    You can make an alt to run second coil twice. Many do. Also, if they have luck like ours, too much caster loot! XD then secondary jobs will start to gear up anyways. Not to forget with 2.3 adding more options for sands and oil, more HA pieces will be passed on due to having Sold BiS item.

    Erm....You know T6-9 have lockouts right? Once you clear you are locked out for the week. My point was that this game lets you play more than one role on a single toon. The game should have a lockout system separated per job, not just your toon as a whole.

    Alts are completely counter productive to the armoury system.

    I like his idea about being able to re-enter new coil as a different class i have often thought they should implement this. I dont like the idea for the fact that it would mean you just grind stuff out faster thus reducing your game goals quicker.

    It's not really faster though...There are 8 battle classes to go through. Would you rather be able to grind gear for alts or just log in once a week to do your weekly and go back to doing something else?

    If he's a new player, he's a ways off of worrying about 2nd Coil lockouts, though. Most content doesn't work like that, and 2nd Coil will eventually be DF like 1st, I'm sure.

    I'm new to this game, but I'm not new to MMO's. Generally I have 2-3 alts I gear depending on if I really like the game or not (I had 5 in swtor). If I was locked out on a toon I just logged into an alt and rolled into the raid with the alt. You can do that in FFXIV I guess, but with cross class abilities and the armoury system itself, the concept of having more than one toon is extremely counter productive.
