Not quite pointless. First of all there is of course the potential for roleplaying more than one character, but even disregarding that there is one reason for making a couple of alts:
In each of the three starting cities (and surrounding areas) there are a number of quests than you can only get if you start in that city, so if you want to see it all you need to create at least three characters, each of which start in a different city. (The unique quests are all level 15 or lower so after all those are done you don't need to worry about missing any more.)
There are also some dialogs that are slightly different depending on your starting class/city but nothing major or important.
