ARR often feels very contradictory in its design (long)

Just because you can choose to play every class doesn't mean you get to end-game raid every class simultaneously. That's not how it works. SE gives you the choice to choose-so choose...and live with the choice. So you can't have your cake at eat it too. It's not a design flaw. If you want to do CT os a WHM you can, if you want to run coil the same week as a BRD you can. You just can't powergear them at the same time in both. You have the easy option to gear up every role in Darklight gear, and then you have to choose.

Just an example:
You can do all of that, you just logout and create a new character.

Main character warrior: Do weekly coil run, cap myth, daily treasure, daily quests, weekly CT. Logout and select your second character

Dragoon: Do weekly coil run, cap myth, daily treasure, daily quests, weekly CT. Logout and select your third character

White Mage: Do weekly coil run, cap myth, daily treasure, daily quests, weekly CT. Logout and select your fourth character and then repeat for however much you want to play.

Minus maybe daily quests for "rep" or coil for gear funneling "abuse" all those caps could've just been integrated onto the armory system with unique lockouts to each class as opposed to complete character lockout.

people are right with the whole lock out, your better off doing alts like most MMOs force you to because you can gear them all up at the same time, here its backwards, all on one guy, but wait weeks upon weeks to put them in relic/aliagn/CT gear. Its all there for the sake of making the game last longer because there is not much endgame....and you get to it in stupidly short times (no idea why they make it so quick)

Its the reason most MMOs dont last, people think the large crowd is casuals, but casuals in general dont like MMOs because they take time, which is why every time MMOs pop these days people are sick of them in 6 months and they end up f2p...way more people play more like hardcore (or deticate more time to than they really think). Make leveling to cap take a while longer, just throw some stuff that takes some brains to do in-between or are worth doing the whole time going up so people dont have a reason to rush.
