[Suggestion] Increase number of characters per world from 8 to 10 (or from 8 to 12)

[Roflcopter]

We currently have a maximum of 40 characters per service account under a standard subscription with a limit of 8 characters per world.


I would like that limit to be increased from 8 characters to 10 or 12 characters per world.

Given that you can have every job maxed out on one character if you wish, is there any value to alts other than aesthetics? Genuinely asking since I’m pretty new to the game. Started in December and just finished Endwalker a couple weeks ago.

Roleplaying. Some people will want a separate character with a separate character history.
Raid loot. You can only have a chance at loot once per week from each raid floor, but if all 8 of you have 8 alts you could clear 8 times to guarantee loot on eachother's mains. I don't think many people bother though.
Free extra retainers to sell items on the market board or to sell items on other servers, but then you need a person or FC chest in the middle to transfer items and gil between characters.
To play on other data centers (but this won't be a problem once we have data center travel).

There isn't much reason and it's not very common to have more than one serious character.
