[Suggestions] More Account-Wide Options
This has been suggested many times before.
I’d personally support this idea because it would mean that I wouldn’t have to keep swapping around my infinite tools.
However, I doubt it will ever happen because A-net is happily raking in a load of money from people buying multiple infinite tools for their characters. Moreover, a lot of “loyal customers” (those who have bought multiple copies of the tools) will be left with a sour taste in their mouth.
As for account-wide bags/bag slots, use/functionality of Bank Express (and purchase of them) get undermined.
As for account-bound map completion, first I don’t think that this is actually possible to do with the current game as map completion is “hard coded” to a character. once again, a lot of loyal players (those who have done map completion multiple times) will be left with a sour taste in their mouth. It would also become very confusing in terms of exp points, and when the update comes out, Hero Points too.
If it’s any help, there are “Teleport to friend” items that drop from BL Chests which can be useful- get a friend to run a long way from anywhere you’ve been and use the item.

Or you could just stick it all in the bank at the end of your play session so you can just grab it on whoever needs it the next time you log in?
The issue with an account wide bag like you’re talking about is it completely negates any reason for a person to purchase more than one of any of those items. It impacts Anet’s bottom line, and the gemstore is their primary income source right now. It removes a source of revenue (new tool skins) for them, which would need to be made up elsewhere. Potentially in a price hike for all of those tools, to balance the ‘one purchase ever.’
