Comment by spmurcsBoooComment by TehLucarioeh, something. But I think a better choice is to make ranks 2 and 3 BoA. You get rank 1 from the source and you automatically get rank 2 or 3 if you had it on another character.Comment by Nomatter1289Na, i have no fun at this Relics. . . :/Comment by ZygosJesus... the grind sucks as it is for alts. But my main is rank 3 in all of them. They should have just unlocked rank 2 for all alts if you obtain rank 3 on one toon, and unlock rank 3 for all alts if you unlock rank 4 on one toon.Comment by TrietI'm more concerned about the essences that come from The Eternal Palace after it ceases to be relevant.Comment by knishNo please, make it account wide! :))Comment by RankeliIf they make it more easy to get them I am satisfied.Comment by DizellaWish they'd take the pvp island off the pvp one.
I have no interest in doing that sort of thing, so none of my toons have even the base level of that one.Comment by thejaykayI guess player agency doesn't apply to 8.3.Comment by pabasaL-A-M-E.

Having to farm essences for my alt is the biggest reason I gave up playing any of my alts. Every time I fire up my alts to do some M+, I thought no, they still don't even have that rank 3 iris, so I just log off and get back on my main to do the dungeon instead.Comment by HexelyionAfter you get rank 3 they should’ve been account wide.

Is this easier? Yes.
Does it solve the mindless grind of outdated content? No.
Will people start playing their alts more? To be seen.Comment by ShiladityaCTWould have been nice if it were account-wide, my alts only have Rank 1 Concentrated Flame. *sighs*
No money to sub to WoW and even when I am able to the time I can make out of rl to play is too less.Comment by pheonixxfoxxYou have got to be kidding me. The essence grind is why my alts are being neglected.Comment by Jadeikinsmy alts are neglected because getting some of the right essences is a complete pain even though I already have r3/4 of them on my main. I know a few people who are considering main swaps in 8.3 that are dreading getting the essences they need again on alts, the essence acquirement system is so heavily alt unfriendly that it borders on ridiculousComment by Spunkii12Account wide please! This is the whole reason I dont play my alts anymore - they all have rank 1 Concentrated flames and it sucks.Comment by Crump53Please nerf blood of the enemy, way too much grind for something I don't like to do for a BiS essence.Comment by BluenemesisFeelsBadMan rip my altsComment by gangrelpupNiceComment by Wedge187Everyone disliked that.Comment by ShriekmawAccount wide is best but this is a start.
