As was mentioned quite a few times in the thread already, it’s OK to skip skyshards on a new character ... since there are plenty of skill points in other areas to pick up: public dungeons, PvP, dungeon quests, zone quests, etc.
There are 400+ skill points in the game ... with skyshards only being around a quarter of that total.
The game doesn’t need this change as it exists today.

If people want skyshard skill points to be account-wide, why not quest skill points? I can't help but think the reason they want skyshard skill points account-wide is because they don't want to redo the quests, but feel suggesting to give free quest skill points on an alt is too much. But is there a real different? In fact, collecting 3 skyshards is considerable faster than finishing a skill point awarding quest.
Tbh, I would love a change to account-wide because I have 15 characters and some could really use more skill points. I also have no problem doing it as it is now.

to have accountwide skillpoints from jsut quest instead of skyshards is also good point but unfortunately this thread is only about skyshards
I think everyone or atlest most who want skyshards account bound will be fine with skillpoints from quests to be acocuntwide instead
but as I know this community...if we here with you all who want skyshards to leave character bound will compromise and try "fight" for quest skillpoints then other RP's will shout for us we are now want to break their immerion etc and then they will say to ask for skyshards and we will get endless circle imo

Then you should have an option to grind it all out again. Nothing is handed to me which I spent hours on. I have a real job. Doing the exact same boring horse simulation, running and riding from stone to stone, book to book is monotonous and NOT fun to a large portion of us. I'd like to you know..PLAY the game. Not be forced to do what someone else THINKS I should do.
If it’s NOT fun then why are you making new characters in the first place??
No one is forcing you to do that ...
@tmbrinks so or read better with understand or I sorry if I again wrote not clear enough
I was just explaining not to want shards and quest point account bound....
I was eplaining if we will leave thread with shards and start thread with skillpoints from quest account shared this will awake another group of RP which will same never accept this like you with shards
I didnt meant to have all these together account bound, I meant I could leave shards accountbound for these skillpoints from quests, this is good compromise for us but for sure not good option for another RP player base - this was my though now

I understood what you were saying... hence the slippery slope argument, where you add more and more. I could also make the argument that you're asking for say $1,000 from somebody (the 143 skill points from skyshards), then going and saying that you deserve $500 from them (the skill points from questing) since that's the "compromise"
When things are to be changed, the "burden of proof" is on the people who want the change to PROVE that the change needs to be made before there is even a hint of compromise. There are literally a hundred posts in here that show that it does not need to be changed, so just because the original suggestion does not need to be made, that does not entitle those who want a change to get a "compromise"

Essentially, your ideal ESO would have:
- All skill points account bound
- All guild lines (Mages, Thieves, Fighters, Undaunted) account bound
- Alliance rank account bound
- Achievements account bound
- All wayshrines account bound
Did I forget anything?
You essentially want to play the game on one character. You would just like that character to be different classes/builds.
There are literally a hundred posts in here that show that it does not need to be changed,
if there was an option like some people proposed it would be great for me to link alt to my main character to have same atlest achiev from my main, I could turn blink eye for just exploration with quests, guild leveling from 0 etc but to have atleast same shared achievement to see just my progress which isnt that much depentend which on which character I have done...I jsut have dont it on this account and that is for me
thats like in many other games I have seen....while new character dont have dicovered map etc but have achievs for account, and that is enough for me but here we are with skillpoints account shared thread and about something other

An account-wide tab for achievements that shows you an overview, while preserving the per-character achievement tracking as well would be fine.
But I don't know of any game where skill points acquired by one character can be used by another.

yeah thats why account shared skillpoints are just in this thread while my main pain are achievs in this game...and because this is how it is it just me (and maybe people like me) to threads, situations like this because as we cant have 1 single thing then we ask for other smaller things just to have atlest this something which we wont to need to make per every character (sorry if wrote something uneccessary more time than need, just writing fast fast now)EDIT: about this leading from missing account acheivements to this thread account shared skillpoints - atleast for me thats thing I just feel pissed whine need explore all over again on character where I have literraly nothing from achievs wwhich I get on my main (not looking at motifs etc custom things but looking more like something Im doing on this my main char, and something other on my alt which I will not want to soon do again on main char so achievement I would have rally uneccessary split between chars at which I dont care on which waht I get as for me thats - I just get it and thats all)

like any of opposite threads have not showed yet this toggle option for those who want would be real gamebreaking and breaking immerion to those who are fine as its now

you completely missed my earlier argument. You ask a stranger for $1,000 (for no reason), he says "no", then you go "let's compromise at $500" That is your entire argument.

Yet, after 20 pages of debate, there is not a single comment from ZoS in here. It's pretty apparent that they don't see it as an issue. I'm pretty confident, at this point, that they agree they should not be account bound.

no Im not asking stranger for 1000$
what Im asking its more like
- you going into new job - you need training in this job before you can fully do this job, thats your 1st time here and this is fine
- then you are going to different place because you wanted change it (for example closer to your new house after transfer? int another adress)
and here is what we ask for - to no need do again training for same job in different place but to be able make this job just now as you had this same training before but just in different place
it could be compared like just tutorial in any game where these tutorails we can skip or if not are really short while missing skillpoints for endgame character are much longer to get and yet if we ar going to compromise leaving shards thread while asking now for skillpoints from quest - it is just asking different person in same high position who can give us option to skip same training because we have done it but in different place

I get your argument. I just don't think it should be a part of the game.
You get skill points from leveling. (64) If you level from questing (instead of skyreach grinding) you will have enough skill points to do any role in the game. (you'll probably get another 40-60). If 100 skill points isn't enough to do PVE OR PVP OR CRAFTING (NOT ALL 3!!!!!) then something is wrong.
The biggest argument I have is WHY DO YOU EVEN NEED THE HANDOUT YOU'RE ASKING FOR? Simply playing the game to level gives you enough to do anything you want to do... which is why this whole argument is a non-starter to me. You don't need them.
I have characters that are just for pve. I have characters that are just crafters. and I have characters that can do everything. I haven't 'grinded skyshards' or skill points on any of them to get them where they are. I leveled them from questing.
