Feeling punished for having alts...

[Tlamila]

Why do people still need to justify to some random troll the value of alts?
Alts are a thing, deal with it, if you don't like them just don't make one, but stop going against people who make them (as per game possibilities).

You also can play the whole game with just one mount, they all have the same function anymore, the rest is just fluff so why collect more, right? They should just force people to play with only one mount.

Alts utterly lack value outside of roleplaying and fringe raiding uses that are questionable at best. This game has more severe problems than the 'alt experience'. For example, the garbage state of healers, the stale content cycle, the fact we're getting LESS content. Sure, give feedback on the fact leveling alts sucks - but it's not really that important.

I love my whm... sorry they made it even more fun to play. And what do alts have to do with your healer issue.

Congrats, you're not a Scholar or Astrologian player then. Scoot along. Also, please - I'm using example of bigger problems than this alt nonsense.

Find another thread then healer issues don't belong in here. And so sorry alts aren't your thing but hey you're enttiled to your view. Me and many other enjoy our alts daily. And I might add mine are all endgame and not simply for role play.

So, you realize I'm not the one making this thread about that, right? I'm not the one who keeps mentioning them. What I am saying is that this thread is laughable, given people are whining about how alts suck to play when they don't need to play one and there are much larger issues. I do play an alt, and would I say it was worth it? Not really. Alts are not mandatory or useful in FFXIV, unlike other MMOs, and that's fine.

They don't suck to play. Getting some perks like sharing a house aren't unreasonable. I can share a house with a friend but not even with my own alt. Can't even use the mendor in my mains house or easily teleport to it. If alts could share a house perhaps there would be a lot fewer multiple home owners so many love to cry about. What is laughable is people coming in here saying alts aren't worth the time and effort and trying to poo poo anyone asking for some reasonable relief to make having them a bit easier.

And I might add my Main is an Omni everything and that hasn't stopped me from making alts I enjoy.

While you're entitled to your own opinion about alts, calling it "laughable" and "whining" isn't really constructive to the topic at hand. If you don't feel that this thread is necessary, why don't you just say that and move along? You are clearly and intentionally invalidating our "alt concerns" because it's not a problem that you have because we find value in it differently than you do. It seems like what you are doing is more malicious than anything else. High horse. Please get off of it.

I, for one, believe that this game, while clearly alt unfriendly, should be just a bit more accommodating for us who do have alts. Perhaps have limited transferrability of items across all our characters. (i.e. be able to mail things to ourselves/alts, allow our alts to join the FC we're in/we created, etc.) I don't mind doing all the MSQ on alts again all that much when skip books (level and MSQ) exist. But small QoL changes would be nice.
