Account-Wide Option Menu

I feel like this is probably an addon on PC, but for us console plebs, having an option to "apply all chosen options to account" would be HUGE and would remove a very annoying/tedious part of creating a new character.

Obviously not top of the list here for things that should be done, but it's a minor option that I think would bring a lot of convenience. Thoughts?

    Yes this would be great!! Especially with those pesky chat colors we have to set on every character.. LOL. I never understood why that wasn't account wide. It's not like our different toons can be in different guilds. Getting the option to apply the settings account wide would be so nice!!

    It is an addon on PC and it's one of my favourites. I agree this should be a base game option.

    Before I got the addon making a new character meant spending ages standing in a prison cell going through all the settings and manually changing them to exactly what I was already using on all my other characters. If I ever changed something I then had to cycle through making the same change over and over on each one.

    It was so nice the first time I didn't have to do that, when I made a new character and I could just start playing them right away.

    I understand some people probably like to have some different settings on each character, and they could keep it as it is now, but it would be nice to have the option to copy them over built into the game itself.

    I've never understood why a lot of things don't default to account wide. Maybe it's just me, but I think your average player isn't going to want different settings for things like profanity filter, leaderboard notifications, chat colours and so on for each character.

    The number of things like this that ought to be a given, but somehow arent, boggles the mind.

    I like the different chat colors (before pchat made them all the same across characters) and the different aoe colors, but I figure I'm a minority in that.

    But come on, KEYBINDS? Why are keybinds not account-wide by default? And things like "show percent health on healtbar" (which really should be on by default as well).
    Totally would be happy with an account wide toggle.

    I use an add-on for this and it makes creating a new character much less stressful. This really needs to be a base game feature.

    We can set preferences for our house settings to be the same as another. Other settings should have the same options.
