You just switch jobs with the one character that you need lol. FF14 is not designed around alts. That’s why the job system is what it is.
You are allowed 5 characters when I played. I was checking out servers, I check out the animations for the races, the starter zones, the gametype feels for each character, how different classes feel.
I already had experience for wow so I set up my keybinds like WoW. What I didn’t know is what class I wanted to play. And I didn’t even find that out until after I started leveling a few characters. This was years ago. When I checked the game out. Since I am a final fantasy fan, I think it was around Legion but idk which expansion I checked it out. I do play final fantasy games, just haven’t really done the mmos. Since I normally enjoy there single player games. In fact probably my favorite is ffx.
I was interested in FF14 because there is a connected universe, and some update bridged it off with ff13 lightning returns. But sure assume why I did that. In final fantasy games you normally have a party of like 3+ party members. So checking out the classes was important to me because I have favorite classes in the single player games like monks/dragoons/summoners/warriors with elemental swords. So checking out the gameplay flow was important for me.
I guess you do not understand that need if you are satisfied with one character though.
I understand that you’re playing the game in a way that wasn’t intended. 5 years from now you’ll be complaining about the lack of alt support in a game where alts are redundant.
I will complain because the forums were made to offer feedback, if it makes a better experience then that’s better for the game. Instead of just ignoring issues and letting subs decrease. Worse thing I leave, maybe this game gets better or not. It’s worth a try to make a game better. I would rather try then not try.
As would many of us, I just wish some would realize people are passionate about WoW, or FFXIV, or whatever and want it to be the best it can be for them, and others, instead of best for just a handful.

Your feedback only benefits players like you…of which there is one. The game was better when they didn’t listen to you guys. Stop killing the game. If you want an RPG where you can one shot everything, use console commands in fallout.
He has multiple FF14 alts. There are probably 10 people on earth that do that lol. His ideas are ludicrous.
How does it benefit only me? If you could get upgrades from just beating bosses as a normal player if all pve gear was upgradeable? You could pick the pieces you want to upgrade. Start from lower ilvl more grinding. Means you can make a bis piece from a lower difficulty setting if you want or farm the high difficulty stuff so less valor farming. And this would just be until valor cap? That’s you making decisions and better then reforging. And you can tailor your bis, or if you want to spend your time making fun builds you can? How is that bad for when we get valor capped?
Hey, I did not say that passion might not lead to some…questionable ideas. But while his ideas might be ludicrous for FFXIV where alts are redundant, here, where alts are a large part of how some people play, they an be at least somewhat reasonable.
And this from one who would likely have 1 character, 2 tops (just to see the difference in genders) but has 12+ toons on WoW.

In this game literally to access all specs you need all these alts to enjoy this game fully. Playstyle wise if you want to experience all the specs you need 12 characters. And I did that. It is nice, I personally don’t like sticking to one because I enjoy the combat more in this game then I do sticking to one character. I tend to like pvp games with many different playstyles like fighting games, or hero shooters. Or stuff like pokemon where you can make unique builds.
Because a chimpanzee could do the content that you want mythic raid gear to drop from.
You know when you resort to insults you make yourself less respectable in your arguements. But it’s whatever think I am done talking for the night…

It might be time to ask if the gear has to be mythic level, or if it could be:
Any level up to current Korthia gear
Provides bonuses that would pertain to, at most, outdoor world content
Is, while not useless in current raids/dungeons, does not have the same benefits as raid and/or dungeon gear would (lower ilvl, bonuses inactve, no domination sockets, etc).
Player strength in content can come from more then just ilvl, lower gear can provide bonuses only in said content, like PvP gear is lower ilvl in PvE.
If Ilvl is the focus, maybe that is all people understand/can grasp.
I’ve tried to be reasonable with you, but you can’t be reasonable with the unreasonable. If the game would have more players if they bowed down to people like you, the game wouldn’t have had more players when solo play netted you nothing. WoW is worse off when it listened to you. It’s never going to better when casual gearing outpaces casual content. You’re not going to be happier in FF14 or any other game when you play them that way. No one picks up Madden and hopes for a great baseball experience.
Some people have reading comprehension problems, He/She/It is one of them. People might have a disability, other reasons and cant raid or do group content.
No one is asking for RAID gear from a world quest. But even if someone did get top ilvl pve gear from solo content. Just how would that effect other’s in game. The game needs casual and solo players who feel like they can progress. Its not the Twentieth Century the game needs to evolve as others have.

I’m sorry but some people are too short to ride the roller coaster. This is not the game for you if you want mythic level gear for killing a few boar.

What are you talking about? I used to gear just fine casually before. We had valor/frost badges/ conquest from random bgs - I used to gear alts in randoms without doing rated and ashran. That’s not possible now. I used to do random heroics for upgrades/ valor. They kept diminishing the returns each expansion, steadily I dropped doing pvp because all rewards are now tied to premade content. Wpvp = ruled by raiders when I was on a pvp server and my casual pvp gear was nothing since they made raiders feel better in Legion. Then they removed templates which was like the most balanced pvp I could do casually. I think I went to pvp on all my alts. Right now? What do you have to do on each alt to do pvp? You need to do rated pvp, story mode, conduits, for a good 2 expansions pvpers were expected to pve because not everyone could get the rating. The brought valor just for mythic plus players? A lot has changed in this game I used to like. The game changed dude to suit premade content. They changed this from casuals have a fair chance to… locked behind premade content.
That whole phrase and philosophy is gatekeeping bud.
I think the issue in some cases is raid lvl gear gets conflated with raid gear, or go all the way to Mythic when heroic would be enough.
In this tier raid gear has domination sockets, that won’t come from world quest gear, it does not even come from M+ gear or PvP gear. only source outside of raid is 1 slot that takes rep and has the same stats as a corresponding piece from raid. Could they at least not make the stats different to give players an option?
