Legion Remix is ruined by lack of Warband mechanics

To start off my post, I have to say I actually enjoyed legion Remix, so the title is a bit of a hyperbole. The first two or so weeks were great, it was a lot of fun to play and I enjoyed both world and instanced contents. Big ups for making cosmetics easy to get aswell.

However, after about 3-4 weeks, I started getting a bit of class jealousy (went shaman) and wanted to try out other classes. Only to realize what a massive grind it would be to get any alts anywhere close to the level of my shaman, and being able to do solo content (raids, m+ etc) easily.

Fine, whatever, I'll wait later on. They're bound to add alt catchup at some point. They'll realize it was a mistake to add a massive grind that's character specific (original legion call-back), with no catchup mechanics for alts. Except, phase 3 rolls around, no catchup. Phase 4, nothing. Finally, we get phase 5 this week, no catchup.

To me it's not about being able to clear raids, I know there's tons of n / h / m groups etc that take people of all gear levels. Remix should be a time to just go nuts, enjoy and try out different classes, different specs. Except, they're all locked behind a massive grind. Yeah, you can hit 80 in about 2 hours, but getting to a decent gear takes about another 24h of game time spread over two weeks of daily raiding. For a single character. For a limited time event.

I've really wanted to try out mage, druid, DK, DH, heck maybe even rogue. But I'd rather eat my arm than grind up another character to +200 vers.

This feels like a huge missed opportunity for Blizzard, and there was absolutely no reason to not make IP warband-shared, atleast by P5. Or atleast add some serious catch-up mechanics in place.
