Alts are a great aspect of this game. But they are only used for farming resources. And here is the problem this is a pvp game where the end goal is to do pvp. This problem could be solved with a simple rule change. Allow 3rd party programs for controlling alts!
Possible applications:
-Not enough people for halcyona/arenas/mistmerrow/etc...? Not anymore join the battle with your own army!
-Gear gap? Not if the fight is 30 on 1.
-New players will be able to lvl-up faster, because the completion of quests is faster when you are in a raid of 30.
ALTS ARE NOT A PROBLEM THEY ARE A SOLUTION!
