Account or Character rewards - pick 1 please.
There’s lots of character bound stuff.
Souldbound Gear.
Access to dungeons by level of character.
Fractal levels.
Just off the top of my head.

Soulbound gear is what only karma gear? (atleast that starts soulbound)
I mentioned access and they are not rewards imo, but i also think that flag should be account wide.
While fractal levels maybe char bound the rewards are shareable.
The chest nerf is fine. It was too much to begin with. People with lots of alts are mad because they can’t make easy bank anymore. So?
I have a lot of alts too, 6 level 80s and I think this change is a good one for the game. In fact, they should have started it sooner than the patch.
People will do the least they can to get the most loot. That’s just how people are. So the company has to mitigate that by “nerfing” the loot. With so many world events, there’s still plenty of guaranteed loot to get.
Anyone who thinks it isn’t enough is just being greedy.

You’re completely missing his point. He isn’t speaking against the loot change, he’s talking about more and more reward mechanics, i.e. the upcoming WvW progression system, to be character bound and thus discouraging to those with alts.

This was the OP’s last line…
Am i the only one frustrated with the upcoming nerfs to rewards/participation ability of multiple characters? I think altering your current system will only drive more away.
I actually think that the nerf of the rewards sparked his post. All games have some rewards that are account bound and some that are soul bound. Probably some should be changed, but in my opinion, it’s the nerf to chests that drove the OP to post this topic. It’s clearly bothering him.
Its both, its the “changes.” I dont mind either way to much, Its the switches that bother me. 2 recent switches to dragon loot, and the HUGE change to wvw rewards. Will dungeons be changed next to match? If so tell me now before I make another alt that just rots cause i cant share rewards or do anything more then once per Account. This game started very alt friendly and now its about to get a lot less.
Soulbound gear is the big problem, IMO.
People with alts feel they deserve more loot and to get around timers because they need more to equip their characters.
However, this immediately opens to abuse, as it really doesn’t take a high character to get the loot…basically you can make twinks to get more free loot and never build up those other characters.
The answer is to stop soulbinding this stuff completely… make it so you can easily do hand-me-downs and make it easier for people to get gear for multiple toons without opening it up for exploit.
Only thing that should e character based are “progression” type stuff that is intentionally created to indicate how much you played a certain character (levels, certain titles, and WvW/PvP levels if they add them).

I’ve always thought, if they want to keep things soulbound, then open stuff like karma out to account bound. Many people are sitting on piles of karma for one character that simply doesn’t need it, and having to buy endless amounts of orrian boxes just to transfer this is just cumbersome and you lose a lot of karma in the process.
With the upcoming update not only do we get our ability to get rewarded for events on multiple characters nerfed (mega boss chest nerf,)
Didn’t they nerf the Halloween labyrinth chests to once per an account per a day? Or was that once per a toon? I tried looking back through the patch notes, but I couldn’t find any reference to it… if they did nerf it like that, we already have precedence here for this.
If you did what they did, you would have what they have.
You have what you have because you do what you do.
You have what you have because you do what you do.
They should be character because what the resin for a alt if you have nothing more to do whit them. If would like to farm manga boss event whit my time then I should be able to do so and a good reward. This also makes for the lack of drops for last 6 months and all the DR stuff they messed whit.

You know what it seems like each time I find a way to make cash. ANET or NCSOFT finds a way take it away. Im getting sick of this ANET is so lucky that there is nothing better to play out there right now.
