I already explained above what I did with around 50 characters yesterday, and today I’ll be playing on different characters because this is what is important/fun in the game to me.
Not everyone just wants a couple of powerful toons to run mythics on. Some of us play WoW as a multiplayer RPG, and enjoy crafting, questing with friends, doing whatever holidays are up, gathering, pet battling, leveling.
I’ve always been puzzled by people who complain about having nothing to do, There is always heaps I’m working on and looking forward to, but I’m like that IRL too.
I don’t care whether or not Blizzard increases the account limit. It would be nice, but I can live with having 2 full accounts. It just means I’m unlikely to make any new allied races.
What I care about here is the supercilious arrogance of people who claim to know what other people are - or should be - doing, when playing a game with so much variety in it.
You don’t know that proving “anything” to “anyone” would change “anything” so you have not provided a way to solve “anything”. Unless, of course, you are speaking as a Blizzard employee.
That really depends on how much of the available infrastructure is being used to store character data and how expensive it is to expand it. Unfortunately I think that most of the accountants and tech officers at Blizzard aren’t going to say that demand is high enough to increase character slots outside of the +1s that we get when a new race / class comes out.
I have no hard data on what percentage of the player base is even within 80% of max characters created, but I am willing to bet it is a pretty small number. Most players are like myself who manage 1-2 alts or maybe half a dozen at max level.
They don’t have a case, it is obvious by now. People are like me and they have 10 characters or more below level 10, then there are others that have a whole bunch of lvl 1s holding names. Blizzard has all the information on that stuff and that is why they don’t see a need to do this.
Sure you might find a couple of hundred people who ‘sort of play’ 50 characters but they barely touch the real game. Some of them will be playing the AH and those people certainly can afford another account.
Ya, sadly that seems to be the truth of it. Part of me was really hoping to see some one actually demonstrate their ability to play 50 plus, but its pretty clear no one here is able to do that.
I have 35 toons at 120, 5 at 111, and then others still leveling.
on each server I always have a low level bank/AH toon. Yes I play them all. my 120s have done all zone story lines in BFA, and the war campaign. I dont play each one every day, I do what I need to do where I think i should on any particular day. Been playing since 2004 so not hard to get this many toons over time. I will soon have a few more.
I wouldnt mind seeing a cap of 75, but even raising up to like 60 per account would probably cover a lot of people.
Your incapability to actually read anything that points out something other than what you already believe makes me question the integrity of the MVP title.
I don’t actively have 50 characters. I’m pointing out that your weird contention that more slots should only be available if people are actively playing 50 characters is NOT the problem that people are running into, and that if you fail to look at it from a different perspective then you are just being intentionally ignorant.
Which, judging from your posts here, you obviously are.
Why do you have a low level ah/bank toon ? Why can’t one of your max level character do that function and then you have room to make more. Also what do you actually need more for anyway.
My friend has been playing about that long as well and he very often has to delete characters when he wants to make more but he just does not play most of them at all.
I am actually being intentionally obtuse here, in order to try to get those who originally were worked up about this topic to take it serious enough to make an effort to prove their point.
If that’s not you, sorry if you got caught up in the crossfire.
Either way, that IS the problem here. It was suggested the cap should be raised, and development expressly stated that no one can actively play or need 50 characters, so they see no reason to increase the cap.
Some here are debating that, and I am attempting to encourage them to take that debate to the next level, like was done to resounding success in Legion.
I guess I’m barking up the wrong tree though.
If it were me, and some one was constantly telling me I was lying, I would have gone out of my way to correct them.
I’ll assume I’m just a different type of person, because if I don’t assume that, I have to assume they are embellishing the reason for this discussion.
…which is a good answer and also shows the REAL reasoning behind 50 cap.
If you want to make 51 or more, you need to cough up some more buck$.
If the account limit was raised, no extra moo-lah.
Smart and simple business model, easily explained.
I don’t have numbers for it (obviously) but I would bet that most accounts have ~10-20 characters, with the average account having maybe 2-4 placeholder names. So it’s obvious that not everyone relates to the “I’m out of room!” complaint, and this discussion doesn’t particularly pertain to them. I don’t think it is something that people should be arguing against solely because they don’t relate to WHY new spaces should be added.
I do not think that the 50 character cap has needed adjusting PRIOR TO them adding 8(!) and possibly more races in one expansion. Altoholics are big part of WoW, and people become attached to characters, even if they haven’t played them in quite some time.
I also don’t think it needs something so drastic as to double, but it is easy to see how someone could be knocking on 50 characters with the new races being added. This is why I often throw out 60 in these situations. It’s not a HUGE number to add to an account, but it IS enough to give those people who have played and fallen in love with all these characters a little wiggle room for the new races being added.
Of course, if I worked at Blizzard, I would base this decision entirely off whether or not there were more Allied Races being introduced.
