Guild Wars 2

Sale coming up this weekend again. What are pros/cons of having more than one account? I can think of some, but must be others.

Pros:

Each can have a guild/storage
Do dailies/get daily rewards twice (as desired)
Mail stuff back and forth
Holiday/birthday goodies
Cheap character slots for storage/hoarding

Cons:

Another account to upgrade come HoT (or leave as “vanilla”?)
Time spent on “alt account” doesn’t add to “main’s” accomplishment, AP, etc.
Lots of account/soul bound items that you can’t filter into main account

The emphasis on account bound items really limits the storage but there is one big plus to getting a cheap alt account. The laurels. You can get 55 per month. That, converted to T6 mats is a lot and converted to gold can pay for the account itself over time.

Other than that. Personal guild security. If you have your alt guild as guild leader also and accidentally leave the guild or if you are hacked and the hacker drops the guild, your alt account can reinvite you. More guilds is a plus if you are a big trader and need lots of storage. Ability to play incognito is something to consider for those who want to sometimes play quietly without hurting friend’s feelings. The ability to mail back and forth is occasionally useful. 165 extra T6 mats every 28 days is also a consideration for those making a Legendary.
