to get all of our essences are being punished since we weren’t allowed to stockpile Echos?
And those who didn’t care to max out their essences are being rewarded for not trying to play all the content? Many of them will have over 20k at this point.
They need to give those of us on our mains a Stimulus check of at least 20k Echos!

Also why are you putting in this restrictions. Right now I don’t have to do the cloak questline to start earning echoes. Some of that cloak questline content is crap to do without essences which is basically what you are forcing upon people.
These are very bizarre decisions.

This is the same team that reduced the cost of azerite pieces by 10x, but also reduced the accumulation of TR by 10x, and then called it a change that was supposed to help players.

I mean I don’t disagree with you; this should’ve been added three months ago. But it is what it is, and it’s a huge improvement over the current state.
Still a ridiculous overcomplicated and terrible system that I still have no desire or intention of participating in.

So in other words the system is effectively useless for majority of the items acquired already.
Got it!

You die inside a little and then keep playing without them like you’ve been doing so far.
an improvement doesn’t mean the situation is fixed. It’s all relative.

This reads as a trial balloon.
They had to realize a lot of people have mains with 0 Echoes. I welcome the idea, and targeted corruptions is long overdue, but penalizing the people doing the content on one character is an issue.
Reset or change the currency would be my vote – would solve a whole host of problems.
Though I will say I guess I got lucky in that most of my mythic cache items didn’t have any corruption.

Some of us have an alt with thousands banked, what game activity accrues me literal thousands of echoes in “maybe an hour”?

Blizzard, this system is indeed something that needs to be implemented but please consider some of my points below as I would love to continue playing WoW, but after reading this post I feel completely neglected as a player. So please hear me out. We are tired of time gated RNG content. Every week it’s disappointment after disappointment as I check off each source of getting a corrupted piece of gear yet never seeming to be able to obtain what I am grinding to get. I would love for this purchasable corruption system to be in place but please do not neglect our main characters.
Yes, this is great. ALL MAX-LEVELED CHARACTERS should not be forgotten, including the ones that are already grinding current content and have no echos.
If you plan to expand this currency please consider wiping it completely from all Characters or reconsider using this currency altogether. Why? Because Echos were for Alts to catch-up on neck essences. Meaning our primarily played mains were unable to accumulate this currency. This feels extremely unfair for players who have been grinding your current content for the desired corruptions. Therefore this currency NEEDS to be wiped or allow mains to purchase corruptions with mementos because that is the currency we use to cleanse corruption.
Yes please, this is a great addition to the game. Player agency should always be available to combat bad unlucky RNG.
Please reconsider this, as having a rotating merchant system does not make any sense to players who are limited in grinding a currency that you are adding at the end of the expac. This just feels terrible, imagine being short on currency the week the corruption you have desired since 8.3 dropped and you have no idea when it will come back but you missed it.
I look forward to Blizzard’s changes to our response of this post. I really hope Blizzard will consider the effort and feelings of players who had been grinding current content.

You do understand the issue though right? Like you can critically think and understand how this is extremely unfair to a lot of people.
