I will be the minority voice here and state, in no way, shape or form should you be able to buy through a campaign, its a progress issue with me, you put the time in and you learn your toon and you pay the price for the boons via game play.
I do not like pay for progress issues like this, never have. IT ONLY makes it 100% more viable for them to make things outrageous to gain.. because people will just want to pay to progress. Its a bad path to go down.
Very bad.
I fought this in other games tooth and nail and even had a roll back of sorts in the last game. Here.. they dont care about players anyways, so it really doesnt matter, until they start loosing thousands at a time (and frankly we area already at 50% of what we were 6-7 months ago) only then do they relent.
In the face of overwhelming disaster they deign to listen to some of us.
PAY for PROGRESS is ALWAYS bad.. always.

This is already in the game. All we're asking is to change it from character only to whole account.
I thought that was just a side conversation. I don't want to PAY! I want account-wide progression, like in the title of the thread.
For instance, in my case I found a GF to be a bad fit for me and switched mains. I'm not interested in doing ALL the content again--although I'd do that before I'd pay $200 for it.
If the game intro really explained what a TANK is, then I would have never picked GF, whom I saw as simply a "fighter with shield". So if the game gave an option for dual-class or re-levelling new class but keep relevant equipment and boons, etc., those would have been viable. I'm not intereseted in having a toon for every class or a professions army, etc.
There are all kinds of reasons not to do the same grinding content over again. Kill Tiamat once, the HAMSTER should stay dead!

You can convert your character to another class. I believe there is a token for you to buy to do that job. Yes, you need to pay for it. If it took you that long to figure out you don't like TANK, there is something wrong with it. I gave up GF before level 20.
Edit: I take it back. There is a race reroll token that can change the race. Not the class.

Yes, it's a side conversation, but of course if the campaign progression is made account-wise for those who don't pay, then it has to be made for those who pay as well. The point made was that pay to progress is bad as if to shoot down the suggestion when such a thing is already in game.
its an old suggestion, and most ppl like it but then they wont be able to make ppl chose - spend month on a boring grind that is about as fun as jumping on legos or buy completion from them for $
Am about to vomit whenever i read/hear of such requests. Disgusting "gaming behavior". Not that it matters, u can pay for some already. During 1-60 progression, which is pretty fast, everyone should be able to determine what char to play, based on preferences and play style. Sadly, i smell even full reroll tokens in the future. Like u deserve being a good "healer" just because uve played a "rogue". Well, it's just a TPS right?

its about not having to repeat boring grind, and many ppl like to change their characters from time to time. and yes, if you are good at one class you will be at least decent on any class
I am All for Campaign unlocks from zen store being ACCOUNT wide. I mean, that just makes sense. you pay a chunk of cash. and get the benefit for your account (like the inscribed garments, imagine if you had too buy a new set of them for EVERY character)
however I don't feel that campaign progress should be account wide in general. While I wouldnt mind if it was (heck I'd love too have all boons on all my characters) I just feel it would take a lot of the experience away from playing. even though its a repetitive experience in the first place. my thought process here is flawed and I totally know that, but its just how I feel about it.
(also if only the 5k packs were account wide thats a great profit boost! I know I'd buy at least 2 of them.)
