Why are we forced to create alts to play the game? Having to go through a 15-20hr story multiple times and gearing multiple characters is a big turn off. Is it possible to fix the system?
Thanks

No body “forced you to create alts”
I will play with at least 2 chars, originally 6 but with T3 at launch i will limit myself to just 2 for starter but my wife will just play scrapper class. She is happy with 1 main and no body forcing her to make another character it is her choice.
Moral of the story… Play whatever you like no body forcing you to do stuffs / min-max / you control your enjoyment.

Actually do you know what this game forced me and many others players in my community?
Playing with high ping latency!

Now that’s BS!!
Then again no body forced me to “play” the game and there were many of us who choose not to because of that reason… Sorry if I hijacked your thread…
back to the topic…
With T3 release if you want to maximize your “experience” i learned it is important to choose main character. To build that main char will be very time consuming and depend on your game time you may just end up creating several characters.
Just enjoy the game
There is a easy ingame boost where you can skip the first 50 level without paying real money. The game concept is to play multiple characters and just have fun with them. If this is not the right for you then maybe look for another game or focus just on ohne Charakter. Always complaining about game mechanics… this is the game concept and they wont change that because this game is developed this way…

Well she wont be able to do multiple dungeons a day. You need alts to have more fun.
If boost are in-game then that would make it bearable but forcing people to redo the story 6 times is bad game design.
She will be happy to just do 1 dungeon a day and on the weekend 2 when she has more time.
Then make more alts, nobody stopping you to create alts I think by default 6? It will be time consuming though. Everyone have different definition of enjoyment. I am happy with just 2 chars, my wife is happy with just 1… again the game does not “force” you to make alts if you want min-maxing and have plenty of time do make more chars but i rather focus on just 1 main 1 alt at first then when I am bored i will create more alts

Guess I’ll rephrase then. If I want to enjoy the game for more than an hour, I’m forced to make alts.
Why?
The content is good enough to have plenty of hours of fun each day, even with just one character?
You’d only play said alts for 30 minutes each per day, and you get to choose to do so if you want to grind, no one is forcing you. The gold boost is literally dirt cheap for a level 50 alt that’s completed the main story and gets the ilvl 302 set, sounds like you’re complaining about something you’re oblivious of.
Oh if there’s boost for NA then that’s good. I heard people say no boost for release. So we will be able to buy it with gold ingame?
The fun and engaging content is dailies/weeklies. WIth one character I would get locked out of those pretty quickly?
No one forcing you to create Al’s it will come naturally you are trying new class and then you can fit your mine with the mats and the stuff you get but if you want to be on top 00,1% u will sit 16h a day like in any oder mmo

Yet again no one is “forcing” anyone, the boost system is already confirmed to be in our version. A boost system you can pay with gold.
you are not forced to alt, also you can pay some gold to level your character through the story

Nah, you still have tons of other content. PvP, GvG, Islands, Collectibles, building/upgrading/crafting in the Stronghold, Sea public Events, Raids… Dailies and Weeklies are just the most time-efficient things you can do to get materials to help max your main character, but they’re only a fraction of what you can do with one character 
That’s why usually you only do dailies/weeklies with alts and then go back to your main to do everything else, because everything else is the fun part of the game, not just dailies!
Oh and yes, both the following have been confirmed by CMs:
- Boosts (purchased with real money) won’t be available at launch
- Knowledge Transfer (purchased with gold) will be available at launch.
So, you won’t have to level every single character to 50 through the manual levelling process.
