New wipe, new alts.

Are you saying you paid 13,000 caps for 10 hides? Hell, I'd sell them for 1000 caps.

I don't think anyone is complaining about having more than one character to experience different gameplay. Pre-wipe, I had two characters, one a small gun generic crafter and one a melee combat ape character. They 'lived' at opposite ends of the map and never met or interacted with one another in the slightest. The game was quite different with one or the other, so occasionally I'd pick one or the other depending on mood. I don't think anyone would have an issue with that.
I think the complaint is more when someone has a 'best possible stats for peow-peow-click-click-click shooter ape', then cries because their character doesn't get much money for selling their loot, so creates a 300% barter character whose only purpose is to sell things and return the money to their ape. Then they cry because neither of their characters can craft armour, so they build a specific crafting character whose only purpose is to supply armour to their ape. Then they cry because they can't have 10 different tents at all positions on the map, so creates another 10 characters to exist only momentarily to create extra tents for their ape, and so on and so on until there are enough 'support alts' to avoid any challenge or "tough decision making" in the stats/RPG elements of the gameplay, effectively creating a multi-login equivalent of having 10 for every special and 300% in all the stats instead of communicating with other players. Of course this means that anyone else wishing to 'compete' in PVP combat has to do the same.
I suppose it's a little like crying over a game of chess because your opponent won't allow you to move all of your pieces like a combination between a Queen and a Knight.

well every alt is another character to level, thus making you play the game longer. I.e. alts make the game last longer. I like being self-sufficient so pre-wipe I had a SMG crafter (semi-pve fighter), SMG PvP, Armor crafter, BG crafter, BG PvP & just for the hell of it I made a barter alt. Barter alt wasn't really needed and I figured that out pretty quick, but I leveled her up to 21 anyway just for something to do.
