Great change to account wide. Should have been that way from the start.
I was thinking refund but that works too.

Nah, some people just don't want to spend time to learn new characters. They can play their main character and feel safe playing it. I don't think it is solely because of those extra levels.

WoW is the easiest game to have multiple characters for.

Because honestly if you've played WoW before LFD(Which you imply you did) there's no way you can honestly say it ruined WoW and even if you're dumb enough to think it did, there's absolutely no way you can look at LFD and think it promotes 1 character play. Nothing about LFD says "play only this character no others". WoW has been alt friendly for a very very long time. When they stopped using keys and attunements is when it became alt friendly, further aided by BoA items for rep and leveling and now in MoP even further aided by increased valor and rep gains for all characters on the account, not to mention the new timeless isle items. I can only assume your "experience" since resubscribing is from some non-capped character with no alts because what you just said makes no sense.

[QUOTE=Wii60;42256269]i skipped cataclysm and got back in via pandaria. the people i know who play the game only use one character. the only reason they have alts is to store stuff.[/QUOTE] So in other words, I was correct. No alts, not capped. Just because they choose to only have one character doesn't mean WoW is focused on one character and you're punished for having 2. [QUOTE]all the cities seem like giant queue simulators to me for dungeons/raids.[/QUOTE] And before LFD they were the same thing, except it required spamming the chat for 20 minutes to get what you wanted. Pre-LFD wasn't more social or had more people out in the world. If anything LFD should encourage people to get out in the world more because they don't have to stand in a city all day to get a group now. Cities are only useful for the AH, pugs and the occasional trade chat item sell/buy, all of which are standing around waiting for someone else.
I don't get why of all games people would have issues with alts in diablo 3 - it's not like previous games where there's any point to having multiple of the same class, AFAIK there's not a single aspect of permanent customization in D3
because you spend a shitload of money on gear so if you play other characters you feel like you're losing out on precious xp and shit so you feel like you get your monies worth +ah/rmah intensifies this, if you have a character with a shitload of expensive gear, you never want to leave it because you can get shit faster, so if you get that amazing item you can sell for alot, you dont want to play another class that will farm slower due to less expensive gear
