food/drink: yes. Crafting (motifs/furniture): no

I do all my crafting skills on one character, my ex-main nightblade. My other characters invest nothing into any crafting skills

I have one character who is a master, 9-trait crafter, with passives in all 6 skills. She is self-sufficient and takes care of the other characters. They give her first pickings of whatever they might find.

I pass green, Furnishing Design patters down a pecking order to my other toons, only because I have too many more valuable items to sell through Guild Traders. I sell all (duplicate) purple, Style Motifs and I would do the same with any rare Furnishing Patterns, if and when I get any.

I do not want to see Motifs going account wide because it would devalue the status of all Truly Master Crafters.

How do you figure it would devalue master crafters? Either you have learned the motif or you haven't. Learning it on more than 1 toon doesn't make 1 more of a master crafter or less of one either.

My crafter's not my main so:

- I teach him everything there is: motifs, research,...
- My main learns everything he needs or what I like
- Everything else goes on the trader

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.

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.

hmm, fair point.

I just worry that we could end up with all characters sharing everything and I do like getting achievements on each one separately.

When my main knows them I pass them on to my other characters.

QUOTE: "This is a poll trying to convince ZOS that motifs/recipes should be account-wide"

I my final comment, was simply stating, for the record, that I do not agree with the originator of this poll.

My Main Crafter will probably never be Emperor, she will never be vMA Conqueror and will probably never hold any of the highest Achievements and Titles associated with completing hard-mode vTrials. Quite rightly, under those circumstances, she does not deserve to sport any of those Titles along-side her name.

Gaining the ultimate Achievement in Crafting, should be given the end-of-game honour that it deserves.

what about houses then? Your DC character should never be given the EP and AD houses, why don't u agree with make house non-account-wide? Also as long as your house is with certain amount of furnitures you get achievement, BUT only your furniture crafter char should deserve the achievement, AHHHHH how do u deal with all that with your noble mind?

My alts are terribly neglected, don't have crafts, achievements, motifs, recipes, nothing. They are only for situations like I need another role to help someone. I don't even play alts when I'm bored... Maybe I love my main too much.

Well since I have no hopes of selling them (spamming WTS motif on chat ? Really ZOS is this the only way ? The other is being lucky and join some trading guild and not get kicked the same day for not being lucky to sell stuff).

If I have an "extra" rare motives & recipes I just put them in bank, and then learn them on other characters. I just try to level up woodworking as fast as possible so my other character will be able to learn them.

Only because I need the achievements.

Housing achievements are different and slightly more complicated than you make out.

Nowhere does it state that items placed within the home have to be crafted to earn achievements. The items can be made up from a variety of sources and as such, depending on how ones 'Household' is organised, the furnishing becomes a TEAM EFFORT.

For example, my crafter might craft some items, my stealth toon might find a stolen gem, my trial runner might bring home a monster bust, my angler some fish and my treasure hunter some paintings. There are other furnishing items that are exclusively for Warewolves and Vampires.

So, all in all I am not that "noble" minded but I thank you for the compliment anyway.

In answer to your questions in post #47

Yes, I will reload my Crafter to complete the task of making gear or weapons.

As to whether I drop what I am doing and craf the items straight away is another matter. If I were doing a group Pledge or running in a 12 Char Trial - against the clock - then of course I would tell the person I cannot do it straight away and give the reason. I have never come across anyone yet who would not understand. If they did not, then I would think they are a selfish so-and-so and they can sing for it.

My other characters would not be able to craft anything anyway except for the very basic, even if they knew the style motif because they have nil points invested in the Crafting Passives. They would not be able to distinguish iron from rubedite and would probably think a thimble is mini Skooma shot.

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

I don't see how you think 94% No means ZoS will make motifs account wide. if anything, it shows it's working as intended. As in it shows it's completely unnecessary. Most people craft with one character.

This exactly, the only reason to not main craft on one character is because you don't want to level them as high and/or hunt skyshards. If that was your logic and now you're upset because you took a short cut that didn't work out, well them the breaks.

I like the things that are account wide like dyes while their achievements are not. It means there is pride for completing a task on that character, while the effort is rewarded elsewhere.

I'm sorry but the cp leveling system made this the most alt friendly game in existence. If you have some separation between this and the alt-iness of guild wars, i think it's a good thing.
