Account based stuff is one of the many things that makes MMOs garbage.

Imagine for instance the hell that would be official servers if someone needed to only unlock things in one character to have them in them all.

Even if it was “account based in a server basis”. Imagine “full account wide”.

Being a survival sandbox game on top of all, account wide unlocks has no place near this game.

IF one talks about account wide only in “solo” game, there is thing called admin access. You go there and give yourself anything you deem you should have. You can spawn the cooking and brewing recipes, as many knowledge points as you like, armor recipes, set up your level. A “Evil Roguelike forgery”.
