The individuals against account wide achievements almost equaled the ones wanting it. I think that speaks for itself.
PS hey you got a ZOS employee to vote in the poll. He's in the unsure votes.

Given there's a poll about veteran content difficulty and 60% of the poll users said it was fine whereas 40% said it wasn't.. I'm going to go out on a limb and say numbers don't really matter with ZeniMax. So while you may think this is over... IT HAS ONLY BEGUN, because seriously, achievements are a pain, well, repeating achievements is a pain.
Yay, acknowledgements of sorts!
Speaking of that poll what side did you choose the ones who thought it was fine or the other. Of course only if you want to say that is. I was in the it was fine movement lol.

I said veteran rank content is currently fine, I'm almost veteran rank 9 personally and have enjoyed the challenging experience. That being said I'm also a Sorcerer and apparently Sorcerers have it easy compared with a Nightblade or something.
I'm pretty against watering down veteran content, I can see a lot more 'We're bored as we hit rank 12 in a week due to how easy it is now and there's no content for us!' threads popping up.
But that's just my opinion, it might be awesome, we'll have to wait and see. I took away from it that ZeniMax listens to whomever they want, so maybe the this suggestion may fall on the right ears.

Well it's nice that we agree on something. I can definitely see threads like that popping up people love to complain about everything honestly. It could turn out really well, but history repeats itself so it's probably going to turn into any other mmo that waters down their content.

I can also see a person wanting his account to count for all things.
Both are very valid opinions.
Personally, I'm lazy, so I would go the account way.
My RL friend (if he did not quit) would absolutely want to do each character separately.
The_Sadist wrote: »It's very fair, no opinions have been raised outside of a select few and therefore argument can't take place and eyes are still remained willingly closed.
That being said the whole immersion 'each character does it's own thing because I role-play' thing makes sense, but ultimately people who role-play also want vampires / werewolves to be purely physical and provide no bonuses / negatives, so I can't take the argument seriously.
Yes I can understand where they're coming from, but in a years time when they're gone and I'm grinding 5 characters worth of achievements I'm going to be relatively bemused.
Blackwidow wrote: »Sorry, what?
Are you saying that more people agree with you, so the ones who don't have no valid argument?
I think you are taking so real leaps in logic here.
As a person who can appreciate roleplaying, I'm not one who wants vamps and weres to be just physical with no stat changes or bonuses.
Why would you clump that together?
Again, you are leaping to a place and I'm not getting the connection.
How do you know that the people who disagree with you will not still be playing a year or more from now?
As an Altoholic type player I'm for this, but as an Achievement hunter type I'm against it. I'd say some achievements could be account wide and others individual maybe. It's a tough question.
Too FRAKKING easy! You can get the questing achievements without vet content, same with dungeons, anchors, etc., if you did this. An achievement should frakking well mean something, dammit

What good is it knowing that a character found all the skyshards in Greenshade for example, what I need to know is did this character find them all, did this character defeat the wispmother, did this character do forty greenshade quests for the achievement.
I wouldn't object to a account wide overview where we can see how all our characters are doing, but I still want the achievements to be character bound.
The incentive to roll an alt will be gone. We all saw this at WOW didn't we?
I voted against because I would rather have Account Wide achievs be an UMBRELLA section.
I don't want one character earning titles, trophies or anything else that they didn't deserve just because another character did it. However, I would also like a blanket information section (''account wide'') to let myself and possibly others know just what all achievements I've completed.

Perhaps, but you seem to also assume that there couldn't possibly be an alternative way of allowing plays to know what things their alts need to complete implemented alongside the account wide achievements.
It's like the pathfinder achievement and whatnot, you'd get prompted saying when you've found them all, perhaps with a mouse over which states what ones your current character is missing, it doesn't seem to be overly complicated.
Specific achievements WOULD be character bound, other ones would not, making skyshards character bound makes sense, having certain other ones, like enchanting for example (good luck maxing that on all characters), could be account wide.
Um, what? The incentive to roll an amount based purely on gathering achievements makes no sense. Furthermore, have you even played WoW? I personally had several alts to experiment with classes. If anything a deterrent for alts is the lack of repayable content not achievements.
Hell I want account wide stuff for pre-order and collector addition rewards. Its currently really cheap and poor programing that this wasn't included at launch when so many other MMO's have adapted to it.
Played it for 10 years and had several chars, thank you! Account wide achievements totally annihilated the incentive to play anything but your main, as you got everything already.
Why do dailys if you already have the pet or mount? Why do a dungeon if you already have the title and the rewards from it?
Why even level a char up if you already have everything that is achievable?
Less and less people rolled alts at WOW since Cata, one reason is the low difficulty, another is the acc wide tab.
Hi kids!
This is the ESO forums right? Ok! Just checking.
Interesting that only "no" demanded a reason.
Shouldn't it be the other way around? Since it dosent fit in in ESO at all, how do you think it does? Without talking about yourself.
Reading the reasons people want this, seams to be one and only reason. For themselves. No mention of how it fits with the game, what purpose it would do, good or bad.
Only reason is it suits YOU.
Sometimes in life where others are involved, you may have to think about them too.
Since the way ESO is built, shared anything, other the what is shared now, done belong.
Stating that why cant we have it when X other MMO have it. This is no rude to anyone, but a statement like that simply means
1. You dont know what ESO is
2. You dont like ESO and want to change it to anther MMO.
Either way, there are a very easy solution to both. I am emotional, and I get sad when my fellow people gets upset because they dont get something they want.

Unlocking an achievement related to sky shards doesn't mean each new character will have each sky shard unlocked... simply the achievements related. Likewise, if there's a lore book achievement you'd simply get the title related to the achievement, if there is one, not a maxed mage's guild on new characters. You'd still need to gather lore books / sky shards / fight daedra to amass skill points and level guild skill lines respectively.
I get it. I don't want it. What would be the point in making a new character then? You're essentially destroying the replayability of the game. I certainly hope they aren't even considering this silly idea.

All in all I want individuals disagreeing with the notion to state why, so we can discuss it at length.

Look, I'm asking to hear your side of this and you are giving me hyperbole and flat out illogical statements, no offense.
You seemed upset that the other side was not making any logical points.
All I can say at the moment is pot meet kettle, and I actually voted your way.
Have a nice day.
