Make [Items + Gold] ACCOUNT based not CHARACTER based

Suggestion:

 - All of the items you own will be in one pool with that account and usable on all of the characters. Only MAIN can trade the items.
 - Duplicate items autodeleted or sold.
 - Gold pooled into 1 chest.

Benefits:

 - No need to re-buy the same items on every character. No need to re-grind gold. Think of it this way: A new heir to your main characters family who has access to his fathers/mothers warchest, smithy and stables. Family Heirlooms would be truly family heirlooms.
 
- I imagine this also would clean up the database quite a bit.

This would make my item list way too big to look through, considering I have a character for every class... 16 characters even not counting duplicates... that adds up to the majority of the shop items :/
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

You are right, I did not consider people who own majority of the shop, have to think this through carefully. Perhaps a function that allows user to create custom load-outs could be used to fix this.

it would make alt more viable but also heirlooms more common as well thus those who do not have such heirloms would see an increase in difficulty

i would like to see this implemented but in a  way where u would maybe pay to be able to use looms on alts?
(just an example till a better sulotion is shown)

I think it would be better to be able to change your main character (with a cooldown ofc).

Perhaps you should be able to create an item pool on choice, then distribute gear to a selected character when you want. Items can be re-added to the pool whenever too.

I like this idea.

I don't understand what this heirloom fuss is all about. Because it seems everyone has them, go around the battlefield almost every weapon is heirloomed.

Do +2/+3 weapons really make that much of a difference? Most players are of different levels/classes/outfits anyhow. Of course no lifers will have everything upgraded, and have a ton of gold, but who cares?

Considering I already have more items than will load in game on my main, no problem here.

My response to this is simple: oh god yes please.  Note: I haven't really thought about wider ramifications and am only considering personal benefit.

Sounds like a really good idea actually.  And there's a way to do it that wouldn't clutter up your inventory too.  All we'd have to add would be some 'minimizeable/maximizable' menus for different types of inventory gear.  That way if you're on your archer, you can minimize all your 2h, 1h, Poles, etc.  Or if you're on your 2h, you can swap and minimize your shields, Poles, bows, etc.  Could work pretty well that way.  Otherwise it would be a mongolian item clusterfuck.

I just wish I could cannibalize one or two of my characters by giving all of it's exp/gold/items to my main. :(

I earned all of it, why can't I use it?
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

No on items, yes on gold.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.
