Alt players and the future.

[TaleraRistain]

If you're a crafter you probably have alts from when SE had specialist-only recipes since they limited you to only 3 specialists.

There's a lot I'd like to see to make the game more alt-friendly:

- Mogstation purchases account-wide
- Account-wide achievements/minions/mounts (WoW learned this lesson)
- Shared storage
- Ability to share housing
- Mailing alts
- XP bonus on alts for having a max level character
- Account-wide access to glamour choices

None of those are impossible. They all exist in other games. Some decades older than XIV. SE needs to join the modern era and realize that people make alts for various reasons.

A lot of these things would likely only work for ALTs on the same datacenter.
A lot of people though, I'd wager, make ALTs specifically to have a character on multiple datacenters.

SE is slowly eliminating the reasons for players to need alts.

Except for the simple matter of being able to have multiple characters available to you simultaneously, without requiring a Fantasia or name change.

Unless they develop a system where you can have an entire party accompanying your "single character" and can swap between them at will (which would be fantastic), alts will be needed.

Why are you capitalising "alt" (alternative character) like it's an acronym?
