Should skill lines be account based? (fighters guild, mages guild, undaunted etc)

So, should these aquired skill lines be account based, it would eliminate quite alot of grinding just to get the skills you want from these skill lines. Fighters Guilds, Mages Guild, Undaunted, Assault and Support Alliance skills.

    No point in having alternate characters in an RPG if they all have access to a common skill lines. This is a big part of leveling an RPG character. Account champion points are bad enough.

    And yes... this also goes for motifs and riding lessons.

    This is why I play the game.

    I like account based accomplishments more than the next but I do not believe these skill lines should be account based. It doesn't make sense within the game either if it were unless drastic changes happen

    BUT if it's being considered I'd vote for account progress 10/10

    I might've supported it for Assault/Support, but with the dramatic slash in AP requirements to level those trees in TG, I don't support it for any of these skill lines.

    Although levelling Alliance and Undaunted skills lays still ahead of all my characters, I say "no, please not account wide".
    I'm here to play the game, and not to only do it once and get 7 free skill-maxed characters. That would be boring as hell.

    Making my own vote here:
    Fighters Guild is fine as is.
    Mages Guild should not require re-collecting lore books for alt characters and should instead take a page from the Fighters Guild leveling scheme.
    Undaunted should have boosted leveling for all alt characters behind the main character.
    Alliance should have boosted leveling for all alt characters behind the main character.

    Wish this game wasn't so damn grindy so I could play it without feeling like I'm just wasting my life away.

    Wow. I've never felt like I was actually honestly wasting my life away.That's pretty serious there.Perhaps you might want to join a gym,or go jogging?
    Gaming,no matter how you try to put it,is always really wasting one's life away because there is no physical reward.For me,I am happy to "waste" my life away on ESO. Just as it is.

    Where are you trying to get to exactly?
    Well,perhaps there might be a game that is more challenging for you.I'm sure you love ESO,but it just may not give you the work out you are looking for.
    I find that with other MMOs now that I have played ESO.They do not offer me what I am looking for.A game with a massive RPG community.I am kinda ruined now. There ARE other games with lotsa people,but there is no rhyme or reason for what they are doing.Just running everywhere,killing stuff.No story line really,or anything.Just go here kill this,go there and pick that fruit. ESO has all that too,but it has so much more.It has a life to it that other games dont.
    When I see people in ESO running here and there,I smile because I know they are doing the same things I have to do,or have done.And it is fun to catch up to them and head into a delve together.Nothing said,we just go for it and then go our separate ways.

    All should be individual.

    Just because you are a master mage shouldn't mean that your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate would have reached that rank in the mages guild at leaving coldharbour and starting their adventuring career...

    (BtW, I raised mages to max without ever specifically looking for lorebooks, just by picking up those I stumble across questing through cadwells en passant. Hit M-10 in the mid of gold, usually. So much for "grind")

    I hate the very concept of "account-based". I run a lot of characters and want them all to earn their own rewards, skills, achievements etc. And yes, I'd far rather they unlocked their own dyes and champion points too!

    Undaunted and Alliance progression should be account wide, in my opinion, because these are really player achievements, not just achievements for a particular toon.

    With the coming changes to the Alliance Skill line (less AP required per level) and the ease of leveling Undaunted, I do not see a need for those to be account wide.

    Mages Guild and Fighters guild skill lines are remaining the same. Which is quite easy to level as well, but requires some unnecessary grinding - especially on your 3rd+ character. At the same time I wouldn't like to see level 3s running around using Meteor or Dawnbreaker right off the bat. There would have to be some other requirement to unlock those ultimates. Perhaps actually finishing the Mages Guild and Fighters Guild quest lines.

    I am generally for more account-based features. However, although they offer some great tools, these skill lines are entirely for individual character progression.

    With the upcoming changes to the Alliance skill lines, none of these are difficult or take long to earn. If you are going to go down that road, they might as well sell V16 template characters with every skill leveled up.

    Champion Points are already account bound, as is bank.

    The only other thing I wouldn't mind being account bound is horse levelling.

    I voted yes purely because I secretly hope for the community to move toward an achievement based system of standard (since vet ranks are going away). Since achievements are linked to one char no harm no foul.
