Would you want account progression?

I've done both and I'd honestly be fine with that. I got my money's worth already for purchased items and I don't regret time I spent for things on my alts. If they suddenly said I only have to get mounts for instance once and they'd be available when I swap characters, I'd be very happy to access any that I haven't already re-acquired and won't feel bad about any I did.

Same here, but considering what I know about game fanbases and their "investments" I'm reasonably sure there'd be a sizeable pushback against just "oh well it's gone" sort of solution.
