More power to the people who have tje time and dedication to have a plethora of equiped alts. I know there are advantages like more gathering and production professions and the ability to collect more collectables. But I am perfectly happy playing the one class/race I enjoy most and spend all of my time playing it…

Cool. Some people prefer to play alts to keep having fun, not everyone likes “one character for all”.

Just wait until Blizzard breaks your class/spec and refuses to fix it for two expansions.

You can. It just won’t be as powerful as my main that I do 10x more content on.

Ya but getting each character to high ilvl and obtaining all of the things that make it powerful should be difficult. I just see alot of opinions that it should be easy.

Basically this. I’d like to have my druid and warlock able to try the new raid once it comes out.

Variety. If I had to play 1 character all the time WoW would get super boring.

It already is easy. That’s why I’m not even worried about gearing up at 415.
High ilvl is easy and has never been easier. What’s getting gated is key class features and abilities that make you functional. Azerite, essences, and corruption are our substitute for class development, and they came at the cost of outright gutting development we used to have.
The power scale of azerite and essences used to be in the baseline talent tree and spellbook.

Agreed, especially when they make all these new fancy races.
And treat it as the main selling point.
Well the simple reason is that if you grind on one class that you realize has been nerfed to oblivion, and another class is simply more optimal for raiding, you need to be able to change to something that does the best damage possible.
I am just lucky for me, I rarely get called out for bad healing, I only ever had one tank out of the 100s of pug tanks insult me last patch for bad heals.
No they didn’t. It’s the same development. They are trying to avoid the power creep that used to occur.
Or have we forgot that already?
It’s always been this way… I guess I am the only one that remembers re-rolling for fear-ward or tauren melee.

I doubt anyone is complaining they can’t just make their alts the same ilevel as their main, they are complaining because it’s frustrating the amount of busywork needed for all these accessory systems to get your spec at a strong relative power level. Things beyond just gearing.
I don’t even want to level anything new at this point and face having to do Nazjatar/Mechagon yet again.

Tell that to guardian druids, lol.
This on top of specs getting nerfed left and right due to PVP QQ. I still play what’s fun to crack the code but streamer following min/max weenies suck the fun out of the game gatekeeping any class spec combo from raids or m+ that doesn’t adhere to some E-peen meta. At least with an on par alt,you can have a chance to properly progress on one until the other gets buffed back to normal…at least until PVP salt begins again.
Also,it gives the game replay value to play and progress an alt when you’re low on things to do.
I like having a healer class available to me as well in case it’s needed for something or I want a change of pace. Ideally I’d also have a ranged class ready as well for similar reasons.
Certain game mechanics push you toward alt play because of diminishing returns.
For example, it is faster to farm honor on multiple geared alts because of the bonus you receive for winning the first match.

You mean they aren’t the hands down best tank for another xpac? The horror…
Also guardian is actually pretty good.
