But I can't really agree with the last part. Ofc its made for alts, why would there be caps for poetics for instance? With more characters I can get more poetics.
Also for raids, you get locked out after beating a turn in a current raid . With more characters you can bet it again, with other players, or the same players.
So I see loads of reasons to get alts.

Other maybe less important reasons, you can be female/male, you can be a lot of different races. So I can't agree with you that this game isn't made for alts, then there wouldn't be lockouts imo

Hence alts are viable, since you can gear up more classes in a single week- With the current system it takes x weeks to gear up ONE class, and since this game lets you play all classes on one character we should be able to get, say "tankpoetics" "healer poetics" "casterpoetics" "meleepoetics". It isn't made for multiclasses really since you can decide on gearing up one class to max, or getting gear for each class every week but you can't gear them all up until cap is gone

Um...your argument was alts being a reason for the cap. The cap doesn't exist to support alts. It exists to slow down the gearing process. With or without alts being possible the cap would still be there. The game is designed to level multiple classes, whether you level multiple jobs is your choice and is supported with various means of getting high-level gear for various jobs.
