Because WoW doesn't charge per character you create they dont want people filling up the server with mules. a lvl 40char isnt as much of a "Waste" of server resources as a lvl 1 auction/tradeskill runner. If you know what I mean.
I really hope this wasn’t one of Blizzard’s goals. If so then they have shot themselves in the foot by limiting bank space. I have two accounts. On my main server I have those 20 slots filled up with 8 characters and 12 bank alts that do nothing but sit in the bank and hold extra profession supplies and gear I’m saving for my active characters as they level. On my hoard server I have 3 characters and about 6 bank alts.
I can understand Blizzard trying to limit the number of characters practicing the higher end professions by making them more difficult to, well, practice. It’s a pain, but I can live with it. But if limiting the number of alts was one of their goals I think they’ve failed miserably. The only reason I created so many alts to begin with was so that I would have access to each of the professions.
On the other hand, it takes time to level up all those characters so that they can practice their professions. And the longer people play the more money Blizzard makes. I wonder if Blizzard ever thought of that. *grins*
