End game... Bored. The facts.

[Kayo]

lol, so basically you hate all current end game content and are already hating the upcoming content before you even tried it.

Why are you even here?

[Davionx]

This game will never have enough content for you to spend 8+ hrs a day grinding through the perceived fast path to gear. You are better off spending your money on a 1mil pc puzzle cause that model is gone guys.

Every MMO has "lateral progression", we call it rolling an alt.

If your on a different character it's not exactly "Lateral", as it is a different character that in turn has to do all over again:

- Profession
- Gathering

They also don't have:

- Cross-classing

Not to mention you have to create a totally different character.

Yes but the current end-game contradicts this system because lock-outs and token caps are shared per character not per job. What's the point in leveling up another job if you are just going to spend all of your Myth on your main job and then use that job to do your 1 run a week Coil run?

Right now you are actually better off creating a completely new character if you want to level up something else because you'll also get an whole new set of timers that don't conflict with your main job.

Cross class abilities
Gear repairs
Gathering your own mats

All want a word with your incorrect argument.

When you get your Job you have 1 other class to take from ( up to level 34ish). ( If you kept making Alts for the sole purpose of 1 Job, You will be missing out on 5 other skills to take from that class.) Making alts for that purpose is pointless.

Well, they do have a choice to level up another class that they like and get all the awesome stuff for the class as well. In this game it's not just 1 class/Job, if it was SE would have just did it like any other MMO 1 Character= 1 class.

which is why I always say to my self that it's better to just make a whole new character if planning to make an alt, and yes this I believe you raised a strong point, cross classing is only useful for the cross class buffs.

So you don't need swift cast and sure cast as a SMN?

reeeeally....

So you have to level Thaumaturge on another character to 26? What is this, half a days work at most? Seems like a small price to pay to actually be able to get Myth gear and do another run of Coil a week.

As far as I'm aware, usable cross class skills pretty much end at level 34. Getting two additional classes up to these levels to support your main is trivial in ARR.

It's just a waist of time to do it on one character then having to do it AGAIN on another.

Arcanist is a prime example, if you wanted SCH and SMN on different Characters you would have to level Arcanist ( SCH/SMN) twice all the way up to 50. Get THM to 15 and CNJ to 15.

I honestly don't think if I wanted to do alts, it would just be a waist of time.

Wait till they add more jobs that branch off from existing classes...
