Waiting for Classic to be fond of Alts again

Why is it that these terrible grinds are not account bound yet? I mean Heart of Azeroth and Azerite levels.

And before anyone suggests that classic wow is even worse with a grinds let me explain something for you Classic wow grinds are actually good.

BFA leveling: Lose power while leveling and get an ability every fifteen levels
Classic leveling: Actually gaining power as you level and abilities.

So please make these Azerite “features” account bound please

Meanwhile I’m sitting here wondering exactly how many grinds were account bound in Classic.

It doesn’t have a disgusting Azerite system, so it’s already infinity better. I will give you the benefit of the doubt because I’m sure you didn’t read but the leveling grind is actually fun in classic because you’re getting levels when I get to 120 in BFA you get rewarded with needing to grind azerite and heart of azerite.

It’s like going down a slide made of sand paper.

Main grind was just getting to max level. Once you did that you could start participating in most end-game activities.

Seems the issue people have now is they feel like the armor gearing process is enough and the other systems added on top are what’s too much.

Wow, not an answer to the question I asked.

Your statement is “grinding in BfA isn’t accountbound”

To which I responded, “what grinds in classic are account bound?”

Now you will answer with what grinds in classic are account bound. If your next statement is about “well it’s not azerite!” then I’ll just assume you don’t actually know what you’re talking about and move on with my day, cheers.

OP is specifically talking about alts and account bound grinds, not character progression.

Thanks.

Nothing is account bound in classic as achievements where not a thing.

Why not try and understand the spirit of the comment? Nobody likes a rules lawyer.

There is no account bound but in the prior post I was addressing your argument you were pushing not the question you asked.

Because I asked for specific proof of the statement being made which you failed to provide.

No, the question and argument was “What account bound grinds were there in classic.”

What you addressed was the argument you thought I was making.

I feel the OP is very easy to grasp, but I will re-iterate it for you.

I think that the current game is ridiculously alt un-friendly and it looks like I will have to wait for classic to actually enjoy alts again.

Want an alt? Take 2-3 months of leveling… in classic. So no this grind in BFA is not worst

Sorry, master, but again I have to ask - why choose to remain ignorant? If something doesn’t make sense just ask.

Don’t invent a framework from the most ridiculous interpretation of someone’s comments and then demand that people answer from within that framework.

How was grinding 58-60 in Silithis fun for anyone? What was rewarding about that? These Classic comparisons are very clearly not made by people who played that game with any actual effort. Alts in classic? For most having another max level character was impressive.

I don’t get it. Classic was the time I had the least amount of alts (two). I barely had time for them.

WAITING FOR CLASSIC TO BE FOND OF ALTS AGAIN

Why is it that these terrible grinds are not account bound yet?

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t invent anything. His framework is specifically about making grinds account bound. And stating that Classic would fix the problem.

You can keep asking if you want to keep being wrong.

But people actually liked the content that existed below 60. It was a grind, because it took so much time to actually get there, but it was really easy to get immersed in what you were doing along the way. Leveling in 2006 felt like playing an awesome video game. Right now leveling is essentially a chore that you have to do to unlock the actual game.

Who knows how that will hold up in classic. A ton of people coming in are the pservers heroes who have been leveling vanilla characters for a decade, and they may create a more end-game focused population, but hopefully there is still some enjoyment to be had in actually leveling.

I intended to make them more feasible and fun (not account bound), there’s nothing wrong with leveling it’s just when you get to max level you reach the worst grind of all Azerite.

Perhaps a different expac would have been a better example

How could I be “wrong” if I asked him what he meant and he told me? That concept doesn’t even apply.

BTW here’s what he clarified with:
