This is a poll trying to convince ZOS that motifs/recipes should be account-wide (in other word I believe 1.ppl like this 2.Not account wide only adds trouble 3.ZOS won't generate much profit from it so it is reasonable for them to make these account-wide)

Let's vote ppl!

    The current economy is wayyy down because 1.ppl spend money on recipes(especially furniture ones)
    2.Master writ has way low drop rate so ppl have to make extra chars and let them learn all the motifs again
    So money is short…and no one likes it


    However I doubt many ppl will spend crowns on it…so ZOS don't get profit from this. And farm money(and other farmings)do adds extra play time but beware those are not enjoyable play time, ppl like me will get sick of it when we realize we have to spend countless time doing boring things so we can actually enjoy tje game

    Yes I use them on alts when my main knows them.

    NO I don't want them account wide, I would prefer if CP wasn't. Each of my characters are individuals and they each need to learn their own skills and achieve their own achievements.

    This is exactly what I do. No way am I using a motif chapter that I can sell close to 100k knowing the price will go way down in a month or so.

    Recipes aren't a problem. It's so ridiculously easy to level Provisioning to 50, it's not even an issue. Sharing recipes between characters is an annoyance to transfer at the bank, but definitely doable.

    If I find a motif my high-character doesn't have, guess who gets it? I wouldn't waste a new motif on a low-level character if my main didn't have it. After I find another copy, then I use it.

    The results aren't surprising.

    true :) and this is the ideal result that we can use to convince ZOS

    My main character is also my main crafter because he's my completionist character.

    I don't want to waste the gold getting my other alts all the motifs.

    ZOS won't consider this purly base on ppl like it or not. Reason and statistics are what matters, and I am providing one

    Also your opinion is minority

    No need. Put all the crafts on one character so you only need one of each motif.

    I don't have a main as such, all my characters are equal and developed individually. They generally learn anything they find and if they already know it then it's banked for one of the others to use. The one exception to that is housing furnishings which are concentrated on one character initially. I don't really use the guild traders or crown store (other than in respect of my free subscription crowns which I've used on housing).

    I do not want any motifs/recipes to be account-wide, I hate that concept and would happily do away with account-wide dye unlocks and CPs, while providing a small shared section of the bank inventory with the major part of it being personal to the character.

    I have 1 blacksmith, and 1 clothing/woodworker, so I learn two of each motif. Personally I don't care about the cosmetic appearance of different styles, so not entirely sure why I even bother to learn them. I always wear a costume, so the armor style doesn't matter anyways.

    At any rate, I tend to wait a long time to buy motifs only after they have become very cheap (maximum 1k gold).

    I only learn green recipes since they arr not really worth selling on guild stores and common blue motifs for crafting writs. I have also learned hollowjack because it dropped so much that it became vendor trash. I also learn mercenary because it guarantees laurel drops from dungeon bosses and it's very common and cheap as well.

    Can't vote since there is no option for having multiple main characters.

    I have 4, and yes, that means multiples are needed for things such as motifs, recipes etc.

    I did not vote as prior to Master Writs, only my main crafter learned Motifs. No need to on the other ones. Recently, with Master Writs I have my secondary crafter learn some motifs. But, since I have determined that RNG is too much of a factor in Master Writs no matter what guidelines I follow for traits and motifs. So I have stopped learning Motifs on Alts.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I have more than one master crafter, so I learn all motifs / recipes simply by going down the list of my characters. Once a motif / recipe is known by all my characters I then send it to my wife to use, sell, or give away. She can sell it via her guild stores if she wishes. I do not belong to any guilds, and I don't participate in zone selling / buying, so no sense in me keeping it.

    To be fair the extra chances of getting a master writ when you have everything learned is so minimal it doesn't even matter, they really need to make motifs, research, and achievements account wide as does every current MMO on the market I believe.

    Same here, the extra chance is very very very very slim that it doesn't even matter. My main crafter has every motif capable of earning master writs learned now, and about 15 more traits left to go cause I took along break from the game, but I never received another master motif in the past 2 weeks.

    Doing my writs every day and my characters that barely know any motifs and have 0 traits whatsoever are the ones that randomly get master writs now besides my main master crafter.

    Making gold is this game is pretty easy, especially compared to some other games. Quests can provide 300 - 600 gold, plus looting, vendoring green and white items, pick pocketing, etc. I made enough to purchase all the homes I want and still have seven figures in the bank. Plus I keep 100k to 200k on each of my 11 characters. I do have to loan some gold to my wife from time to time, but hey, happy wife = happy life :)

    Your vote doesn't really answer your question

    I bet you don't use pet, dyes, costumes, mementos, mounts and houses that that particular character hasn't unlocked/bought.. Riiiight. They probably all assigned a certain amount of your bank space and guild store slots and don't use more than that.
