I have alts. I want to play my alts. But Blizzard keeps designing these expansions and content drops so that you hinder your progress unless you dedicate to a single character.
Unlocking stuff like flight account-wide is nice, but anything else you do on your character in terms of progression is always locked to that character. If you play an alt, you’re slowing down your progression. It shouldn’t be like that.
I wish WoW was like some other MMOs in that your progress is part of a “stable” of your characters, rather than just an individual character. So that we aren’t punished for wanting to have some diversity in our gameplay.
I really wish they’d stop punishing people who want to change things up.

This would be great! However it would drastically cut down on time /played and you might log off and see the sunshine so it will never happen

They don’t do account-wide reputation gain specifically because it’d encourage playing multiple characters for current content to get ahead on reputation.
Just having all the perks unlock after reaching it once is fine.
ion said and promised that everything but gear progression will be account wide in dragonflight

I’m struggling to think of anything important that’s tied to reputation that isn’t account-wide when you unlock it on your main.
I guess conduits…but I feel like a broken record when I say that conduit upgrades are absolutely miniscule compared to simply having one of any level socketed in.
I always wanted it so I could buy bop crafting recipes on all my alts with varying professions I’ll probably never use just for the sake of collecting all the things.

I don’t necessarily believe reputation needs to be account-wide. If we make rep account-wide, then those who actually want to re-live the rep progression on alts can’t do it.
Instead, I believe ALL reputation rewards/quartermaster vendor items should be Bind on Account. Players who don’t want to grind rep can still get the rewards on alts. Those who want to grind rep can do so.
I can’t speak for others but for me its an OCD thing all of the bars have to be the same.
I’m already irritated by the different faction ranks (best friends vs exalted) and not being able to sort them as well as some factions being hated.
I don’t know why it’s not.
Mounts, pets, transmogs, titles, toys and tabards are shared. My level 10 allied race can ride the Shado tiger and wind serpent, use the Shado Master title, wear the Shado tabard and hat. The only thing they can’t do is buy a recipe.
The way SWTOR handled this is to limit the amount of rep you can get each week. It’s a really nice system.
That seems reasonable but once Exalted, the account should be exalted. Or the account could buy as if st the rep level of the highest toon on your account.
That doesn’t make any sense, though.
Why would a char who has had zero contact with a faction be immediately exalted?
It’s already been pointed out:
A level 10 alt shouldn’t get all the goodies from being exalted but they do.
Because you can separate lore from gameplay.
Lorewise, you’re right, it makes no sense.
But from a gameplay perspective there’s no reason to make people grind the same content. It is detrimental to player enjoyment. The individual player has already done the content. That’s enough.

I wish, but I doubt it, hell I don’t even think we will ever get MOP’s whole “get exalted and get doubleXP rep for all alts” kinda deal ever again.
This is an RPG argument is an ARPG game.
I wouldn’t need/want reps to be account wide if they would do either the tabard system or the MoP rep book.

The collectible customations for Pepe are not account wide despite them changing the mechagon panther mount colours to be account wide. Let that sink in

Reputation is bad like how torghast was bad.
Timegated forced content.
Let me get enlightened reputation by doing the things I like to do. Dungeons, raids, pvp.
Isn’t that what tabards did?
I’m ok with world content only tied to reputation if it’s cosmetic.
That 291 second leggo tied to reputation that can only be acquired through world stuff is no bueno for me.
Don’t get me wrong, give me account wide rep today.
