Actually I have to play alts to manage my inventory. I want every kind of unique gear, so that I can change my outfit as I see fit.
SE keeps adding new gear but they don't add new inventory space, therefore I need to make new characters with other jobs my main don't play so I can have them all.
Also there are Miqote, lalafellin, hyur, elezen, rogadeuyn (I cant spell that one) and soon Au Ra, if the game was meant for one character only there would only be one race.
Mainly because I like having personalities for my characters. So because I am playing the RPG part of an mmoRPG I need to do the main quest and all the silly trials again and again, even if i've already done them and I find them rubbish and boring?
I find that silly. Everyone keeps saying it's a theme park mmo, but they are still gating new players and they need to do all the old stuff to get to the new stuff
