Should the future of the game be all accountwide?

I’m fine with it but ideally I’d like them to make it an opt in thing for people who want “isolated” story characters for RP/immersion purposes.

No, you don’t want that, believe me. Do you remember the archaeology achievements in Pandaria? I’m still doing them, it’s a horror. I can’t start another character to dig somewhere else when I’m tired of my Panda, so I have to play isolated on that one character to do all the stuff for the titles.

Account wide everything (aside from “gear”) is a wonderful thing IMO.

I have almost the limit of characters over my 18 years and I can tell you that I have no idea which character I may need to hop on to ‘wrap up an achievement’ or something, let alone reputations…

But, honestly what are your stance on everything to be more accountwide?

It’s should have been done a while ago.

[Lorkhan-draktharon]

I don’t think systems/rep should be account wide until they’re a patch old

so 10.0 reps for example wouldn’t be accountwide until 10.1

because I don’t think alts should immediately be caught up in current content. I think alts should still need to actually be played through whatever the most current stuff is. Once something is a patch old though, then I see no reason why it shouldn’t become accountwide.

It’s probably a good thing I’m not a game dev because this probably isn’t the answer most people want to hear.

In terms of achievements, cosmetics, mounts, etc. I wholeheartedly agree that it should be account-wide. If you earned the trophy, regardless of the class/spec, why have to get it again? It doesn’t make any sense.

I preach this all the time when it comes to The Balance of Power.

I have no intention of isolating my characters I’m all for 100% account wide everything but I know others don’t want that so the idea of a Character Alliance was born.

In the current game yes, most things should be account wide.
As an example, I levelled a few Alts during the 50% XP buff, but while I have tens of thousands of cosmic flux to send them to craft a legendary, they don’t have the Rep to buy the bag of Soul Ash/Cinders.

Either the Rep should be account wide or the bag itself should be BOA so mains can send it to Alts.

Anyway, should we move forward with everything being Account wide? Or perhaps just move away the systems that make us want Account wide progression in the first place?
