That's not something I've ever dealt with in another MMO - heck, in WoW I regularly and actively switched between 3-8 characters and frequently bumped against the 50 character limit with alts I was playing less seriously or often. I never felt like I was setting myself behind either, at least until I started pushing mythic raids in Legion (screw the artifact power system tbh). Maybe the ease and fun of playing alts in other games has spoiled me, I don't know.

    Frankly I'd want to see them remove the need to unlock every single one of the MANY things that need to be unlocked on an alt when you've already done them on your main, make it easier to copy hotbar and such settings over to other characters, allow mail, allow house sharing, possibly add a shared bank of some kind, and allow sharing of mounts and minions.

    Things I know not everyone would agree with, but things I'd want to see at least some of for it to even be remotely worth paying an extra $2 a month for alts on the same server.
    I'm all for more consideration for alts. There is a lot they can do but whether they will or not is another story. I know back around 4.2 for the housing additions after the Shirogane Fiasco they talked about looking at letting alts share housing. Obviously that hasn't happened and whether or not it will is debatable. I own multiple homes and got them specifically because my alts couldn't share a house and it was permitted at that time to do so. I don't feel guilty in the least about it.

    Relative to my offserver alts I create small FC's so I can share a house with them and a few friends. That works fine offserver for me but really shouldn't have to be a solution to sharing a house.

    I'd be all for a common bank for many items. The idea of sharing story would be nice and now with the advent of new game plus one can replay story if they want even without an alt. I've used skips on some and took others through story before skips were a thing. It's very frustrating for me to not have Mogstation items account wide for example but I do without for the most part.
