[Suggestion] FFXIV Alt-Friendliness

[TheRealDesastr]

To be completely fair, folks who want to do this all for gil would just be doing so for it already. I don't think sharing cosmetics at all would make a difference. Technically speaking, everyone would still need to go through the same path. Either buy a boost for BOTH story AND a combat class, OR just story and then level up the combat class. Supposing I don't care about any cosmetics, I'd do that, or just skip cutscenes and carry on, and then level up my retainers, have a friend trade me some of my gil from my main (you'd need to do that anyway, shared cosmetics or not), and get going with an army of retainers. Sharing or not sharing wouldn't make a difference to me, since I'd do it all anyway.

It's really already a 'problem' (if you have a problem with it - I personally do not.) I know of several people who have an army of alts who do that and take no annoyance to it, because the amount of time and effort it takes to do all of that (or money, so yes, ptw if you consider earning gil winning) is super substantial.
