Something I would genuinely LOVE is if I could "combine" characters...

The game would definitely benefit from some sort of account bound system, so if you unlock a mount or a minion on one character then it should be available on every character. Not that I need such a system myself as I only use one character but it's a system that other MMO's make use of already.

I think many other MMOs that use such a system also restrict each character in terms of class or some other ways that would encourage creating multiple characters.

The problem I have with account-wide system is that I'm afraid that it would encourage developers to make items even harder to obtain such that you would have to make alts to increase the chances of you obtaining such item, since you only need to obtain it once to get it on all your characters.

Also, on an even more personal issue, I sometimes happen not to like how my characters have developed. Without an account-wide system, it's easier to start over by just deleting my character. With such a system, especially in the case like WoW where achievements are account wide and it tells you on which character you earned it, it's harder to start over as there can be reminders. Of course, WoW compounds the issue by preventing permanent character deletion past a certain level. To start over, I have to delete my WoW account and create a new one.
