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

[LaylaTsarra]

I have attempted alts 3 times and each time had to give up at level 50 or shortly before that.

I usually enjoy making alts but it is too much of a PITA to unlock every feature again.

I have 3 beautiful alts and they are rotting because really, SE made every single unlock so tedious that I can't be arsed to go through it again....

I agree it is a lot of work getting though story, unlocking all the content needed to play dungeons and trials, and so on. I certainly didn't touch any of the side quests other than those needed to unlock dances, glamour and the like. I personally would prefer if they allowed the use of different races using the same account by being able to save the look. It will only get harder for new players to consider making them given there is so much to do story wise even after one hits 50 and it will only get harder as new updates and expansions are added.

Personally I adore being able to experience all the different emotes and animations related to each race. I'd probably have more if that were possible. I leveled one of my alts as a Lala but decided to go AuRa when that race was introduced. If they introduce a new race in 4.0 I'm not sure it'll be worth the effort to do again.

Relative to gear if you create and use only one role with your alt running an expert roulette once a day will pretty much assure you will be well geared and able to do the latest content. The roles on my alts are actually higher than the same roles I have on my main from a gear perspective. My pally on my alt for example is ilv 206 where that same role on my main is only ilv 184 do to tome caps and gearing other roles as a priority.
