I agree about pinnacle weapons, i disagree about forges. Weapons, yes, we should be able to use any character to work towards that goal. They've made that change in the last couple seasons, and i like that. The main reason i disagree about forges is because i used unlocking those to get experience/gear for each of my characters. I do that with all activities like that. It's an easy way to get those things, and it's not hard to do activities like that for 3 characters, especially when you do them around the same time. I think the reason people want it account based is because they spend so much time leveling up 1 character, that they burn themselves out and dont want to go back to do others. While i understand that, that doesnt mean they should cater the game to those people. We have the option to make 3 characters, so some things in the game should stay geared towards that, like beating the story, unlocking forges, etc. If you want to do all activities on all characters, then suck it up and go through the process, stop asking to make the game even easier.
