Communal outcry against sub-prime gear lockouts

[Ryios]

Join the dark side and level another character (different toon, e.g. an alt) like the rest of us and bypass the 2nd job problem. On an alt you can farm 300 myth (450 after 2.1) separately from your main toon. You can run BCB twice, CT gear twice, etc etc etc.

So basically, my main is my tank. My Alt is my healer, and eventually I'll level another one for DPS. And I do all my crafting/gathering on my tank.

If you just do Hunting Log, Story Quests, required dungeons, and fates you can level an alt to 50 in about 5 days at 4 hours a sit.

It sucks mailing stuff to alts (you can't), so I just get my alt's to their retainers and post a 1 gil item on the ah for 100,000 gil or w/e then log on my main and buy it. Or I have a friend trade me stuff.

To level an alt, I basically followed this path

1: Get all aethrytes in starting nation
2: Do Story quest, hunting log, and a leve or 2 till 15
3: Get all aehterytes in the other 2 nations
4: Do Satasha etc to 20
5: Get Chocbo
6: Grind out 2k seals with fates, and GC Hunting Log
7: Go get every teleport point in the game
8: Continue story mode and save all quests before level 30 for cross class jobs
9: Use quests/fates/dungeons > level 30 to get to 50

Takes about a week 4 hours a night
