I'm an altaholic which I know is weird for this game. But I love variety. My FC mates think I'm crazy for having alts in a game that rewards you for doing everything on one character.
Yesterday, I grouped with a couple people in Bozja doing skirmishes and CEs, and one of them started talking about how they needed to do all this stuff again to gear up their alts. I immediately wondered about this because that seems to go against the grain in FFXIV. I also felt a kinship spirit with this person because I have three separate level 80 characters and one other close to 80, and then a few in the mid-50s range.
But I really don't do anything on those alts other than the MSQ and maybe an alliance raid or two. I level them mostly for aesthetic reasons. (I like to play as different races.) Whereas on my main, I do everything the game has to offer and make sure it's geared.
