Feeling punished for having alts...

[LaylaTsarra]

Skipping main story is easy. Buy a skip like you would on World of Warcraft.
Want to share all that stuff? Use your main to play all the jobs you're interested in. I only have one character and I recently got my 15th class to 70+ All my 15 classes share inventory, achievements, mounts, minions, banks, housing, retainers, seasonal event items, and GC rank. I don't feel punished at all.

LOL my main has all jobs, crafts and gather leveled...although I've been saving her for last for the 70 to 80 push and it hasn't stopped me from leveling alts. Some I've done taking them through story but more recently I've gotten skips for some of them. I have multiple level 80 toons on Chocobo, Gilgla, Balmung and Siren. I didn't say I feel punished I just said it would be nice and it hasn't stopped me from leveling them because it's something I enjoy.

I also manage to share things with them using FC chests in my personal free companies off server and even on my home world of Siren. The alt hate by some is amusing. It's fine you don't have to create or use them if it's not your thing. I personally don't see any harm in sharing housing (would have stopped many from buying homes for their alts), achievements, minions, mounts and things I purchase from Mog but that's me.

That's the reason I'll never understand how ppl can have the patience to level multiple alts and why I used to be a fantasia addict

I don't want to have to fantasia to use different races I enjoy. I love Viera at the moment and am so happy they're here. I also enjoy my Kitty (who was my Beta toon and who is still with me), my Aura and my main which is an Hyur Midlander. I even have an Hrothgar who will get some love at some time during this xpac cycle.
