I immediately wondered about this because that seems to go against the grain in FFXIV. I also felt a kinship spirit with this person because I have three separate level 80 characters and one other close to 80, and then a few in the mid-50s range.

But I really don't do anything on those alts other than the MSQ and maybe an alliance raid or two. I level them mostly for aesthetic reasons. (I like to play as different races.) Whereas on my main, I do everything the game has to offer and make sure it's geared.

So I'm curious. Do you have alts and if so, do you also clear all the content on them? Keep them geared, have everything unlocked, etc.?
I have one alt, I rolled - I have a few threads that talk about this - and I am doing all the content - why? To experience the story again, save the gil and create a new "story" for my self.
