I know multiple people who have "alts" so they can be on multiple raid teams. I know others that have "alts" so they can have all the crafting specializations. You can put your heart and soul into more than just one character. I get sad when I realize I've been spending more time on one character than some others. I honestly feel like I'm neglecting my "alts" when that happens. To me it doesn't matter if the alt is level 1 or level 70, I don't think of any of them as second class characters.

Sadly your definition, my definition or any other player's definition of what is an alt doesn't matter. SE get to decide this, not us.

SE doesn't have a definition for an alt. And restricting housing to 1 house per server per account isn't defining an alt. Is the main the first character on the server? The most geared? The most played? There is no definition from SE on what would make an "alt" vs a "main".

Does SE ever actually call them alts though? As far as I know, they only ever call them characters, they never give any sort of primary/secondary distinction.

So unless I'm mistaken by SE's definition there are no "alts" in the games, to them all characters are equal, alts are just a term we've added.

My point still stands. If anyone gets to decide what counts as an alt and what doesn't, it's SE.
