this advantage is minimal, the advantage of the armory system is that when you clear something and a duplicate item drops you have someone else that can use it.

you clear Ravana EX three times and you get 2 WAR axes, you just completely wasted one Axe because after the WAR main got his no one else can use the 2nd one. everybody else that plays WAR in the group only has WAR leveled on their ALT characters.

yes, alts will bypass Tome and Scrip caps but you put in double the effort so you kind of deserve it. it's not a failure of the Armoury System the Armoury System and ALTs are not supposed to be mutually exclusive.

The Armoury System is not out to eliminate all reasons for using alts, that would be an unrealistic expectation. the game overall is still very efficient with one character, being more efficient with multiple characters is not a bad thing.

items get outdated way too quickly for most people to care about capping Eso on multiple characters.
