Lately the low grumbling of discourse has turned to Anima, the slow-to-farm resource to purchase cosmetics and fun quality of life perks. Not so suddenly we hear a call for an account wide sanctum, anima sharing and multipliers to speed up the process.
Here’s my response.

Want to point out that the whole "change redeemed souls into anima rewards" hits a snag for people who switch covenants.
Nice try ShillSoBreezy
Just subbed, I will never come between an individual and their favorite ice cream, that's unforgivable!
My biggest bitch is gearing I do 7 keys and get 0 loot makes me not want to do keys. I am now leveling a monk just yanking dungeons I am level 55 and I have got 4 pcs of gear that are upgrades and this toons ilvl was 100. This is why I say its not as alt friendly as BFA. I find it frustrating to complete a dungeon and get 35 anima what a JOKE…I could care less about anima I go get it it when I want. I just want to be able start doing keys and raiding. for example I ran +2 or 3 HOA 10 time before I finally got the neck I wanted and the great vault is a JOKE as well seems like I get same slot ever damn week in 3 choices. I dont like to pvp so that don't work for me
Anima in calling quest chests…boom. Something like 100 and I'd feel a bit better.
My gripe about anima is that if you don’t get loot from a mythic + dungeon or a raid boss you get 35 anima. But some world quests you literally sneeze at gives you anywhere from 35 to 140 anima. If you ask me, the anima rewards for the dungeons and raids should have a higher drop than world quests. It’s like saying they think the world quests are harder and worth a bigger reward than mythics and raids.
Anima is fine for sanctum upgrades, but it just feels bad needing it for renown rewards and such. You get your renown up only to unlock the ability to buy it.
They've made improvements, that doesn't mean its alt friendly
Some people asked for an end to the grind. Not a dozen smaller, drip feed grinds. Putting a cap on the grind is one thing, making the amounts you can get per window, insulting small is another. Time vs reward my guy.
I hope they don't increase the rate we stockpile anima. It's supposed to be a scarce resource.
I love farm gold, mostly raw gold, I love transmog, I love have alot of alts.
There was a reason why people had seperate servers up for classic. They liked classic not burning crusade or anything after that. By progressing the game more, they're going to lose what makes classic classic.
Bob is bob i have now engaged and hope the youtube gods will bless this video. Sorry to the souls who had to read this
MORE BOB YEETS
Maw questline takes about 1 hour to complete. It grants ok xp and lets you remember the buttons on your alt. All the fuss around it, imho, isn’t worth its salt.
Here's the problem with the anima drip though: The pure amount of time it takes to get these rewards. Even just upgrading the sanctum will likely be days of playtime worth of getting that anima. If there isn't an "anima knowledge" the amount of time it takes to unlock these rewards is just ridiculous.
most of the time i just farm gold, the old fashion way by actualy doing stuff like farming herbs and ores. O and i levelup alts whenever i dont do that.
The least alt friendly thing is probably legendaries. Soul ash is a chore, and the max level ones are really expensive. Otherwise seems good
Its a system which in every expansion people dislike, no different with anima
Even if you ONLY did the the 1000 anima weekly, you’d still be able to buy absolutely everything by the end of the xpac
TBC should open on a new server but with the database snapshotted in the day of release and poured over to the new TBC side so you can continue on where you left off in VANILA into TBC or if you decide its not for you and you preferred VANILA the characters are still there as you left them.
you talk a lot, but you don't say much.
I enjoy the fact, that you don’t yell at us LOL.
Just allow us to trade redeemed souls for anima, fixed.
Also, I think current AP is an obvious mistake; would blizz really give us 15 redeemed souls that they expected us to be unable to use?
No, those extra soils are clearly meant to be exciting to us, and right now they are not, since we are realistically unable to use the souls we get right now
For Classic BC, blizz will review the tons of data they got back from their survey, then ask the bean counters how they can make the most money, and do it that way.
I'm still running island expeditions for the random drop rewards and the dubloons
Hey Soul, always enjoy watching your content, my wife and I have been playing wow ever since vanilla and other than xmog/gold farming one of our favorite things to do is two man new content dungeons, always satisfying to down a boss with only two peeps. Reminds us of soloing old raid content before the buff systems
We need more Bob!
Yay you did druid! 😀
I totally agree on the anima stuff…. I'm in no hurry to buy all the mounts (even though obviously I need them) just because I foresee a time in the near future when we'll have too much anima and nothing to buy. I mean the part of me that wants everything NOW is impatient, but the logical part of me is content to see how things play out and be patient.
Agree 👍
The issue with arguing that PVP should be included in how Alt-Friendly the game is at the moment is that a lot of people hate PVP.
I personally LOATHE PVP. Feeling forced to do it to gear up an alt because Blizzard is being so stingy with gear drops fucking sucks.
I yell at the bread vendor in stormwind and tell him nobody wants his bread. i've also ticketed a gm in hopes of getting him removed from the game. all in all, I am trying to literally kill an npc in the game.
