    One potion allows the overcoming of a content wall, more than that promotes a culture of paying for everything instead of playing.

    To the OP: if you are wanting the job potion, then levelling the job could be accomplished for free very easily before 4.1, if you are wanting the story one for an alt then I would say that this is not an alt friendly game and everything can be done on one account. The limit also controls things like using ALTs to circumvent specialist crafting
    Honestly, does it really matter? If someone wants to pay hundreds of dollars to jump multiple jobs, I couldn't care less. They don't win anything by it nor does it impact me in any way. The alternative is they'll just grind PotD, FATEs or PvP.

    As for Specialist crafting, that is no longer much of a circumvention. Soul of the Crafter tokens are sold for 480 Red Scrips. I can make five Chimerical Felt Alb of Healing right now, which are not even Stormblood items, and have enough to switch Specialists. The only benefit to alts beyond roleplaying is Savage loot drops.

    There is however this one caveat:

    Alts can still serve a purpose for bypassing that.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    Ahh, I missed this. Thanks for the info! Suppose my alts still have a purpose yet

    Not necessarily. To offer an example, I rotate three melees for my current static and pugged on Warrior throughout Creator. If I wanted to run two statics or have a second character so I wouldn't screw my static out of loot drops when I PF, the last thing I feel like doing is leveling up four jobs all over again. Granted, I almost certainly would because I'd rather keep the $100. But I can't quite begrudge someone else who was willing to spend money to avoid leveling their alts.
