    Every MMO has "lateral progression", we call it rolling an alt.
    If your on a different character it's not exactly "Lateral", as it is a different character that in turn has to do all over again:

    - Profession
    - Gathering

    They also don't have:

    - Cross-classing

    Not to mention you have to create a totally different character.

    Yes but the current end-game contradicts this system because lock-outs and token caps are shared per character not per job. What's the point in leveling up another job if you are just going to spend all of your Myth on your main job and then use that job to do your 1 run a week Coil run?

    Right now you are actually better off creating a completely new character if you want to level up something else because you'll also get an whole new set of timers that don't conflict with your main job.

    Cross class abilities
    Gear repairs
    Gathering your own mats

    All want a word with your incorrect argument.

    When you get your Job you have 1 other class to take from ( up to level 34ish). ( If you kept making Alts for the sole purpose of 1 Job, You will be missing out on 5 other skills to take from that class.) Making alts for that purpose is pointless.

    Well, they do have a choice to level up another class that they like and get all the awesome stuff for the class as well. In this game it's not just 1 class/Job, if it was SE would have just did it like any other MMO 1 Character= 1 class.
