There will be a way to gain advantages if we have gardening and such later on. That was one of the reason to have 16 characters in XI. 16 times the profit.

Having several characters will be useful for any in-game activity that is :

- Repeatable
- Have a cooldown / some kind of limitation
- Doesn't require a high level character or a well geared character
- Profitable in some way (and that profit needs to be transferable)
