Learned Motifs and Furnishing Plans should be account wide

There are almost 100 motif books in the game now and well over 2000 furnishing plans in the game. Why aren't these account wide and character specific?

    I got 3 Grand Master Crafters and 15 Crafters that are nearly there (everything except some motifs missing)
    plz don't devalue my efforts.

    I appreciate it’s a hassle dealing with these, particularly if you have multiple higher level crafters you might want to make something right away and not be forced to log into a main crafter, but there are rewards built into the crafting system based on motif and recipe knowledge - achievements and daily writ rewards. It’s like any other skill line or achievement in the game. If you want a character to have a certain level of capability, you have to work for it per character.

    Many past grinding efforts get overtaken as games improve things.

    The past action should not prevent needed enhancements.

    Should we all have to training our mounts the way they were trained in the past, for example?

    I'm only asking for learned motifs and fursnishing plans to be account wide. Not for the path of research/skill leveling. Its easier to learn 50 motifs now and furnishing plans now then ut was when I did it and I don't feel devalued. But just like style pages, motifs and furnishing plans should 100% be account wide.

    The grind to get all motifs or furnishing plans is by no means easy to do. There are a lot of things in this game that are account wide alreadyand as far as rewards go you would still have to research all of the traits and level up your skills which without scrolls take a year to do if you are on top of it. What if you had to buy all of your houses and furnishings on each character? What if materials were character bound? What if all of the gold you have earned was onky for the character you earned it on. I have all motifs in the game learned and close to 2000 furnishing plans learned on my crafter. Why shouldn't I be able to have all that time and effort recognized on my other toons?

    What should we do with the many duplicates of recipes if they were account wide :)
