I have too many important things I need to do with my toon (blog, podcast, videos, livestreams) that starting all over again and only playing that was never even in my mind. As I explain in the post it was about consolidating all my play time onto one character.iiimjiiimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-14930888935053795582012-03-01T09:08:22.006-07:002012-03-01T09:08:22.006-07:00Um... so why not start a new character on a NEW SE...Um... so why not start a new character on a NEW SERVER, if you really want to get the feel of "new character"? Sorry, but if you say, "I can get stuff together for this new character, who has access to the guild bank, access to other stuff, etc etc etc", then you're not really leveling a "new character", you're leveling a "new alt", and there's a GRAND CANYON of difference between the two.<br /><br />My first toon a friend sent me a couple of 12-slot bags and 5 gold. I just started my 8th toon, day one he gets: Head, shoulders, chest and cloak, embersilk bags, 500 gold.... NOT THE SAME THING.<br /><br />I respect what you do on this site, but this is just.... bad....

To see how doing that might change how I play.<br /><br />As far as gold-making I will likely learn much mroe about the Eng and Ench markets over the next month as I only have them and flipping to make gold.<br /><br />I like to play in wacky playstyles sometimes.

My attention span lasts about a week per char. <br /><br />My goal for this expac is 10 level 85 characters and all professions maxxed. I'm just shy of 5 85's and the rest late-70's and early 80s. I have Eng, LW, and BS left to cap. <br /><br />I've played since vanilla off and on and this has been the most fun I've had because I'm no longer trying to conform to the herd's way of playing. I've never been on a raid. I rarely PvP, and I rarely enter heroic dungeons. My focus is on leveling alts, making gold, and exploring new things in the game.<br /><br />I have an RAF bonus to finish up so that puts a damper on things too - actually maybe I should commit to my one pair of characters I'm dual-boxing for the month of RAF I have left.Azeroth Underachieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733753784304120942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-60949759156059172212012-02-19T17:41:17.898-07:002012-02-19T17:41:17.898-07:00Good luck on it but I really dont get the purpose....Good luck on it but I really dont get the purpose. The advantage of multiple toons is to be able to have items you need made for you with your multiple professions. I dont see what is wrong to use another toon even if it is for gold making.<br /><br />Most of my guild wouldnt take kindly to me doing this as i like to craft people anything they need so they dont have to hit the AH.<br /><br />Nothing wrong with how you were playing unless you think there was.<br /><br />I will say I have always had my main character who I do everything with except selling on the AH. Yet at the same time I have a second raiding level character and these days with the ease of LFR I have three other well geared toons. I stopped doing heroics on my characters and just did lfr on a character that I wanted to gear up. My main toon has over 10k achievement points but just does his weekly raid. He is and will always be my focus. Everything else is a sideline including my gold making. I do what I think is fun. Sure I have more gold than most....nearing the 4mil mark....but that is just one small sideline of what I do. Gold making was only a purpose when I first tried to hit the old 214k gold cap. Otherwise I just enjoy playing wow. <br /><br />Have fun.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05684907179614745833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-15239024403327234322012-02-19T14:09:36.174-07:002012-02-19T14:09:36.174-07:00Keep us updated!Keep us updated!iiimjiiimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-67352500917294079532012-02-19T14:09:20.097-07:002012-02-19T14:09:20.097-07:00I hope so.
