The thing is, even for story replay-ability they have created New Game Plus so more and more there is less incentive for us to create and play alts. Which to me can only be a good thing.
I understand the OP's point. Some of us have a certain level of roleplay to our characters. As an example, I've had two characters in every MMO since Everquest. A wizard and his half brother, a warrior. When I started a couple of months ago, I made the wizard character into a summoner and leveled him to 35. I then figured I'd test out the job system and made him a Gladiator. Though the class seems fun, I hated seeing Khelendrose as a tank of any type. For more than 20 years I have played him as a caster only. So, I made an alt, his brother, as a tank. I just can't fathom running one as both. It is not enjoyable because I have 20 years of history with the two separate characters.

I understand the frustration behind not being able to share resources with alts, considering nearly every other MMO out there does so. At least from a shared bank perspective.
