I think one problem with people leaving this game is that to do anything you need healers and tanks, however their are far more of a need for these then people who enjoy playing them. However many people play a tank or an healer as a mained alt, shelfing their alts for the greater good of progression.
On another note, while views on boxing characters may change, it undeniable that many people on this server play 2 or more characters. Most of who start them around the time and these characters have progessed together for their entire careers, however as you get higher in tier, boxing fights on tier become less and less plausible as fight mechanics and expectations of awareness and reaction are increased. So you end up in most cases picking the most needed of your characters and then dragging leaving the other behind, shedding a silent tier for every piece of gear you watch rot away on a corpse that your other toon could have used but you couldn't bring them because you were needed on the current.
So what im proposing is a system similar to adventure banding, where you can basically entwine 2 of your characters together, enabling them to trade no drop tagged items between each other. After a limited amount of input that ive had from friends so far, I've come to the conclusion that making this a permanent status between 2 characters would reduce the ways that it could be exploited. As a temporary system identical to adventure banding would enable things like selling higher end loots, and the purpose of this system tome is to help people who are putting the work in. not enable people to buy their way through the game. Also perhaps adding a "bro-code" type rule where you have to own both characters seems reasonable.
Pros:
- Hard work pays off in the end more often with far less rots. and we all not rot is well enough geared, screw that guy.
- A possible influx of newer tanks and healers, because now they can get in on this stuff that they were always waiting to be one of the dps rotated through on, now can do it on a tank/healer without forsaking their other class.
Con:
- People making you roll against their alt for loot.
- oh noes i play more then 2 characters!?
- some quest items/rewards might need to be exempt.
