Fractals Account Bound
Class doesn’t matter as much on Jade Maw compared to the other fractals. Have a friend start the instance, and then just make sure your party is cool with you swapping to an alt for the Maw.

No thats not what i mean. I want to be able to make an alt and when he gets to 80 i want to start on fractal lvl 46 (which is where my guard is at). I dont want to have to do 45 fractals per alt just to get to the same spot.

I understand. As usual when posts like this pop up, I usually ask:
If levels were account bound, would you also be okay with the daily fractal chests being account bound too?
For myself, I’m ok with the status quo, and I’d also be ok with account bound levels. My point in asking this question is because ANet would most likely balance account bound fractal levels with account bound daily chests.

That would be completely fine by me. I’m so tired of playing my Mesmer in fractals but don’t want to level up my new main as there is nothing rewarding about fractals until around level 20+ I usually only do them once a day anyways.
Yeah~ but some of us have multiple characters at high level fractal that we run daily for multiple daily chest, wouldn’t it be unfair for us to lose those daily chest by switching character bound levels and rewards to account bound simply because some other players don’t want to go to the trouble to level up the fractals again?
cant you run higher level fractals if you have enough ar and someone else with higher level starts the instance?

There would be no reason to remove the daily per char
1. More chances at fractal skins (which everyone already complains about)
2. Increases the rewards (which are already lacking a lot)
3. Only a very small % of players run fractals so it wont effect the economy
To top it all off you could just make every even numbered fractal have an extra chest. So you could run fractal 48, 30 times in 1 day and you would always get that bonus chest.

They will never make fractals account bound. If you want to have multiple characters at lvl 48 then you have to put in the time. It’s really not even necessary. You can suit your alts with rings and a backpiece from fractals to give them AR then use them periodically to help complete the fractal areas where those alts would thrive. Just make sure you finish the maw with the right character for rewards. I can go into a fractal 48, get to maw with an alt who doesn’t have any fractal lvls, then switch back to my reg and finish for the full rewards.

Its just an idea. Fractals need a whole rework anyway

The thing is that ANet (if they ever came by this subforum again) would read this suggestion and probably just dismiss it. I’m guessing that to make it even to some kind of level of discussion table at ANet, an idea would have to sound reasonable to them. Getting as many bonus chests as you want per day once you have one character up as high as you want him probably wouldn’t sound reasonable to them. It would probably just sound like wishful thinking.
Now I’m certainly no ANet employee. But I think that if – IF – ANet were to implement an account bound fractal level system, accounts would also share the Tiered bonus chests, so only one 48 chest per day, regardless of how many characters you have in your account. And as you can see, some of our community would be upset if this was the kind of change that were to take place.
I think our current system works.

Yeah it works, but there a LOT of room for improvement.

Okay, I’ve got a suggestion.
Fractal levels are character bound just like character levels are character bound.
They recently came out with a scroll that autolevels a character up to 20.
How about an item, like “Fractal Authorization Cube” or something, that would drop from fractal 40+ or is buyable on characters with fractal 40+. This item is account bound and can be used to autolevel another character’s Fractal level to 15.

Most likely not, seeing as they NEVER visit the dungeons forum and that they prefer to add mindless zerging content.

Hmmm. But if they’re not going to, then why make the suggestion in the first place? The frequenters of the dungeon forums see “Fractal levels account bound please” threads every week or two. I think it’s a valid desire, however, when people also add in “but keep bonus chests per character” that just turns it into wishful thinking, which I think would be counter to any agenda of actually making some kind of change.

We’ve been asking them forever. We’ve been asking them for account bound story mode unlocks forever as well.
I doubt it’ll happen.

What you are asking Anet to change, all of them are highly unlikely to happen.
Have you notice that there are only two types of reward progress tracking in game right now?
Its either character bound with character base rewards or account bound with account base rewards.
It is very possible we can only have one way, not both.
You either have account bound fractal level and reward or character bound fractal level and reward.
What you are asking is while changing fractal level to the account bound but keeping rewards character bound.
Easier said then done, I am not a programmer but I don’t think it is a easy fix.

To be fair, I wish they would visit the forum less and make more new fractals or adjust current fractals instead of dealing with unhappy players on the forum that act like armchair developers.

I like it, you might be on to something here. Might be a consumable that cost 1k fractal relics and 50 pristine relics or anything.

Im not either but they could spend less time working on the this “living story” bullkitten and give us some real permanent content that doesnt involve mindless zerging.

Sooner or later they realize that you can get multiple chests and they “fix” it.

I like this idea, but also set it to 20, because I don’t even bother running even levels <20, because wooptidoo, uninfused rings…
When I was leveling my warrior, I would just spam lvl 9 and then lvl 19 until I was lvl 20..
