I DO get that this game wasn't made for alts, but there are just some players like myself that like to have alts for whatever reason. For me, it's all about having different characters that look different and are different races and/or genders. And I'm sorry, but I won't spend tons of money on Fantasia bottles.
This 100% and to add some more.
I've been playing since 1.0. My main has been all 90s since 3 months into EW and I've work on other content as the mood suits. My other 1.0 character is almost all 80s and then I'll take her through EW and get everything to 90s again. I've played through EW on another character just because (I know I can do new game plus, but I like ACTUALLY leveling. I also like going through with a new character who I imagine has a different personality than my main and answering questions differently. It is a RPG after all) and as soon as I get all 90s on the character I'm working on, I'll start a new one to do that same. Yes, the game wasn't intended for ALTS, but we have them for different reasons. I've been playing consistently for a long time (I like replaying the story and leveling jobs) and, generally, I think it is time the XIV team realizes that the longer the game goes, the more likely this is to keep occurring. People are going to keep maxing out characters (or whatever other reason they have) and wanting to start over, but be able to share resources between them.

SWTOR actually has done this pretty well and I would love to see it here.
1) Shared housing: Main chooses who on the account can have access to housing and that character can log in and do everything that the character that purchased the house did.
2) Shared storage: I end up using the FC chest or one of my kids' characters on another account to act as a go between for crafting items and other stuff (minions, orchestrions, etc) It would be really nice if I could just put everything into a shared storage and be able to move items between characters
