Reputations, chieves, currency tab stuff, ah, gold all should be account wide and faction agnostic. We should just have a secondary surname tied to all of our toons on the same server to denote their being tied to single house or family, to explain it lore wise.
The only thing that should not be is gear. Make our toons more tied to the user ourselves, rather than slaves to the games systems.
No I don’t want to redo my venari rep on my alt why do you ask?
This is one of the MAJOR reasons why FFXIV’s one character any job thing is so much better.
I disagree, it rids the need to have different characters and alts for different playthoughs and such (ridding the incentive to replay the game). I rather some of the stay non-account bound and such. I would think however their should be account bound bonuses for faster catch up for other alts and stuff. Like the MoP’s reputation boosters that unlock for your account.
Not at all. Leveling and playing a different class is still a unique experience. You can still choose to do different quest lines or pick different covenants.
Someone mentioned once the idea of just using your alts as bodyguards or companions and you can benefit from their rep and unlocks on any character because of it.
Seems like a cool idea 
I think that some more things ought to be, but not necessarily all that stuff.
I agree but some players separate their characters from themselves and from each other, they are individuals in the world and not avatars of the same entity (their real life self).
Them Orc mutton chops should be account wide
Simple solution: character can be linked or unlinked from account at creation (pre-existing characters receive the option when you log in to them for the first time following the addition of the system). Then they can even add their favorite thing: a paid service to link the character.
For example any currency from the previous expansion should be account bound, or at least server bound, so you can trade your quatloos from B for A to another character. In fact, about half way through an expansion’s life, about the time they add the inevitable big end game gear up zone, they should make the currency account bound.
Nope - wrong game go play FF.
That’s terrible. It’d force people to alt farm to get their massive daily/weekly rep grinds done in a single day. Cosmetics, achievements, mounts titles that kinda stuff should all be shared. Rest should be individual heroes.
It really doesn’t. I have a crap ton of characters on Old Republic, yet all rep and acheives are account wide there. Same with Rift.
Though I don’t agree that gold should be account wide. Server wide, yes. We need a server wide bank for anything we want.
No one is forced to do anything and the caps are usually pretty low for the week, which can be done on one character.
I don’t see how that negates account wide rep and currencies. Did people complain when we had account wide transmog, pets or mounts?
This isn’t any different. And it’s like this in Old Republic already. All of my characters are still separate entities.
I did. I hate account wide stuff. I want to develop my characters as individuals.
What people don’t realize, this would remove so much content from people and make it so much harder to obtain things gained by playing multiple characters. Plus the rewards would be adjusted anyway so you wouldn’t gain anything.
Things like Repuations absolutely need to be. They’ve shown over the game’s entire life that they’re completely unwilling to do anything interesting with Reputation - the fact that the only Rep that even feels like a reputation is the Goblin/Bloodsail really says something.
Having a good reputation with someone should come with upsides and downsides. Without those, it’s just a glorified grind. And as such, it’s not something I feel compelled to do more than once, nor does it add anything to my character in a roleplay sense.
If the process of attaining rep (among other things) were interesting? I’d have a different opinion, but as it is, you’re not doing much more than slowly filling a bar. Not something I’m scrambling to do again - and on most of my alts, I simply don’t bother at all.
Pretty much everything that isn’t gear, level or professions.
The covenant system is a transparent gating mechanism to extend an otherwise shallow expansion’s lifespan, renown should be account wide with free switches at least every other week.
and what advantage would that give you - do you think if they made reps account wide you would have any character specific rewards for them.
Account-wide reputation makes no sense to me. Why would someone respect and appreciate my Dwarven Hunter when it was my Night Elf Warrior who earned it all?
