Q u o t e:
I'm curious if the subject of getting attuned to various instances/raids in regards to alts has ever come up in any dev meetings. I can understand the function of attunement in regards to progress/gear checking and in ensuring certain instances still see use.
As someone who enjoys the game (perhaps a bit too much) I have 2 70's and a couple on their way. I'm really not looking forward to kara keying all of them. This isn't a huge complaint, more of an annoyance. Has anything been looked at like making attunement/keying be account wide after your 1st or 2nd keying?
Just curious.
The subject of attunement comes up all the time. We're researching design and technical options for the future when it comes to attunements. For example, we'd love it if once you earned your Karazhan Key or Heroic Keys, your max level alts had access to those areas as well. If we had the ability to do this, we probably would have left Heroic attunement at Revered rather than Honored.
We're also exploring the concept of guild or raid attunements as well. No promises here. There are many hurdles that need to be overcome before we'd be able to implement these (design and technical limitations).
We're very interested in doing more dynamic server events to open up content as well. The Sunwell Barriers are a good example of this, or the AQ War (only replace the massive collections with a series of cool, fun daily quests).
I can't make any promises for Lich King, as we are still undecided. But the topic of attunement comes up all the time here. We want to do a better job and are currently exploring the options.
