I have 4 max level in FF14, I'm sure enjoying my 4 different lock out per week, you know you can too right?



Valid complain but ... the heck it has to do with raid lockout. Annoying sure, but not that hard to get around to get the benefit of increase the # of lockout you have.
It has everything to do with raid lockout because of how FF treats classes/characters. A big "selling point" is that you get all the convenience of being able to do it all on one character, instead of needing to do different things on different characters. HOWEVER, unlike XIV which treats characters as completely different entities to the point where you literally cannot interact with your own alts, in other MMOs, outside of certain Bind on Pickup items, such as currencies, or Dungeon/Raid drops, everything can be shipped between alts, so you can basically treat them as, to use the SWTOR term, a Legacy. It is infinitely easier, and often times rewarded, to create other characters in MMOs to experience all of the content, such as crafting/gathering etc. And, they also come with the benefit of giving you increased EXP gain, or bonuses in other ways. They also get their own, individual lockout.

Here. No. Your alts are separate, there's no way to interact with each other, and the only way to get another lockout is to get a completely new character, go through the same grind you went through the first time, just to get back to a point where you can start playing the content you wanted to play in the first place. It's miserable, and a downgrade from every other MMO for no reason.
