Your MAIN's STORAGE not the mule's mule can get their own balls why give one account more than 10?

100 million gil is the point?
Strongly disagree. I think the intent for this system is to permit more storage options, not skip out on work and gear your mules anytime you feel the need to escape drama or whatnot. I've heard the "I just want to try a new race" excuse so many times it's getting old. Now, you may or may not be one of those people up to no good, but if there's one thing I know, it's people, and they don't like starting over. There's a reason we don't have race changes or name changes. It's called having an identity. It keeps most people that would be up to no good if they had total anonymity in check. Rep matters. And in a world where you can send end game gear to a mule, solo missions, get 90 in a few days, and really get everything you would want back completion wise with relative ease on a new character, it's more important than ever to NOT let people have their cake and eat it, too.
My space issues have been relieved BIG time with this change. That is enough.
Actually yes, I did want to start a new race. I was tired of being called a girl because of playing a female character so I made a male taru. -smiles-
Considering that Limbus and Dynamis aren't as strong as they use to be I don't see the point in causing drama in those zones only to change characters to avoid it.
The way I see it is that I did Dynamis for three years and I did limbus for about half a year with a small group of friends. I already put forth the hours and effort to collect the gear. In fact I even have the gear. It wasn't enjoyable getting the first time and I don't want to get it a second time.
The gear isn't the best anymore, Artifact through Relic +1. I'd just like to have access to it because I already obtained it. It'd be nice gear to wear until I finished Empyrean +1 and +2.
I do agree that we have a lot of storage options now and that's good.
More money on mule characters, one of the best ideas ever for a storage problem on a game that oozes situational gear.
In reality I would of been fine with $1-3 a month for a proper full on unlimited storage system, we are doing it anyway paying for the mules and at least it would of had all the bells and whistles of a fully implemented storage facility/bank.
1st off, you are right, while relic and such is no longer the best gear you can have it-along with sky/salvage/WoTG/MKT/ACP/ASA/a couple other odd-ball pieces-are all serviceable until you can get into your AF3+ gear, or other gear of that type. But you miss SE's point...
Abyssea to be in endgame in less than a week starting with a level 1 no subjob character is simply a hook to get new people in/bring old people with deleted chars back. Once you HAVE them back however SE needs to bring the time sink to keep those monthly fees rolling in. Considering the time it takes to acquire some of the above effective gear (and most of the level-comparable crafted stuff is just crap-if you can even find someone crafting it) so you have something to wear to get your AF3+ is one of their better time sinks. However, SE shot themselves in the foot there, too. 1 good Aby session (anything after your 1st 30 minute one) is usually enough to get a full Perle set, etc., which is generally enough to get you through to your AF3+, so only a few completionists really feel the need for any of the above.
Regardless, there is no incentive to being able to send this kind of gear to another character to equip without satisfying the time sink on SE's part.
The problem with the sending marbles idea is that you'd be able to cycle marbles in your delivery box.
It is so easy to change your name in this game, that someone has to be pretty stupid to make a new character to hide who they are.
It's really not that serious to be able to mule over crap.
I wouldn't mind them adding extra stuff like the augmented sky stuff. My mule is my crafter to save on space. I could mule over my haidate n' stuff to have her synergy it, but then I wouldn't be able to send it back, which seemed a little weird to me. :/ (thank god I researched it before trying it lol!).
As to AF +1 though I believe the porter moogle takes them right? So that wouldn't make it necessary to mule.
