Nice update. Really wish they would have realized it at the start instead of doing it as an aftertought, but still appreciated.I got my second flute yesterday, when this news was already out. Should have paid attention haha. Only got it on 2, and only have 2 more alts at max level so for me it's not really a big deal.I hope Blizzard will implement something like in MoP, but only after the expansion, to make rep for alts easier. Like a boost to rep gained, or tokens that you can buy for alts when exalted. I don't need to get it in my lap, but if I've already done it on one character I do not see the need to fully do it on others as well.Also rewards are usually accountwide so I don't really see the point to reps not being account wide in some way.
Nice to see this finally implemented, as others have said should have been from the start.Look forward to taking advantage if they ever sort out the 'We want as much content as possible to be account wide BUT we have fixed loads of WQs on Argus behind story and we are incapable of undoing it'. I have done the story twice and that's enough for me, without flying anyway.
Thank god. This will help immensely with running into unneeded mob as you make your way back to each portal.
I think it's a ruse to cover up a failure. Devs were simply trying to see how much they can get away with, and likely failed miserably. Argus is annoying and boring, and the added insult of having to run out of everywhere further turned people off and encouraged abuse.I only saw some genuine interest in the first 2 weeks.Now, when I take my main out for some elites, and make a group (why not help someone, I will be killing that thing anyway) I very rarely get anyone to join in the 3-odd minutes it takes to prep the stage and kill a rare.The only ones joining are the chest snatchers.Chest snatchers are the only thing that Blizz devs managed to exponentially propagate by their approach of making stuff scaled, hard, and requiring 2-way travel.What are chest snatchers? People who 1) find chest 2) loot it 3) use certain addon to realm hop using nearby quest groups, and find other realms where that chest is also up 4) loot it again 5) rinse and repeat.This is the best and fastest way to farm the 910 tokens now, without even moving at all.Oh, you wanted to just get a quest done? Sorry, they're now designed so hard as to REQUIRE a group because people were grouping for quests so much... just, everyone joining will be there just for a moment, checking a chest spawn, then gone.
Awesome news. Woulda hate having to buy that 12 times.
Excellent, I'll look into getting it now - I had decided early on that it was silly difficult to get on alts so I never even got it on the mains. It was clearly going to get fixed as it was stupid. And even one rep grind seems weird given the other flute was free and also that we will never be able to fly in Argus... But one rep grind I can deal with.
As far as rep grinding goes, I always thought the Mists of Pandaria Grand Commendation system worked well.Also, once you hit Exalted with a Legion faction, the reputation tokens you can get from Champion Missions become BoA. Of course, then it becomes a choice between leveling an alt or stacking on Paragon reputation, but life is full of tough choices.But yes, having the Argus flightmaster whistle become account-wide was brilliant.
