I'd argue it's too easy to gear up alts. As I tank WP/AK I'm collecting tons of dungeon drops and tomes for my alts. When I hit 50 on my war I rocked that AF set while I slowly accumulated i55 and i60 drops as well as tomes for eventual i70. This took time. But when my monk hits 50? whatever I can't just throw tomes to get instant i70 gear will be filled with AK i60. Boom nearly coil ready fresh out of the leveling box. The fact is you can gear your alts while on your overly geared main. What other game (ffxi excluded) lets you do that? Gearing alts is easy. This game is honestly one of the most alt friendly mmos I've played.
