It seems to me you're basing your anti-MCS stance on the behavior of
extremists. Do you truly believe that a large percentage of the
population has the time, interest, finances, etc. to build and
manage multiple characters? I find that the temporal cost alone will
serve to restrict such "parallel-leveling" to only the most
dedicated.
