Will i ever see a more Alt Friendly Neverwinter?

hey guys so as you can tell i like playing every class in the gamer and enjoy the game so much that i have 9 lvl 60's. One of every class as a halfing for pvp of course and then there pve counter parts for the most part. One of the reasons i have so many classes is so i don't get bored of them the play styles are so different with the classes to me. I have fully completed all the boons and campaigns for 4 of them. The problem is the grinding is so unnecessary when you have already done it on one character and have to do it on all the others.
I think that once you finish the campaigns it should be unlocked for all your characters that you create. Similar games have adopted this strategy and this will definitely reduce the "grind" involved if i wanted to create a new class. With the new module i am just dreadin doing this all over again on all my characters. Especially since this module sounds rather large as compared to the 2 previous modules. for instance i unlocked malabog's castle on 7 characters and valindra's on 3 characters that is just unnecessary. I wouldn't mind if instead paying 50k for one i could pay 75k and unlock them on all my characters.
Do you guys fell the same way? or does neverwinter just seem really unfriendly to people that want to play more classes and characters.

I do think its unrealistic to make everything automatically unlocked for alts, but perhaps they will take things like this into consideration as more content keeps being added. If you head over to the preview shard patch notes, there is a section that mentions once you gain xp on a character past lv 60, one of the rewards you could turn that xp into is xp for an alt. So it does look like they are open to making the game a bit more alt friendly based on that.
Agreed 100%.

Don't feel bad. Those powries would commit genocide against you and everyone who looks like you. Plus they drain your AP - that's two reasons why they deserve to die.

Huge massive problem with this. Now you are saying I have to play all 9 pf my characters to get all the "power points." That is just ridiculous.. Same thing was implemented in diablo with paragon power and guess what people rage enough they unlocked it across all characters on your account..
No. What it means is, by continuing to play your character, you can get power points so you can eventually rank all their powers up to rank 3, if you wanted. Seeing as you likely only use a few powers out of all the ones available, and that those are probably rank 3 already, this isn't really a huge bonus.

Running campaigns across multiple characters is considerably more taxing than getting them XP. XP gain can be completely passive.

that is true i forgot about professions. But the extra powers to use is a huge bonus because for a lot of builds a pvp build uses completely different feats and powers than a pvp build. This would decrease that sacrifice. But the dailies still need to be shared across characters there is really no good reason not to.
the reason you need to learn how to play your class is bad because 1 dailies are most likely solo'd which doesn't show the player anything. Even if they party for things the content is so easy it doesn't matter and also doesn't teach them anything. People learn to play their class when they start gearing them for dungeons and honestly i have learned how to play all the classes just by leveling from 1-60 just common sense to me.
I am somewhat confused by the complaint though of "I'll have to play them all" in order to access all powers, because if a character is not played actively in the first place, the power selection they have available at 60 is probably adequate, and they'll catch up eventually anyway.
I do find managing multiple alts can be onerous, but certainly not insofar as the idea of them having a passively gained type of post-60 advancement goes, just the boons (and daily quests from getting boons generate gobs of XP too).

you think that is it... Read the preview server the new gear T3 gear only stays for an in game amount of time. Meaning you have to farm black ice to keep it in its T3 state thus making to impossible to keep up on alts. So now i am being forced to play one class just to maintain my black ice gear because it has been stated that is does take quite some times to accumulate what you need thus creating a never ending grind to keep your gear up.
i can live without the powers but that again still ads to the alt unfriendly list. I only have so much time to play a day. Working 7 days a week i can't play pvp because of the que times are to long and i can't really do anything else because the dailies are so time consuming and mind numbing.. definitely wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so boring.

Seals tradeable across account: by the time I have enough of them, i'm already over the level of them being usefull. If I could give them to a new character, they'd actually have a function for me. in addition, or as an alternative, offer a 10:1 trade-up of seals. Same with the bounty currency. running dungeons you still gather loads of these, but who is going to get the lower grade seals or a rare item from that zone? Unlike seals, though, these can be traded across accounts, so this is currently the sole method of getting seals for another character, is that the intended method? send all of these to an alt so they can buy seals?
Tarmalune Bars account bound: it really stinks when I accidentally open a lockbox on a character that I haven't devoted as the "lock box opener" and thus cannot get that cool thing I want from the trade bar vendor.
The bank being account wide: I don't care if it starts small, I'll upgrade it with zen if I have to, but i don't like having to mail things to myself just to get simple stuff like enchants i don't need. Many other games offer some kind of account storage - it'd really help with farming on one character for your others.
Companions able to be un-bound - either offer a higher priced account bound version or charge AD to change from character-bound to account bound: I'm cool with them making money off of companions, but when you pay zen for something, I'd expect that $20 has better value than, "you're stuck with wasting all that zen if you want to switch characters.
in addition to these, the Gateway could use the ability to view companions, equip/unequip gear (both on self and companion, ID gear (especially since you aquire gear via SCA and professions, and attach/grab gear from mail (i'm fine if you still lock out AH stuff, as I can see that that's why you currently limit it).
These are all very reasonable request and would love to see this added in.. Just an addition though to companions would be mounts. I have a inferno on my GF and would love to use it on my other characters cause we all now how the GF is doing right now for both pve and pvp.
Already accounted for this in my earlier post. Charge a little but more but unlock them on all accounts.. Right now I have VT only unlocked on 3 accounts for the very reason it's to expensive to do more.. There becomes a point where the ad sink isn't worth it. Not if you said it would be 100k but all characters would get it I would be happier it's still and effective ad sink.. Same goes for daily's instead of 2k you can spend 5k and unlocked them across all characters
This in turn could leads players to play more characters and overall become a better ad sink.
Not taking a side here, agree that alt friendlyness is desirable. Just some arguments that might be important
