Option to unlock content without mandatory MSQ

How about if they made going through the MSQ account-wide? Meaning that you only had to do the MSQ once on your account and if you have alts, you didn't need to do them on said alts again?

It would completely invalidate the sale of MSQ jump potions but...

Not likely to happen. FFXIV does very little that's account wide aside from some rewards like the falcon mount, veteran rewards etc. Even most mog station purposes go to a single character.

It really feels like they thought 'oh well you can do everything with one character in this game so nobody's going to need alts' and never put thought into it after that.

More like "nobody's going to need alts so we don't need to consider any mechanisms for linking multiple characters on an account".

Apparently account-wide mounts and things can only be implemented on a limited basis, so who knows what they were envisaging versus what they've ended up doing. Maybe they programmed it with a finite but seemingly generous number of slots, and now they're realising they're stuck long term and have to use them sparingly in case they run out.

Still, it seems like there are other ways they could get around it. Send purchases to all current characters without the true account-wide tracking that would send it to new alts, or at least give a discount if you purchase for multiple characters in one transaction.

The main thing I want is to be able to send mail to my other characters, and add them as housing tenants for my plot. But making non consumable mogstation purchases, like outfits and mounts, account wide would be a good start. Some things ARE account wide already so I don't buy that they 'cannot' make more things account wide.
