Guild Wars 2

So i’m sure it was brought up a thousend times. But here now once more

Dear Team at ArenaNet,
could you please make all crafting recipes, but discoveries, be accountwide unlocked once one character learns them?

It wouldn’t harm the economy, as most players have every discipline only on one character maxed out and not on several. so it makes no sense for them to learn the same recipe on multiple character. Even learning the same discipline multiple times makes no sense as the only think it would be useful for, crafting ascended materials, is accountwide gated and not per character/discipline.

I bring this up for some recipe problems brought into game with HoT.
There are some recipes that list the wrong discipline. Would they be accountwide unlocked, no problem here.
Also we got recipes unlocked after a story step. But if we do it only with a character we don’t have a intend to craft with, like players who switched for the expansion to a revenant but not learning a discipline on it, they are ether forced a second time through the story with their crafting alts or learning a discipline on that character. So again, it would benefit the player.

Not mentioning if some one want to gather some old recipes but don’t always want to switch forth and back between alts to see if the recipe the vendor has is what i can still learn, or is it wasted time and money to buy them

Its a small QoL change that would, i think, make many happy.

I second this, I was shocked when I learned hard way recipes aren’t accountwide – it just didn’t make sense to me at all.
