Would be great to have the option to share exalted with your other chars.
Just come up to a quartermaster and have option to say: Yeah I am very close friend of this guy and boom, exalted.
Or hey since this game likes gold sinks, give quartermaster an item that requires exalted.
Let’s say 2-5k per faction to exalted? Sounds reasonable.
Those who do not want to do this do not have to do this and those who need it for whatever reason can do it.
Nobody gets hurt, everyone benefits.
you misunderstood my point
my point is that they should not make players unable to do it
they should make them not want to do it
now they want, but are unable
if they made class design better and reps account wide they’d be able, but not want to multiclass
Any reputation needed for unlocking areas, events or quests should be shared account wise.
Then make the gear and items available in another way ex. after having done a longer quest line.
I am pretty neutral on this but see good and bad on both sides.
Not having shared means every character is a fresh new thing you can bring to any direction and specialization you want to. This basically means more things to do but sometimes repetitive. Downside is that if you are focusing for certail goal it might make you feel you have to play your main or certain alt and playing some other character is postponing reaching your goal.
Having things shared is nice on “my legacy” kind of thinking way. What is good about it you can work for account wide goals on any alt and this mean even playing low level alt you are gaining something also to your main. Downside is that things get done faster and if there is not enough different things to gain you might run out of goals for your account.

This would work in a game where one character can be all the classes like FF14.
Either account wide rep or a massive buff in alt rep after the main reaches exalted is long overdue in WoW

My personal reason for wanting account wide reps, is because I feel like I can’t switch main since my monk has almost all reps on exalted, and I enjoy going into the faction tab and seeing how she’s exalted with all those factions. I won’t go and do them on another character, so I’m stuck on my monk, and I have no further goals in that regard anyway. I think it’s fair that current content reps won’t be shared, but I really don’t get why old content reps can’t be shared if you wish it. Even if you’ll need to go to a quartermaster for every faction to unlock the rep at exalted, I’d still be okay with that - a minor annoyance, but I guess still something to do, and then if I want to switch main it won’t take too long to deal with.
Uh… If you’ve done it once, it’s just a time sink and dumb to do again, so your point is what exactly?
I was thinking of that myself, but I think that could be messy in terms of some factions being locked behind a questline and stuff, and if you would then want the rep on both, after having sent it from one to another, you’d have to send it back again.

I also have a dream
that people stop asking for everything to be account wide.

It would be a massive quality of life improvement.
I am all for making everything Account Wide so that I don’t feel SICK when changing a main!
Heck I’ve mained a Draenei since MoP and had absolutely everything done on him, now I want to main this Velf but I feel sick at the thought of having:
- So few achievement points on him, making you seem like you have nothing behind you at all.
- No account-wide reputation, meaning I will have to grind things…AGAIN. (and by again I mean for the 3rd time because I’ve got max reps on two characters…)
- No completion of so many achievements, including Loremaster (which I’ve done 2 times on 2 characters)
- Some mounts don’t count towards the progress of Mount collection, so I constantly have to switch between characters to have their mounts count too.
- Switching mains doesn’t make you show off those beautiful shiny achievement points on that character. How else can I brag in my guild for having top achievement point score? They can’t see the ACCOUNT ACHIEVEMENT POINTS.
All in all, I care a lot about achievement points and I happen to like other races and classes which I might consider maining over my ‘main’, but all these things are absolutely stopping me from ever enjoying a character properly.
It’s always “aww man…my main has everything, I should just play him…”
Sooo yeah…these things do put me off and I wish it was different.
I enjoy what GW2 did on that matter. Everything is Account Wide and you can properly enjoy characters without worrying about “aaaa no rep on this char, aaa my achievement points are gone, aaaa these things didn’t count towards my character’s progress, etc.”
EDIT:
I don’t feel ‘sense of progression’ if I have a ‘fresh alt’ without things I’ve earned for all my hard work. I feel stripped, naked and ‘robbed’ of my goodies when playing other characters than my main.
It’s not enjoyable, it’s an annoyance; to me at least.

not everything, just the things who are a timegated repetition of things you already did.
it was much less of a problem were rep were grindable. you log you alt, run dungeon for a few hrs, done. today since rep is only quest or wq and they are limited, it’s log you alt each day for weeks before completing them.
it’s a huge time sink for content you already did and reduce your possibility to do other things.

When you max out reputations on two characters, when you do Loremaster on two characters…and when you hoard a ton of achievement points on these characters, then you get Allied Races and decide to main one of them over your actual ‘mains’…well, that’s where the problem lies, for me at least.
I love having everything completed on my main, I love having a complete character and being rewarded for my hard work.
Now needless to say, having done all these hard things twice on two characters throughout many years of my WoW gaming, I feel disgusted and sick having to do it again on another character which I want to main.
“I don’t have to do it” - I don’t really, but that repells me from actually enjoying a character.
I always look back at my mains where I have completed so much and I feel demotivated and unhappy when ‘maining’ a different character than my mains.
That said, it’s natural that after many years of playing the same character you get to become a little bored and look for something fresh to main and play with. (Especially with Allied Races now).
In my case, I am bored of my Draenei main and it feels dry and boring to play him now, I want to main this Velf…but man…I feel robbed of my valuables when playing other characters.
Not everything should be acc-wide, but they should at least make Achievement Points stay the same on all characters as well as Reputation.
I hate seeing the puny 3780 achievement points on this character, compared to 26k on my Draenei.
How it affects me:
Demotivates me to actually put effort into the characters, demotivates me from even doing achievements on new characters, demotivates me to actually enjoy the game properly.
You might say “Just play your main then”; not the solution when you get bored of that character, especially if you totally go out of touch with that character and get to like another race/class more.

Not feeling good with playing a character only because it doesn’t have all rep bars are Exalted in the reputation tab is just nitpicky.
Reputation lock on rewards has been recently removed, rep achievement progress has been made account wide, relevant content (BfA neck, dungeons,…) only needs to be unlocked with one char… Literally all problems concerning reputations are already gone.
Not to mention that account wide reputation would just complicate more thing than it solves, as nitpicky as they might be, such as the rep with opposing hubs (Steamwheedle vs Blood sail).
It’s not just reputation to Exalted, it’s also the amount of achievement points and years of dedication and investment on another character, which you don’t feel on a ‘new main’ at all.
As I said, I have grinded so many reputations to Exalted on two of my previous mains. Two…previous…mains. TWO.
Ogri’la, Netherwing and a ton of other horrible reps done on two characters.
Then I log this character in and it’s all gone…
Of course I will feel sick and dizzy because it’s like all this hard work is for naught. I open the rep pannel on this character and it’s all “Neutral, friendly” etc.
They made reputation achievement account-wide, but it still did not address the issue that players were having.
I don’t really feel like going to Legion to farm paragon rewards on this character because I am nowhere near Exalted on him for Legion factions. My main is, but I don’t feel like playing my main anymore.
Worst problem for me is the fact that achievement points don’t carry to individual characters. I will be stuck on 3k achis on this character, despite having 26k account-wide achievement points.
Achi points should share across all characters. Achievements could be repeatable if we want to, but at least keep the number fixed for every single character.
EDIT:
Players that play long and invest a lot into the game should have the option to choose if they want to have all the reps maxed on that character or not.
Players who dedicate their time to the game so much should be rewarded by having at least the Achievement Points carry over to ALL characters, rather than just stay on one and stay as just a pretty number for Acc-wide achis which nobody can see.
An option to opt-in or opt-out of max reps for alts is a way to go, at least that way you don’t feel neglected and unloved when playing characters which are not your previous mains.
The way it feels to me: Game hates me for switching a character and now I have to do everything all over again…it’s demotivating and horrible.

Hello,
I dont think the reputation should be account wide, for several reasons but i would like very much if after you get a char to exalted, your alts would have a meaningfull catch up to reach exalted.
A 100% or 200% buff to the reputation from all sources comes to mind.
You would still work your way up to exalted but it would be bearable.
Same goes for leveling but thats another story. 
Except that doesn’t happen in any place that isn’t the website (which is actually an issue Blizzard still hasn’t solved). There is literally an option to display acc-wide achievement points or not.
So, in short, the achievement points aren’t a problem either. The only thing you would want to grind back reps today is to have the bars full with another character, which is nitpicky, even for a MMORPG.
What you do with your time is mainly your problem. If you feel having a character showing only 3k is too bad, you either invest your time on your own volition or just let it be. That you feel “sick and dizzy” over the fact that using a new character that feels “new” (not really).
And if you don’t feel playing your main, that sucks for you. But that’s it. Also, acc wide reps would already turn Paragon chests pointless, since it becomes as easy as having alts to receive more Paragon chests.
In short, your point is as nitpicky as it can be. Most of the relevant issues with reputation have already been addressed during this expansion.
Whoa there. Where’s all the negativity coming from you? I’ll just ask…why is this a problem to you?
Why is it a problem to you how I play the game and feel about these things?
Not all of us are the same, thank God for that, but a little bit of understanding goes a long way.
All people here are asking for is to have the sense of reward and progress on other characters without having to go through the same hell all over again.
Call me nitpicky all you want, but I already know a few people who quit the game because of these very issues.
A friend who changed a main because of class and now can’t feel sense of reward/progression on that character, feeling like all the years of investment on main were for naught.
I am pretty sure me and that friend are not the only ones feeling this way too.
My arguments speak purely of how I feel and what I’d love to have.
Now…would it damage the game to have this allowed? I don’t think so, this is just purely for ‘prestigeous’ feel of having everything done. There’s no exploiting things.
You mentioned there’s a way to display account wide achievement points, how and where?
Certain things will always be asked for. Removal of LFR, removal of TF/WF, High Elves, Account Wide Rep etc etc. They just go in cycles.
You must admit that account wide rep and less drastic variation of it are more realistic a demand that the rest.
Having either a buff to rep gain to alts or an powerful reputation token to buy from the quartermasters would help make repeating certain thing son alts less borring

I would happily pay for a Rep transfer, I have had a main for many years but want to re-main to another char and wish all my rep i earned was on it

I agree but so far they’ve been resistant, it’s come up a few times at Q&A and every time the answer is the same sadly.
