Hi,

thought about it for a while:

Why not make all skills account-bound instead of character bound?

There is literally no reason currently (gameplay wise) why the skills are tied to a single character. Making them account bound gives you something to do while you wait for a cata or your HP to get back up without switching to you designated skill character.
That is espacially true for any HC player, but even some of the SC player have dedicated "skilling" characters.

That way you don't "waste" any skills prof on the wrong toon.

How to change would be pretty simple actually, since prof all work the same:

Just add all accumulated prof points together and calculate the new account rank out of it.


I don't see any real argument against it, other than it is programming work for Paul to do it.
If you delete all of your Toons it could be resetted to zero skill prof or retained, that's the only point of discussion I can think about

If you vote no, please be so kind and explain why.

Wondering how this would apply on HC?
So if you got your main character and choose that to gain all the prof. Then you play on a other character and play risky just to gain prof for your main character, and you RIP that character.
Your main character is still alive but gaining prof from your other character you playing.
Seems a bit weird to me if this would be implemented.

my 2 cents

No the join of the prof would be one time, after that you have the high level on all your toons basically

So you can't farm any prof with low level items

means that prof gained will apply like it does now, just that you have no lower/other level on your other toons.

e.q.

now you have rank 1 muting (1000prof) on toon1 and rank 2 muting (3000) prof on toon 2
then it merged when the update gets delivered so you have rankt 2 muting with 33,33% progress on all existing and new toons

Although I did all my skilling on my main char I see no reason to punish others who didn`t.

If I`m climbing on a mule and I want to glyph something real quick I have to swap chars which is annoying. Sure why not .

Voted yes cuz I love your voice

I feel a bit bad for this. I voted no, even though this change would benefit me greatly because I think it takes away from individuality of the characters. It would really help me a LOT though, so it was hard for me not to say yes just for personal gain...

I have a real argument against this, I have two muters, now I would have wasted all that time, but tbh I wouldn't care that much, maybe just add both xp together and it wouldn't matter anyway. Voted yes regardless.

SO you voted no even though you really wanted this change to happen. Jebus

It is not wasted time lol

Does no one read the text?

All prof points earned on all your toons will get merged. That is the whole point of this suggestion

Lol... well I think more like... I’d benefit from it... but I voted no because I don’t want it to happen despite that...

I suggested the essencially mutable suggestion idea that I had even though it would be bad for my playstyle and skilling because I thought that it would make the game better for other players, and increase the population which lots of people want...

But yeah if this change happened, I would make full use of it anyway
