At least explain your criticism. My point is I don’t see any benefit to making personal level account wide in the way the OP dictated. If you were to come up with a better reason it should be account wide I would consider it.

Convenience.

The reason was written at the OP and expanded through out the thread, including refutation to similar posts like yours . You just need to read the whole thread and think about it a bit, and that includes possible objections to yours and others.

While I would have preferred not having to grind 16 fractal levels (hell it was that hard to get a group I ended up doing fractals 20 and 28 just because I wanted to get my kitten reward level up when it was at like 6), fractal farmers not being able to get the daily maw chest on their alts would be unfiar. I mean as boring as most people find them, there are others who will swap characters and run the same fractal level for chance of ascended ring, fractal skin or more relics.

I did and there are some good points brought up in the thread, but what I’m pointing out is that if you want to run an alt in a higher level fractal you can. Nothing is stopping a person from running a character with a low personal reward level except their own desire for what basically comes down to as a chance for a weapon skin. Yes it’s nice to be rewarded for the completing difficult content, but I also think people are focusing a bit too much on their inability to easily acquire a skin and not enough on running a fractal with a character they think it’s fun to run on.

There has been a lot of emphasis on leveling an alt up through fractals being some horrible process, but if you keep playing with the characters you like in whatever level you find most fun they will eventually get there. If playing fractals isn’t fun then why is there a desire to level up alts to begin with? Yes it will take awhile and maybe that could be looked into, but to giving you tremendous chunks of level progression or making the reward account wide (which would probably make the daily reward account wide which is something I’m very much not okay with) is not what I would consider the best solution.

My solution would be an overall reward increase in fractals in general. Improve the individual fractal end chest rewards regardless of your personal reward level and leave the daily chest at the end of maw the only thing that scales based on personal reward. This way it’s rewarding to run higher level fractals even with a character of a lower reward level while you gradually bring your alts level up and the weapon skins remain prestigious.

There are posts were saying the same thing as you just said and have been addressed.
