Controls Character based NOT account!
Get a gaming keyboard / mouse that comes with multiple profile capability so you can easily swap? Seems like the easiest thing to do, rather than demand they re-code their game.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

No. You shouldn’t be forced to BUY different things just to make the game work how it should out of the box. I have played plenty of other MMO games and NONE of them have the controls account bound do you know why? Because its very silly.
The controls SHOULD be character bound it is that simple.
I like that it’s account wide. Annoys me on other MMOs.

please no. I dont want to change it each time for each character. Account bound is fine.

I agree with the OP, I play several alts. It would be nice to have.
I do have a gaming keyboard, have yet to try the features.
People really should get gamepads for MMOs. A keyboard just doesn’t cut it.
You can probably get an old n52te for under $80 now. It’s real good.

They weren’t character specific in gw1, but it was a different animal I suppose. Still, same company, its expected that they are going to follow a similar set up for such things.
Still, if it bothers you that much, getting a gaming keyboard and mouse are going to be your only options. They aren’t going to recode their game to make controls ‘character’ specific vs account specific.
Also, just because you feel it should ‘work that way’ out of the box does not mean that all others agree with you. Obviously the developers didn’t.
Personally, I have no issues with how the controls work. Even having profile capable keyboard and mouse, there isn’t much I tweak from character to character. Since the controls are standard from character to character (with my minor adjustments) I find it easier to swap and go without having to ‘remember’ quite so much. It allows for more ‘just playing’ to me. But hey, just my 2 cents.

I am confused, I play 7 different characters and I have never had to change my set up-
I do have my F keys bound to my mouse but I only really use that for my ele.

LMAO. 1st April Fools comment of tthe year, a little early though.

Check box for account bound keybinds or character specific, done.
Yes I have a gaming keyboard and mouse, but it would be great for people who don’t want spend $$$ for these QoL features.
Personally, I only have specific keybinds for Ele and Engi, because of attunements and kits. Similar function yet attunements are on profession bar while kits are on utility bar. I prefer to have “stance” swapping on the mouse.
I swap attunements and weapons and call/take target with the mouse, leaves my left hand free for movement/dodging/skills. On other professions , I prefer to use prof skills on keyboard.

I play Ele, Mesmer, Necromancer and Engineer they ALL have different keybindings. Ele and Engineer are the worst as you need to use all F special skills. Mesmer i use 2 at most and even that is rare as i dont play Shatter and Necromancer is 1 button.
Having to change them to the way i like them which is different for all of the characters i play each time i log into that character is VERY annoying. It is the most simple of things and i just don’t understand why they didn’t even implement it in this game.
I use a Naga 2012 mouse so i rarely need to touch the numbers/F buttons on my keyboard as i have it set up just how i like but having to redo that EVERY time i log into a different character is SO annoying.
Razer Naga doesn’t have multiple profiles?
Even my kinda cheap CM Storm Inferno have at least 4 profiles, I think it had more but I only use 4.
But I agree, key bind by character instead of account would be nice.

Yeah it does i think, that wouldn’t solve the fact that i like my keybindings very strange that also use the Keyboard for several F key functions which can’t be changed via the Naga profiles.

I play a mesmer, necro, ele, engi, ranger, guardian.
I have a g600 mouse and it allows profiles.
That said I only ever use one profile that I made for my ele
I really can’t say that this is something that has ever bothered me at all

I play necro and ranger, and have had no problem keeping the buttons mapped the same.
I don’t really see how it’s such a big deal for you.
It’s never gonna happen in gw2, as it’s unnecessary work.
Search for key binding software. And activate different profiles that way.
For those that have the keybindings exactly the same, maybe it is no problem for those of us that have them different and knowing some of them are being wasted and need to be changed due to the character they are playing it is very annoying.
“unnecessary work” – Surely they can take a week out from nerfing all the classes that beat their precious Warrior in PvP and WvW and releasing Terrible, hated LS content to do this ONE change wouldn’t be that bad.
It should actually go further that just character-based keybindings, it should be weapon-based for each character. It drives me nuts when similar abilities from different weapons are on different slots…
Best example of this – Mesmer Phantasms. Depending on your weapon, your Phantasm summon may be on the 3, 4, or 5 slot…seriously wtf. You should be able to bind specific keys to each slot, for each weapon. So for Mesmer staff, I could bind F3 to slot 3, for Pistol offhand, F3 to slot 4, Focus offhand, F3 to slot 5.
Right now I use Autohotkey to remap most of my keys, and use a pixel-scanning script to check which weapon is currently active. It’s pretty clunky at times, but it usually gets the job done. Really wish I wouldn’t have to homebrew all these features that should be available by default…
I like how it is now. Just adapt how can be possbily adapting is hard?

Yes, unnecessary. There’s very few posts here saying yes, it’s needed.
How much is it bothering you really? I mean, you’re still playing the game.
I think it would be nice to have a toggle option for character vs account bound binds.
