[boopadoop]

Agree with this. Made an alt, had to buy the story skip to prevent myself from sloughing through it. Guess that's the point.
The most I miss all the glams I bought :/

Since when is WoW alt friendly?

Asking FFXIV to be alt-friendly is like asking for more homeruns in football. It just isn't how the game is designed. If you want homeruns, watch baseball. If you want slam dunks, watch basketball. If you want alts, you probably need to look at another game.

Some changes would be nice, like mailing alts or giving them access to your personal house. Given that this just hasn't happened and we are nearing the 10 year mark of this game, we shouldn't expect that sort of change.

You know that's demonstrably false..,

if that was the case then people wouldn't have any reason to have any alt, asides personal preferences.

and expecting no change is basically saying there is no point asking for any change at all..,

which you know full well there will always be things that need to change or evolve.

These things need to be asked til there is change.., and this is one of the least harmful changes that also benefit single character players which aren't the minority or the majority. Since it would boost many things in the system that they would enjoy that is QoL..,


You're practically pandering to those who are against something without fully knowing the exact thing they're asking for.

One thing for sure.., if this game wasn't for alts.., there wouldn't be accountwide shop items, or other factors that help towards that end.
or the fact that these things overlap/are adjacent to many other things/QoL/Changes/Options/preferences players ask.


The whole this game isn't, or cater to what you want works for many other games or topics.
But not in this one, which is part of many things MMOs generally have.[ALL classes/jobs/gatherers aren't an excuse against it either since you can't even gear all your characters anyways for all content. which is why a undeniable amount of players have alts as well..,]

Its not only RPers. But raid alts and alts on different datacenters... I just dont want to bother farming some relic glam again just to have it on another DC alt. Make glam dresser per account, not character madge

I met people that uses alts for a lot more than just RP especially now with the server travel. Some uses them for "market control" through the same DC (by putting each alt in a server in the same DC, leveling them and selling specific stuff across the DC like a "tiny empire business") xD

I have 7 chars in my server now (the 8th slot is reserved for a fem Hroth ).

Each one at a milestone in the story. Why? to repeat all emotions from cutscenes while having a personality and a "concept" for each of them. One is a magic master while other loves to punch enemies... Even the choices are different based on this "concept" stuff I give to each of them.

About transfering itens, people usually uses a friend (a very trusted one) to transfer stuff from one alt to another. But, this is really annoying and the lack of a better way must be adressed. We should be able to transfer freelly like if any alt we have was a friend in our friend list.

Some people have "shell FCs" just to use the company chest to share stuff through their alts. And this is something I do right now, sadly... =/ I only have a FC for my alts to share stuff and put their gils to a united use.

I only have this FC for that reason and I would not have it if I could be able to send mogmails to my alts at will... =/

Why I don't get a personal house on different servers with my alts. I'll make a small FC for them and a few select friends. Not being able to share a house is simply ridiculous

They've made a lot of effort to make it very alt friendly recently. Unlocks are account wide. Even to the point you can skip large MSQ milestones on the alt if you've already finished it.
