We can do them already, nothing new and/or being exited about. You can hold flags with your unlocked xpoff tink or you can recycle tink.
You think you do but you don't.
12 character limit increase
Connected realms is the solution if you do not have enough space. This counts atleast for me and I am having all slots used on a few accounts so nothing new or being exited about. Character amount cap change would be nice though.
Pvp gear does not change, just being taken away in instanced pvp and replaced with templates that can be tuned by Blizzard cause of conveniance and the messed up game that can not be balanced. Not even with templates. Just a way to put lesser people on the tuning part of classes and specs by flipping easy switches and taking personal tuning away from the player all for economizing costs.
Personally I hugely dislike the path they are going specially after over a decade of tinkering, all the faction and race changes done was just throwing money at them for no cause with as result the removal of oldschool tinkering fully and change it into ilvl stacking. It takes personal tuning out of the game and it leaves just 1 build left for your class and spec. They are just cutting the choices we make with tinkering and with pvp in general. It is ducking awefull specially after we got the status of supported play style and that will simply be gone by removing xpoff battlegrounds and enhancing for instanced pvp.
Only positive thing about all of this is that we can play the 10-19 bracket on a free to play leveling character with being equal to paying customers and maby on our locked experience tinks as a veteran and dust off our benched tinks in other dead brackets, hopefully. Seeing most EU's leveling brackets now, they are pretty much dead or with high average queue times. Character boosts don't do any good either for this situation nor will a new expansion pack where everyone will be busy with.
Comparing pros and cons; there are just to many cons and Blizzard taking the easy road again and ofcourse lowering costs to min/max profits.
Btw
People and Blizzard seem not to realise that players, like most in this community, will start to drive new and leveling players out again, not with overpowered gear and other enhancements but with making premade setups, simul queue 2 x 5 mans and teamspeak in a pug environment which will get bigger and bigger, more and more. It will simply make it annoying and stupid to even play unless you have a team of your own. It will be like setting RBG players lose in random battlegrounds and expect players to know the meta and adapt wich will make the tinker pros annoyed, getting toxic and will give our play style a bad name again.
Blizzard and y'all think that you want this but you really don't.
I hope it will work out for XPOff.com and may you have a lot more members comming with Legion. I just hope it won't turn into what I am predicting above and that it will work out in the long run.
Happy gimpering!
