100% world completion ruins the "Alt" experience. Make it account-wide.

So I’m working on World Completion, I’m at about 73% right now… (also, the WvWvW locations were ridiculous, especially the ones in enemy territory, and don’t get me started on the Eternal Battlegrounds)
But doing every heart and exploration in the game really makes levelling an alt that much more boring. You just repeat what you have done already on a different class.
Yeah, you would end up doing that anyway, but nowhere near as much.
My solution? Make it so when you level your alt in their respective race zones that it counts towards an account-wide World Explorer achievement. It’s not fun doing a newbie zone (or three) on my Guardian and then when I want to do something different, I end up doing the same thing I just did, just on a different class.

+1.
I am pretty sure that there are some appeared-to-be-unfinished zones that you never want to bother completing again. These zones have hardly any DEs, other than a lot of bugs to make Renown Hearts unobtainable. Some with insane mob density as well as almost instant respawned mobs. That’s how I gave up on the 100% map completion and am rerolling on an alt. More fun in the lower level finished-and-well-balanced zones.
We ought to play for fun, not for leveling or 100% map completion. Don’t we?

100% exploration is essential when you want to level up?

What do you mean? I’m saying I only want to do the low-level zones once. It’s not fun doing it on my main for 100% completion, then when I make an alt, doing it right again.

So basically you want 100% explorer to be an account title and not character title?

Yes. If I am going to level up an alt to 80, and even if I go out of my way to do completely different zones than I did on my main while levelling up… I’ll already have done them. A big part of an alt (not the biggest) is to experience different zones. With how it is, the only diff an alt makes is a different class.

agreed. it makes sense. it would be stupid to do 100% map completion AGAIN for another character.

Also wanting to point out the ridiculous amount of bugged (unobtainable) skill points that still have not been fixed. THOSE make world explore even more fun.

let me tell you thats exactly it. I cant even lvl an alt now. repeating the same content is booorrriiing. I think ill have to step away from the game till new content is here to lvl any alts.
And btw. WvW being included in 100% completion…….Stupid. It alone should be a seperate pvp achievement. B/c guess what. Its taking me longer to get those areas than doing the entire pve wide zones. Its stupid rng. And god forbid your on a crappy server that holds nothing.
