    I don't use Alts I find them a waste of time. Why would you want to repeat what you do 3 times or 8 times? When you can do it all with 1? A bit like buying 8 copies of the same game and playing it over and over again doing the exact same thing. boring if you ask me an totally pointless.

    The ONLY benefit I find by having ONE extra character is for specialist and that's it. I know there's people out there that have lots and lots of alts so they can raid with other people. Seems noble enough but a whole waste of time IMO.

    The first 15 levels of MSQ is why I started with alts. I wanted to see all the city questioned (which you can not do on one character). Then I got addicted. Although I mostly do my alts now when I want to cry.

    I am collecting the watch weapons an alt. If I don't make it oh well.

    I have two alts, one of them was actually my very first character that I made on Adamantoise, but he wasn't even level 20 so I just restarted on Cactuar. Aside from that, I haven't touched them since. I kind of have them for when I want to still play FF, but want to remain anonymous.

    As for farming mounts/minions on them...I think I will pass on that. Especially with how long it took to get some of the ones I have on my main.

    Other than the freebie event minions, I don't go out of my way to get the same mounts/minions on each character. I tend to try and assign mounts/minions/barding to characters I think they match up with. Would love if they made this stuff account wide.

    I've now got four characters... urgh, there needs to be an altoholics anonymous meeting or something. ._. Anyway; yes alts can be a chore on this game, but sometimes I just want to play a different character. I love making up characters in general (wouldn't mind being an author), designing them, creating their personality.... so when I play a game that lets you create your own playable character, I always have a lot of ideas... and usually end up trying to make a bunch of different ones. Yeah its probably an addiction.

    Account-wide needs to be a thing for mounts, minions and barding. Maybe somehow glamours too (a system similar to WoW's new transmog system would be awesome). ESO also has account-wide mounts, pets and costumes. Can't speak for any other MMOs though as I only play those.

    I get easy ones on my alts, like from events, but I'm not picky about getting everything for them.

    Anything bought from the Mog Station should be account-wide.

    I don't really see that the ones from in-game achievements would need to be account-wide, though. (For instance, the first time the Yokai event came around, I finished everything on my main and only got part way through on a couple alts. This time it wouldn't give me anything to do if I didn't have those other alts who hadn't yet finished everything.)

    Better an alt addiction than a fanta one! I used to feel like I had the latter, 10 dollars to change a character and another 10 to rename builds up real fast. In comparison, leveling alts is free and you make easy money off them! ...so I have all 8 slots filled on Balmung ^^;

    I usually get all of them holiday event items and if theres a mount/minion/title that suits them I try to casually farm it. My main gets priority, but once he gets everything I want for him, its off to the alts.

    I have three characters and I try to get everything I can on all of them. Its a tad annoying when one character gets lucky drops (like puff of darkness) and then i lose repeatedly on the other characters. But I keep at it.
