Account-wide Armoury Bonus please!

What's your account level?

There's no such thing as an "account-progression".

WoW has account level progression in that if you do stuff on one character all your other characters share the same mounts and pets. You max one character you unlock armor to level the others faster. They can add account level stuff if they wanted to for FFXIV since other games do it.

WoW also limits you to one class per character, so it makes more sense in that system. With FFXIV letting you level every class with one character, this would be an entirely pointless addition.

Honestly though, if you're that determined to level an alt then just do it. Why do you care about armory bonuses, since creating a new character means having access to every quest anew. If you really want to level quickly, then just do what you're going to have to do anyway -- play the game. By the time you've finished the story (necessary to unlock 'endgame') you'll have your level 50 armory bonus anyway.

Because its not already stupid easy to level alt classes. Heirlooms were a bloody joke in WoW. Good luck trying to Tank as a fresh character in a group full of Heirlooms, even in solid dungeon blues, they don't match up to Heirloom gear. Especially when you hit the expansion level cutoffs.
Oh and level via PvP as a fresh player against all the twinks with PvP Heirlooms? Lol, my 19 Rogue with 2 shot backstabs + Shadowstep would like a word with you.

Leveling multiple characters is a choice, Just like leveling multiple Jobs. Its encouraged for you to play all on one character. As an altaholic, i plan to have one of every race with Jobs at 50. But theres no need nor benefit to doing it, Nor is there a need for SE to waste time making things to facilitate easing it.
