Guild Wars 2

Now that you cant get “extra” rewards in dungeons by playing alts, why do we still have to do story on EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. ? I understand that before it was a way to keep in check people with too many alts, but as someone who is now getting quite the few alts myself, i find that finding groups for story, specially for some less popular dungeons can be hard, specially when you have 4+ alts……..

I think we should get rid of it since this only discourages alts and that is very important to an MMO! Im not doing it for extra rewards, but some times i wanna run a dungeon as an ele, some other time as a guardian and maybe later as a mesmer, i have to rely on others for the story, and funny enough (and sadly too) I once did a pug group in which we stood around for about 10 minutes without saying much only to realize NO ONE had story on the chars, meaning someone would have to either log onto a diffeeent char or leave to make space for someone with story, and thats just wrong.

Anet, please stop punishing creation of alts! If the rewards are account bound then so should be the limitations! I hope this is just an overlook on your part!

I agree it would be great to have all such unlocks account wide. Personally I’m the kind of person that wants us to be seen as a player rather than a character. With the account wallet and lots of other account bound features already I hope that they will push more things this way. Including WvW ranks for example (just like glory ranks being acc wide etc). Who knows? Perhaps it’s on their watch list but just a very low priority right now.

" treat us as players, not characters"

LOVE THAT CONCEPT!! I shall use it more often from now on!

Programatically, I don’t see this happening. The reason is because your Personal story is character bound. You can’t make the Personal story account bound because people’s alts will take different paths, be different races, etc. The last mission in the Personal story is the Story mode Arah dungeon.

I think you’ll acclimate to is just as many of us did who have created so many alts. To be honest, ANet has listened to many of the suggestions that people have asked for as far as making things account bound. I think it is as much as they can while striking a good balance.
