Make FFXIV More Alt-Friendly... Please??????

[MaxCarnage]

I have a few alts I'm slogging through MSQ. I didn't care for MSQ on my main, and I still don't care for it now, but with my main being all 90s, it gives me something to do.

I refuse to buy skips because they are too expensive for what they are and for how many alts I have, as well as the fact that you'd still have to play through EW even after you bought one.

The QoL thing I want in regards to alts is the ability to transfer your character and HUD settings to them. I know you're able to do it on PC in an unintended way, but there's no way to do it on PS. Let us import our HUD settings on our alts through an in-game feature, dammit.

I only see alts only for:

- Playing in a different region that DC travel can't reach with your main.
- If you are a raider and need to funnel more time gated gear to your static by using a alt.
- Replaying the MSQ because New game+ just doesn't feel the same.
- If someone really doesn't want to talk to their friends but wants to play the game.

I have a alt on Materia to help a friend with queue times and story progression, and a alt to replay the story. I only log on when they need help, or if I want to spend time with the story.

Just keep in mind, (No one wants to hear this.) SE has services like character transfers, fantasias, name changers, and even story skip services to cater to these needs. Only difference is that it costs real life money for these. If you don't wanna spend extra money; you have to do the work yourself. I don't think its logical for a business to axe their services because of demands like these.

I would love if they implement the system WoW has. I love this game, but very alt unfriendly. I don't want to unlock all the jobs on 1 character.

[GTK0HLK]

I do like unlocking all classes on one character. then again I used to play a defunct mmo that let you have all the jobs, and had many alts.(you can even switch class mid Duty, long as there wasn't combat.)
it also let you have a accountwide storage for specific glamour, as well as Statted Gear.[but only I'd some higher rarities]

That said, I'd want it to fit XIV.
Like adjustments to Relics if you've completed their final step<and or all the Relics of a expac>[eureka could be one of the few/only exceptions, since the journey is kinda worth it.]

I'd definitely buy nearly all the mogstore items if they were Accountwide.(course it would then require a rebalancing of shop prices, but at that point I'd accept it, as long as it's not beyond the edge of reasonable)

The thing with alts, accountwide, and other adjacent things.
as one thing improves, others get affected.
Just as an overhaul of the glamour/armoire system would pay well to such things.

All boats float.

[Which is to say, if all at once, it is undoubtedly a monumental task. but since it's all Interrelated, any improvement or QoL would eventually lower the bar even further. Specially with many adjacent things. and not in the way some imagine/argue in different threads. if they build it to eventually make the task reachable, it will happen. if they don't. they'll hear and reach an impasse of their own making, just like with certain content/activities/systems. being held back when requiring other things to function.]

msq and lvl skips on the online story 07

[seerstone]

i think its pretty self explanatory why ffxiv will never be alt friendly. how else would they make money off mogstation story / level skips?

[ValkyrieL]

Go check out Lost Ark to see how they have a handle on RMT, you are living in Paradise compared to there lol
