    Which is really counteractive to the topic when that's not what people are asking for.

    I mean one or two is either situational or reasonable, but 7?
    Because people like to play different characters? Constant Fantasia and name changes isn't cheap.

    Maybe a problem for RPers? I value my time too much to waste a hundred hours leveling a character whenever I want to change a look, name change is worthless.

    I mean, just because it's not a problem for you, doesn't mean it's not a problem. Why comment if you have no experience on the subject?

    I've bought hundreds od dollars worth of fantasias actually, and tried leveling an alt (time sink) - and I can tell you it isn't worth the time, or effort. A name change is worthless, a waste of money, unless you want to RP. I am not saying that people should be spending the amount I have on fantasias, but a hundred hours for each alt is not a little amount of time. If you enjoy leveling alts, frankly I think you are a masochist.

    My characters are specific characters. They have names. I want to see them addressed by their name.

    Like I said, RP. That is a form of RP. Either way, since you have created and leveled alts a name change is worthless - you aren't making your main into a separate entity.

    You avoided this issue, by paying the price in time.

    What I'm saying is, I don't think your post is relevant.

    It's pretty much a problem for people who just like making characters/OCs with or without the RP involved. Can't speak for the ones who don't RP (anymore) but that was also a struggle for me back then.
    Like how people make characters based on a job or role just like how I do it. Things like that. If the game allowed achievements and progress to be shared from my main I'd actually play my alts, or the game in general, much more.

    Nope, it's about priority. If you want alts, then you know it's going to be less convenient. That's just how it is.
