Yeah, i dont trust them with their words cause they havent announced any systems apart from the pointless dragon soaring which is just "Falling with grace" mechanics from years ago from any other game that has similar things, GW2 basically with quick example.
So the account wide things doesnt mean anything if there isnt anything to actually do , although if they do switch things around, i wouldnt mind 1-2 freebie items with gold from account wide reputations and similar stuff.

Cause it works, despite us not like hearing it, there is a number of players thats so slow that doesnt understand they are re-doing the same thing, or it simply brings Blizzard more money.
What i mean by this..I hate refarming the pointless bullshit and spending 8-10 hours just to get the basics out of the way to get my character decent like (for my standards) to rush into M+ as example, and by that i mean instantly with friends to +15s.
For me that knows the game its 8-10 hours, and i actually like playing the game so i will play these 8-10 hours in a week or two, along with my 2-4hr raid logging on my main, which is why i want account wide systems, i like raid logging, i hate refarming things.
For the average player the same thing takes much longer, spread into many more days/weeks, which means subs and $.
Its really annoying, but it brings them money, cause me and you and ColdKill wont log on to play our 3rd alt cause we dont wanna bother, despite the sub is running.
But the average player on his second character, will be forced (without his knowledge, or well because of his lack of knowledge/skill call it wahtever) to pay more months of subs to play more slowly over the patch/expansion.
