This would still considerably accelerate the gearing process though, all it would take is a couple of alts or character exchange. Not a great idea.

Think about a simplistic strategy: a static whose members have 1 alt character each. They'll let 2 DPS play on their main character while everyone else is on their alt and let them have all the loot. Then they all swap to their main characters except for the 2 DPS, clear again and gain new loot. So it'll take half the amount of weeks to get the same amount of gear. And I'm pretty sure that there are even more efficient strategies.

With more than 1 alt per player, you can potentially ensure a round of gear for all the main characters in the party every single week...
