I have a single 120 toon on Echo Isles server, Ww by name. When she goes into the Chamber of the Heart she cannot see Mother as a vendor nor has she received ANY Echoes of Nyalotha at any time despite having only two lvl 3 essences in her Heart of Azeroth.
On Hyjal server I have ten 120s. All but Alnathprimus can see Mother as a vendor and have received Echoes, but Alnathprimus cannot see/do either. As I read the relevant blue post I believe that this is supposed to be how Mother and Echoes are supposed to work.
My friend on Echo Isles server has three Alliance 120s and six Horde 120s, yet ALL of them can see Mother as a vendor and has gotten Echoes on all of his 120 toons.
Can I get an explanation for the difference between what my friend can see/get while my “mains” on each server cannot see/get?

Your main doesn’t have anything to buy from MOTHER.
MOTHER only sells Rank3 essences to a toon that doesn’t have them, but another (main) toon already does. MOTHER’s merchandise is a catch-up for alts; you still have to unlock the specific essences by grinding them out with another toon.
If you have one character (a main) that’s earned all the Rank 3 essences available within your account, that character won’t get any benefit from MOTHER’s little shoppe of essences.

I was about to chime in to say my Shaman here as a main can see MOTHER as a vendor, but also hit me that my class does have the capacity to be a healer off-spec, so I’ll see the healer counterpart to some of the dps essences that I may buy.
Guess on that, classes dedicated solely to dps may not see MOTHER as a vendor as often as classes that can have a tank/dps/healer off-spec, depending on the main of the account.
Pretty sure that doesn’t matter.
Pretty sure this is the problem.
But it’s pretty plain that Ww doesn’t understand WHY that’s a problem.
OK, I think I can understand how all of my friend’s toons can see Mother as a vendor based on what Aggretsuko replied. My friend’s “mains” are an Alliance druid and a Horde paladin. He plays them only as DPS and so his mains haven’t worked on their tanking nor healer aspects, and thus can see Mother as vendor so that those roles could be caught up.
But the entire explanation using “main” and “alts” as terms is confusing if only because players may not play WoW exactly as implied by those terms. In fact a base part of my confusion was that I could not understand what Blizzard meant.
In reply to Sniperorc specifically: OK, because Alnathprimus and Ww are both hunters and have been declared my mains on their separate servers, each of them MUST use the long way to upgrade their lvl 1 Essences (they each have two) because they are ineligible for even earning Echoes of Nyalotha. I can accept that, but I will note that my friend’s “mains” can get Echoes and use them to buy lvl 3 Esssences from Mother. Since I only now in reading your replies have come to this understanding, I will ask him if on his paladin (I do not have a druid) if he cannot see a lvl 3 Essence on Mother that my paladin can.
If I were a betting man, I would bet that there will be no differences between Mother’s offering between our two paladins, thus his “mains” will not be required to go the long way.
