If there's no penalty, then I can loot up to 8 gears, 3 upgrade items and one weapon token. Repeat for my 7 static mates' alts (clearing once for each), by the next week our alt
    From a design standpoint no one cares about world and server first its a moot point. the loot system is in place not to prevent gearing your main class quickly which I've already suggested the solution to that problem. no one needs to worry about the very very very small amount of people who will level alts to get more raid loot that won't help with world first progression anyway as they are alts so its not like you can share the gear across the account

    Well I'm not the dev so I won't say I know how much they care about it. It does help in the progression race since usually you race under the name of a static/fc, so your alts would count. Tbh it's a moot point if the raid difficulty is as low as creator savage though, but if the race lasts for 3 weeks of longer it'll be a decent amount of advantage (3 people with upgraded tomestone weapons vs 8 people if they abuse the system like I explained).
