No shit. we get 0 gold and everything takes 1 year to go through. Iâll gladly have multiple characters if the characters are something I want to play or if I can boost through the dogshit parts of the game. But you canât, so thereâs no point in having an alt. And thatâs on top of people already hating the concept of alt characters.
there are many benefits to having alts though cannot deny that. you are exaggerating quite a bit, a new player using the 1302 express event will be able to get to T3 in about 2 weeks. and they can use the vern and feiton power passes if they want to play alts.
Even RMT and whales needs alts.
They just push them higher. The game is pretty much done after you cleared the legion raids⌠would be a waste if you push one char on 15xx+ and then, run Vykas/Valtan/argos in 1h just to wait another 7 days.
Thats what alts are for, playing the content a bit more often.
Many LA players are WOW casual andies that main 1 char or FFXIV players where 1 character can play every job so they hate the concept of alts
One of the forum mods did, but not Roxx or Shadow_Fox. It was someone who rarely posts (might not even be here any more). They were responding to a particular poster trying to discuss how severe RMT bans should be in general (even though mods donât influence that).
And then repeated ad-nauseum (often) out of context.
As for the topic of using alts more â If it was available, I would have purchased Power Passes for at least 4 of my T1 alts by now.
I want to see how they work out in T3 in real situations and do things like theorycrafting, but canât bring myself to slog through T1 again.
Also donât want to spend like a couple thousand gold and a week of real time waiting for knowledge transfers to finish one by one overnight.
Yeah itâs this comment, but he/she isnât a mod anymore. It might be because of the backlash this comment had.
selling any mats 
they were all extremely inflated, making gold has gotten a lot harder over time actually except through raids which are weekly.
you could basically make double the gold you can now just before june 16th when they finally did smth about the bots and even that gold was a tiny fraction of the gold you could make selling t3 mats all the way at the start, or even just t2 mats.
FFXIV job design is top tier mate, no waste of time with alts unless that is your thing or for roleplaying.
WoWâŚwell yeah, the thing with WoW is you go full sweat lord or you go casual it has no middle ground, though I havent played it for more than a month straight per expansion since the times it was good(WotLK).
making alts and getting them to a decent ilvl in west ark takes too much time and effortâŚor money if you are a paypigâŚand for a lot of people investing that amount of time into a game that has the ominous aura of doom that west ark has just doesnt feels right, it feels like this version of LA can always get worseâŚso why bother?
When i say " first month", I mean âFebâ 
Even now, itâs helpful to new players, they just pass the main storyline and push their main char to lv 302, where can they make 1200g to get two T1 alts? These two free T1 alts is also useful to these new players.
I have seen a lot of guys with on 15xx , but with very low roster lv.
Low roster lv. means no or little alts , right?
Isntâ the main point of having many high alt is to do Legion raid/Abyss raid only char at end game. We are just at the tip of the iceberg and once you reach HW level on all your alt isnt that just 30 mins on each alt per per legion raid each week for massive gain?
Or maybe alts are just not fun and game doesnt have much replayability.
this already says you are not F2P. F2P means 0$ invested in to game.
Even at that stage, donât you need to run dungeon/guardian with alts to acquire honing materials for main char?
In my opinion, These investments doesnât make me strong, just makes me look cool. So still F2P

The Whole POINT of F2P is playing with out swiping and no matter for what! If you Swiped your NOT F2P anymore! You can call yourself - Mackerel as your not Dolphin and not even close to Whale!
Not really, the mat is so cheap at that stage so u can just get the raw gold and buy mat instead.
F2p just means you dont invest into p2w mechanics, not that you dont spend money on the game. You can buy out hundreds in cosmetics and youâd still be âf2pâ.
I understand people like taking things black and white but have some nuance.
I have a very hard time to digest those words
