Not schooling you Anova, just using the quote as a basis for my rambling. :P

It's implicated, but I'll just emphasize that if you level several classes on one character, you can not gear them all up at the end, since you can only collect a limited amount of currency each week to spend on gear. The currency you get is per character, not per class.

Well. You can. But if you want to gear up in any sort of efficient matter, it's not really a sensible option compared to just creating a new character for each class you want to gear up. Every 2nd to 3rd week you can buy one armor piece. If you spread the armor pieces out between different classes, it will take an extremely long time for one to collect a full set. You can only enter raids once per week as well, which essentially means you have to pick one of your classes to raid on.

This is not a concern to most players however, as gearing several classes requires a fairly large time investment.

If you've played other MMOs and like to have alts you can gear up in current raids and dungeons however, you should seriously consider to create a new character for this purpose. As Anova said, that means you get to collect currency and raid as you please on your alt.
