Motif Accountwide

Nardvark · July 2016

Can We for the love of god make Motifs Account wide.? and if not why?

Danksta · July 2016

No need for it, just learn them on your main crafter that is researching traits.

disintegr8 · July 2016

Don't know why you need multiple characters knowing all of the traits. I only see this as helpful if you wish to delete the character that has already learned them for some reason and that comes down to character planning and management.

Dread_Viking · July 2016

yeah can we plz get them to be Motifs Account wide

Exactly I'm replaying new Toons and moving to the pact as friends want to move to that faction I don't need or want to keep my Dominion toons.. they need to make motifs account wide or make it so we can change factions in crown store .. and i know im not alone on this..

I actually kind of agree with this. My first irritation with this issue is with regard to Imperials. It in some ways forces you to turn an imperial to a blacksmith/clothier/woodworker at the early phase of the game. Lets face it early on 50,000ish is meaningful when you're busy just trying to feed a horse and increase bank/bag size. Also you can 'convert' some gear to imperial style but many other pieces you can not. I think they're trying to drive up the value of these pieces although I think on the whole I could care less and I'd personally rather motifs be an account unlock. This could be alleviated if by knowing a trait you could convert a style on a piece of armor.

Apart from my crafter learning the Imperial motif, all of his other known styles can be replaced easily enough. For me, if I chose to delete my master crafter, I would lose the 100's of recipes he has learned for provisioning, the psijic ambrosia recipe and all of the crafting traits he has researched (most 8 and learning the 9th).

Needless to say he will never be deleted.

Colors are account wide .. so Motif should be IMO..

Of course, I think everyone can see the relation between the two.

Sure I can

ELDARTHVADER · July 2016

No, that would mean skills point used for same skill across all, and that is just useless.
Craft on on one
play hard on all others!

very easy with ESO Craft Bag, if not bag then all mats to Bank!

NO

This would stop demand all together

We already have a serious lack of in demand goods

Bouldercleave · July 2016

The basic ones are super easy to find, and even the rare ones (with the exception of Imperial) are not TOO difficult.

No real reason to kill of an entire section of the market. The common ones sell for only a couple of hundred gold on PC / NA as it is.

Because characters.

Why?

logosloki · July 2016

Mounts, Pets, Costumes, Polymorphs, Hats, Craft Bag and Collectibles are all account bound so I don't see the issue with making motifs account-wide as well. It would fit the theme that any aesthetic or non-combat item is generally account-wide.

javajedi · August 2016

My main toon and master crafter is AD but I am in the same boat of friends who have drifted to playing in other alliances now. True, they've made dungeon grouping possible cross faction but in general PvE gameplay or PvP it's a no go unless I want to just go kill them. LOL

I can never delete this character as it stands now because I have too much invested in the rare and exotic styles that I don't want to have to re-learn. I guess it doesn't hurt just keeping the toon alive to use for crafting purposes but why can't there be a method for faction change? I'd be alright with taking a penalty that your AP earned don't count toward Emperor for X number of days if the concern was folks jumping factions just to try to exploit a campaign or something.

Icy_Waffles · August 2016

I think motifs and trait crafting should be account wide. It takes so long. And there's a lot of gold (or crowns) spent to get motifs. I think the max research traits thing should be account wide as well.

Artis · August 2016

Not only motifs, but all the achievements. For the same reasons as motifs. You did put effort but if you need to delete a character - all that is gone as if it never happened. But it did.

Lolssi · August 2016

No need. One toon is enough.

Because it breaks the economy of the game. Crafters lose importance and motif values plummet.

You're not alone, but you are a super minority... and it is not cost-effective to devote developer resources to appease a super minority. They have a small team and most are over-tasked as it is, so when it comes down to deciding what gets implemented and what doesn't, it comes down on the side of what impacts or benefits the vast majority of players.

Balthyzar · August 2016

There is a great need for this. With all the different motifs coming out, it's becoming unreasonable to have to get every motif for all crafting toons. If we put the work into finding or buying them they should be account wide. Anyone who says there is no need is just someone who loves price gouging.

Your point as you say makes absolutely no sense.
