Oh right, that’s sucky then 
I have herbalism and alchemy on this, and it does seem to work ok for that, at least. But I don’t have any suitable alts to try anything else with at the moment.
I hope it happens this would make open world and professions more fun would mean you could run engineering or alchemy also would make AH prices go down some.

Precisely for this reason part of the professions must move to warband bound. After all professions are already warband bound with extra steps. I can access all profession recipes and gathering by switching character and senting items throught mail/wand. We should get rid of the tedious switching character and senting materials between them.
And that one of the things that could be stopped with warband professions, but not with character professions. There are warband systems that are disabled when multiboxing, the bank and battle pets. Those systems are only available to the first wow account who logs from a battlenet account. They could do the same with gathering professions, allowing us to get rid of multiboxers using those professions
That should be profession “Gathering” one for everything.
And it should be shared to all account.
And it’s so dumb that cooking receipts are not shared for account!! Some of them so rare and soulboud on pickup. And if you lucky and loot some of rare receipts, but playing with “wrong” character – gg lol.

yeah agree would be so good for alting 
Nothing is account-wide there outside of some shop purchases.
Everything is on one character though so you don’t really need to choose
As long its optional i dont mind it being added.
It does not even need to be in the warbands. We already got heirlooms wich unlock flightpaths when you use them. Why not have an heirloom wich teaches you proffesion at the max level If you unlocked it by maxxing out the proffesion on a character. Atleast for gathering

In FF14 nothing is account-wide, but at the same time there is no need on that game to have alts due that any character could have every class and professions at the same time. Instead of leveling 14 alts each one with a different class and different professions in FF14 you would leavel 14 jobs and all professions in the same character
That would work too, but I belive recipes should be warband-bound too. Particullary I would prefer a system that make you work leveling the main profession with every character but have access to crafting any non-BOP recipe from any character in your warband, and leveling the profession was necesary only one to unlock the recipes and to have in the character you level the profession any of the profession exclusive BOP rewards and benefics.
Basically if I can send materials to my jewelcrafter alt, switch character, create the gem, send the gem to my main, switch back to my main and pick the gem I believe we should be able to create that same gem direcly from any character, without wasting time sending items and switching characters
At the very least BoP recipes wich you drop or buy from from reputation vendors should be bound to warband so you can sent them to others.
Or integrate it into a nearly useless proffesion like inscription. Allowing you to make copies of recipes in your warband at a cost of mats. Flavour wise it seems perfect for inscription
I would love proffesions being used for this or already exisiting things like heirlooms. Instead of just having a button in the warbank wich just shares everything. Or things automaticly being given to you instantly when you make a new char
You forgot Archaeology. Not as useful but a bigger pain to level.

I’m not talking about the recipe item who is used by a profession to llearn the recipe itself. What I saying is that if I have a character with Blacksmith leveled up and with those recipes learnes I could craft those items with any character, no matter if the character is blacksmith or not. So as long as one character has learned the recipe and I have one blacksmith with the appropiate skill I could craft the item with any character.
With BOP I was talking about the crafted item itself. So, if the crafted item is BOP then only blacksmith with the appropiate skill could crafted and when the item is not BOP any character could crafted.
Basically if I can send the materials to my alt, craft the item and send the item back to my main I would love to be able to do this directly from my main.
About using inscription so other blacksmith learns the recipes. Well, I am not againts it, but I won’t use such a feature. Maybe if the crafted item is BOP, in wich case it will be necessary so to have the item with more than one blacksmith. But I usually don’t level the same profession twice, so I won’t learn the same recipe twice, because I already could use that recipe with that character and send the crafted item to anyone in my warband.
I like warbands I hope they build on it like these professions should be added since crafting is way funnier to lvl on a single alt.
Like have it being called master gather
that would bring up a good point will change topic thanks for pointing out
hope they do something about it
What I would really like is to make each Expansions profession a “thing” in its own right. For example in Alchemy I have put a load of effort into grinding rare drop recipes etc. and I think it would be great if I could “park” alchemy at Dragonflight and continue into TWW with another profession - all the effort previously put in isn’t lost that way. If you wanted to switch back during TWW of course the loss would only be to the new profession and you could pick up where you left off with Alchemy.
I don’t think the professions should be account wide, the reputations that sell recipes should be though.
However it would be nice if gathering professions were like fishing and cooking and could all be learned by 1 character + 2 crafting professions.
Fishing and Cooking for sure. Not opposed to the others ebign Account Wide either but Fishing and Cooking are not enough fun nor impactful enough to be limited to a single character.
I think all professions should be account wide. It never made sense to me that just because I have 45 Max level characters that means I have access to so much more CDs and crafting options.
Let’s bring that to the account level and close the gap between the ultra goblins and the casuals a little

That’s how you look in this thread.
What are you smoking? Professions have always work without having a difference between being account-wide and character-wide, because every character always have access to every profession the player has among all his characters (except enchanting before WOTLK). At least before TWW there was a difference for those who have characters on different realms, but with warband bank it doesn’t matter anymore
The only difference between account-wide professions and character-wide professions is if you need to send materials to your alts or not. That’s it. If I can’t make my blacksmith patters with my main I can sent the materials to my alt and sent back the blacksmith gear to my main. That is account-wide with extra stepts
