WHY exactly is there a cap on active order hall followers?

When the maximum amount of available followers doesn't even reach the double digits?
Benching Nesingwary right after you recruit him sure is awesome gameplay.

To throttle progression and to make players feel less likely to burnout.

It's as awesome as the follower mission gameplay can get. It literally can't be better than that, that's how bad it is in the first place.

Because dispatching some extra followers on one or two missions at most on a daily basis causes burnout now? What really? Honestly I get why there was a cap in WoD, but in Legion it seems really redundant to have on with max followers being so low and more for the sake of having a cap just for having one. Might as well have made 5 followers for each class and not have some artificial barrier to reduce fun and break immersion.

They tried to make it different as possible from WoD but what ended up happening is they severely gimped Order hall missions.

The fact that they not only include follower missions, the most hated aspect of WoD, but made them even more integral to the endgame process than ever, shows just how out of touch Blizzard is.

People really hated WOD version of this where you had slightly over two dozen followers and 10 ships on top of that. A total of 35 per character. It's an intimidating number, with even sillier numbers of missions you can do per day.
So now they went with minimalistic approach. You have very few followers, lengthy mission timers and few missions to choose from. This way the system won't ever get too rewarding and mandatory. Atm I don't even have to bother with those follower missions. I CAN choose to play the system but I don't HAVE to do that.

In WOD it was 100,000 gold per week with eleven characters. It single-handedly paid for the monthly subscription fee and left you with over 300,000 spare. Now if that isn't mandatory then I don't know what the fuck is.

Agreed.
In before someone tells you that it is "optional" or not important.
