Daily Quest Limit to Scale on Character Slots
I've been here for less than 2 months and there are things I'm starting to notice, things I would like to share my opinion about so here it is.
This game has been fun for me so far and that is coming from someone who has done nothing but PvE for reasons such as being new player, no PvP gear just yet and no proper guild to learn from. I could imagine people who can do both PvE and PvP can have more fun than what I am already experiencing playing this game.
One thing I've realized is for you to progress / farm faster in this game, you have to make so many characters or even worse accounts. I understand that limits are placed to avoid players from abusing them or bots from ruining the game but hear me out.
Not everyone wants to play every single class due to several reasons such as not liking how it looks, how it plays, latency issues, how good/bad it does on PvP/Pve, etc, right? We have 12 different classes and a max of 16 character slots per account so even if you play literally all the classes of this game despite not liking some of them, you'll still have that 4 slots left if you have max slots. This says that if you want to make the most out of your character slots, you're gonna be making / playing more than one of same class which to me is kind of pointless. Yes, there could be players who want to play the same class but of different race to count but still, I think that the current system of Daily Quests Limit is a little off. Not to mention that 3 out of 12 classes are gender and race locked.
I understand that it would be bad for the game if players don't purchase character slots because that would be a loss for the end of the people who are running this game. Now, I've realized this and thought maybe it's worth sharing so here is the suggestion itself.
Can we have the Daily Quest Limit scale to the number of character slots you have and not to the number of created characters?
Currently, we can do 8 daily quests per character but there are players who wouldn't really like to create the same class and even worse the same gender and race of that class due to to the fact that they are locked to that specific gender and race. To some people this might sound like an excuse, yes it could, it could be not but let me explain a little more. Daily quest by itself is repetitive by nature. In this game currently, if you want to farm and progress faster you would have to make as much character as you can and can stand to bare.
For someone like me who never likes playing support / healing classes in any MMORPG that I play, I am already taking off 2 out of 12 classes we have as an option for an alternative character for the sole purpose of farming. Another thing, due to my ping being high (220ms - 250ms), it would be unpractical for me to play classes that highly depends on having low ping to do well even for PvE. From what I've read so far these classes being warrior, lancer, archer and berserker. So that's another 4 out of the 10 options left for me. Out of the 6 classes left, we are going to subtract a few more, that being reaper because I don't really like playing as Elin. I'm not the type to play magic, caster, ranger classes either so no to sorcerer and gunner as well. Now I have 3 left which is ninja, brawler and slayer. I already have ninja and brawler and I am planning to create slayer soon so I'll have 3 characters to play even tho slayer doesn't seem like a class that will do well in IoD dailies, I would still make one as it is ping friendly and I like how it looks and plays.
Despite narrowing down the options available for me, I am still urged to play either classes that I don't particularly like or make character of the same class/gender/race for the sole purpose of farming. I'm up for leveling a new character of different class, race and gender but if they don't do well in certain aspects of the game specially the aspects you are more focused on then it makes it not as worth it because you're putting yourself at a disadvantage and in my case where I already have a huge disadvantage due to my ping, it is a bad idea. Also, if it's going to be exactly the same race and gender then thats even less reason to do it.
To put it simply, I want to maximize what Elite Status offer thru daily quests for a better and faster character progression and currently, you can only do it if you have 16 level 65 characters in 1 account but like what I have explained earlier this is not for everyone. I just want to get the most out of my Elite Status without having to make a character of the same class, gender and race. There are other things I would like to do such as getting achievements and I want to focus on my characters that I actually have fun playing with but at the same time I don't want to lose an existing opportunity for a faster and better character progression that I know is just there.
So, tl;dr : Can we please have the number of daily quest limit scale to how much character slots an account have? To give an example, if I have 3 characters I'll be able to do 24 daily quest as it is but with my suggestion, if I have 5 character slots on my account, I should be able to do 40 daily quest.
I mean, I don't think the game would be losing much on this one as players will still have to purchase character slots but in return you are giving players the chance to focus on their characters or what most people call "main" without casting aside an existing opportunity or benefit for character progression by not making multiple alts which generally is something that most players is not fond of, in my opinion that is.

That or at least an option that will allow a player to bargain with different characters from the same account. Like, an option which allows you to select all of your characters on that same account to do the bargaining for that one listed item regardless which character put it on the broker as long as it is from the same account.
