Make timewarped badges account wide.
What is the MoP timewalking soulshape?
We get 200 free badges per character per year, from the anniversary gift pack. If they were account-wide, that would be 60 x 200 = 12,000 free badges per year, making it trivial to purchase all the best rewards.
I definitely believe that time warped badges should be account bound. The Time walking events are what I mainly use to level alts. I have 8 characters with a moderate amount of badges each that are gathering dust
account wide time warped badges is low effort reward, you can still make those 5k with weeklies spread between multiple timewalking events and then just collect your rewards (dedicate each alt to some xpac and spend your badges)
Probably worth noting that the Pandaria reputation tokens purchasable with Timewarped Badge give 300 rep. And with the Anniversary event + DMF, those tokens give 384 rep.And combined with Grand Commendations (e.g. Grand Commendation of the Golden Lotus), alts can get 768 rep per token. Unlike most reputation buffs, the commendation seems to stack multiplicatively; at least it did with non-timewalking rep tokens (e.g. Stolen Klaxxi Insignia) when I tested them yesterday. If I'm correct, commended alts should be able to go from neutral to exalted with any Pandaria faction with 42,000 rep / 768 rep per token = 55 rep tokens, which costs 55 tokens * 50 timewarped badges per token = 2,750 Timewarped Badge.Emporer Shaohao tokens give 500 rep (instead of 300 like all others), requiring 3,282 timewarped badges (Shaohao doesn't have a grand commendation). Because the tokens are BoA it's easy to get them through multiple alts this week, and IMO that's much better than the actual Shaohao grind.
I’ve collected almost every timewalking mount. How? I simply look for the character that has the most badges and focus on them, running as many dungeons as I can with that character for the timewalking week.Was ai able to buy the mount? If yes, I focus on the character that now have the most badges, if not, rinse and repeat until I can.
I mean, there would be worse things than adding a way to account wide trade timewarped badges. They could even do it with taxes, like the current soul ash/flux implementation.But it's really not so hard to farm the badges. We have timewalking every three weeks, and you get 500 badges from the one time per id quest. That means to get a mount (and you start at 0) all you have to do is run one timewalking dungeon, so 10 dungeons (or roughtly 8 months later) you have enough badges for a mount. And its fully parallelizable, so if you do it with 6 chars you can get all timewalking mounts in 8 month. Do it now with 7 and you are prepared for when they add BFA timewalking somewhen midpatch in DF.
