I am not some 80% raid guy. I am a 100% guy.

I got to 50 on my pld and basically stopped so I could get Stoneskin which turned into getting Swiftcast, etc. which turned into getting A Life of Adventure before 2.1 and I've done it.

Now I look ahead and the grind I just finished, eight classes, 200+ dungeons, 2,450+ fates seems like a walk in the park compared to gearing all eight classes in a reasonable amount of time.

Player A with one character, even at 450 tomes a week, will take 16 weeks worth of caps for relics, that's about four months of capping tomes every week.

Compare that to another person (Player B) who gets four classes to 50 on their main then rolls an alt, say it takes maybe an extra week to get the alt its first 50 due to no bonus then it gets the remaining four classes to 50.

Player B can now get 900 total tomes per week, which is basically a relic's worth of tomes per week. Assuming nothing else, every two weeks player B can complete two relics while Player A can only complete one.

The only difference between the players is one decided to use the armory and the other rolled an alt. As a result the alt can acquire two relics in the time it takes Player A to acquire one. That's two months compared to four months. Player B can easily spend an evening or two grinding it's thm or mrd to 26 or some other class to 34 in the two months of time saved by simply rolling an alt. Player B also gets a second coil lockout and second piece of CT gear on a weekly basis plus an extra 300k from questing while leveling up in exchange for missing cross class skills that can be ground out in a matter of hours and no xp bonus on the alt's first run to 50. Big whoop.

Still not see the problem in these scenarios yet?
