If they did, would you want this? I am just curious to see how the community stands on such matters.

This would be in a way similar to WoW, where things such as total kills/total gil earned/most mounts (probably excluding like, wedding mounts), minions, titles, etc were accountwide.

I am personally in support of this myself. The game is quite punishing on alternate characters as it stands. However, I am curious how others feel on the topic.
