Why so many mercs each expansion? In general....

    And no reasonable way to level them up. We (the normal players) are not going to spend $100 to level up one merc, and if we did we would only do it once for the best merc. So again why so many mercs?

    I would love to buy different mercs to use just for the looks if you made it easier to level them, but wait, you made it so old ones are useless. Using the leveling system for a merc you are just about to the next expansion when they reach max level. For a single mercenary....... Who was the genius that thought of that?

    If you want us to buy more mercs then make them easier to level up and make them all valid. I would love to have several different looking mercs based on my mood for the day. Then maybe you won't see every single person in the game with the same boring looking merc running around.

    I -- a normal player-- am able to level up at least 4 mercenaries to level 20 and the rest to level 10, earning a battalion buff rating in the 50-60/100 range by the end of each expansion without needing to wait out the time or spend any money on crates. It doesn't bother me that I don't get to 100. The mercs can still do their jobs of keeping me alive and I feel strong enough.

    Luckily you need only one celestial merc for the buff at maximum. It would be great if the merces really have any difference

    I think the main gripe is there is so many cool looking ones but you're limited to the current best released. It only really matters in current expansion dungeons.
