The "new viewpoint" Hazzikostas WOTLK Gold mentioned looks to be a more thorough understanding of what World of Warcraft players are looking to remove from the long-running MMO. Whether it's the host of alt-friendly upgrades being introduced in the patch 9.1.5 or the removal of the rigid, ineffective system like Conduit Energy Hazzikostas appeared more conscious than ever of the fact that players' expectations have changed over the past two decades between when World of Warcraft first burst onto the MMO scene.

He recalled how, in the early days that were the beginning of World of Warcraft , few players would create alternate characters and nearly no game-related achievements were accounts-wide. There was a predominate belief on the developer side that players had to be invested in their character, and everything in the game was carried out on a per-character basis. In the present, Hazzikostas says that the vast majority of players have an average of two or three characters that they regularly play.

"I believe that we have at times stuck too tightly to these ways of life, many of that were ingrained in us by our former bosses, many of them founders or members of the team, of the importance of the investment into your character and using your character as the lenses through which you see our world,"" Hazzikostas said. "Increasingly, what we've been receiving from the players is, you know what I view the world through my own eyes as a person sitting in front of the computer, and I've done this questline, and I enjoyed it the first time, however, I'm not going to attempt this again. And if you make me do it again, I don't wish to play the role even once."

This is the point at which patch 9.1.5's numerous alt-focused changes come in. Players will be able to skip the expansion's introduction questline after having completed it with a different character. Players who have reached maximum reputation with a Covenant can freely change Covenants between alts. Additionally, players will be granted the ability to cheap WOW WOTLK Classic Gold upgrade their levels while in the expansion's roguelite or dungeon Torghast.
