Please make ksm account wide for 9.2! Why do we have to grind the IO on every character?

Agreed. Why did blizzard take a step back from season 1 of M+ and remove account-wide KSM in the first place?

I think that during 9.0.5 there was a good engagement on M+ with alts due to account wide KSM, you don’t need to focus every dungeon with your alts in order to get KSM again and you still need to obtain gear and valor to use the upgrade feature unlocked by KSM.
I don’t find any valid point about keeping KSM per character, only extends the time to unlock upgrades that you already need to put effort for it, i think that actually it not being account wide diminish the M+ activity because a lot of players won’t try to do KSM on each alt and just do it once and left until 10.0.

I don’t really understand the complaint. You have to grind the valor on that character to use the features, and grinding the valor unlocks the features. It is not any different than account wide, but character specific gives you the tools to display your progress with that class whereas account wide doesn’t. You’re asking for less for no effective gain.
Why would it be, though?
I don’t get Duelist gear on all my alts by getting it on my main.

Would be nice if we had a career profile like in overwatch with the Mythic rating being accountwide. Trying to pug keys on alts is very annoying. The valor being restricted by rating is also annoying. This would help alleviate those problems. Career profile showing your experience with roles/specs would be nice.
A career profile would also be nice for things like account wide reps.

Apples to oranges comparison.
PvP gear is “targetable” where you can literally hand-pick the gear pieces you buy from a vendor. On the other hand, dungeon/M+ loot is 100% RNG and there is no similar vendor allowing “targetting” of specific gear pieces.
With PvE gearing you can run a dungeon 100 times and might never get the specific gear piece you are after, due to RNG. With PvP it’s simply a matter of “when” you get a specific piece of gear, no RNG there.
KSM gear upgrades being account-wide on alts was fine and didn’t need to be changed or messed with.

Once you are duelist you can funnel gear through boxes to alts and make it that much easier to get duelist on that character. In M+ you still have to farm the pieces the be able to upgrade them. Valor boxes are pretty bad in the regards that the ilvl they give you makes them very expensive valor wise to upgrade.

This doesn’t matter since Blizzard added its own M+ Score, that’s your personal progress on each class.
RaiderIO still exists for this reason, shows mains score
Because you are playing a character, not an account.
Because it increases your play time for greater engagement for you and more revenue for the company.
Because just because you are able to achieve it with one race/class does not mean you could achieve it with a different race/class.
Why are they making all of the other account wide changes then? KSM is not a difficult achievement just time consuming. There will still be valor caps to keep engagement.

I would like to see this on the community council and Dev response, because actually i think there’s a huge player base that drives away from M+ once KSM is completed with 1 character due to it not being account wide, i think this kind of post reflects that a lot of players liked when this was introduced on 9.0.5 since those players engage with system longer and keep subs instead of leaving the game once KSM is completed.
I did more M+ with 4 classes during 9.0.5, then i did just KSM as part of 9.1 a few more keys for BIS on main and that’s it, i won’t target specific keys on each alt until get KSM again.
It’s very annoying for alts I agree. I can’t even get into +2’s on my warlock most of the time and while I can make groups for my own key I’d actually like to, you know, be able to farm valor and get some easy items for my alt lol.

I have been having trouble to get that to work. But yea since they already copied Raider.io. Might as well bake it into the game. And maybe do what overwatch does with like a career profile.
so unworthy scrub toons walk around with the highly prestigious achievements? no ty.
This already happens
People complained about KSM not being “prestigious” enough, so Blizzard not only made the achievement twice as hard to obtain, but took it away from account-wide status to make it even more “prestigious”.
The 1% got what they wished for.
