It's not about need, and this is the most alt unfriendly mmo I've ever played. Only MMO where leveling an alt has genuinely felt miserable to me. In fact so much of this game's content, including cosmetics, being single character only is a huge part of me having zero desire to play an alt. I have none interest in re-grinding or paying real cash for extra copies of my favorite sets, and less interest in unlocking all the crap I've unlocked over the last seven years again. This is a total non solution.
