Feeling punished for having alts...

[Missbone]

Well its not that u need alt in this game in the first place, the idea of this game is centered around having one char that can be and do everything ingame and represents you. Except for maybe playing with friends on other servers the is no real reason to have an alt and even than a server transfer would be the better choice if you plan playing with them for a long time. If you want an alt because of more space or a second, third or whatever housing thats just beeing greedy and no excuse.

If you want to skip story or level up faster, there is stuff in the mog store that can help you with that.

To play across multiple armor classes at one's maximum potential during progression, you do need an alt, since gear lockouts and weekly currencies are essentially account-based, rather than per-roll, unless you have a separate character for each of those roles.

Granted, there are incredibly few people who would ever want, let alone need, to optimize across multiple armor classes during progression.

Well that maybe a reason but usually you focus on 1 class as main when you are a progress raider that plays with a fixed group or does savage and so on. And as you said i doubt there are that many players that focus on more than 1 or 2 classes for the hard raid content. If you want a shortcut its like already mentioned, you can pay to save time. Nothing is for free, if you want something you have to work towards in, one way or another.
