Kinda silly to go from making us pay for every alt to allowing us 8 per server for the sub fee then, doesn't it?

Agree 100% op
its punishing to regular players unecessarily....sadly the ff norm

RMT are smarter then any game company, err sorry but they are , and they will always be there in mass as much as se tries not to have them there or as much as we all dont want them in game.

Mail should be unrestricted to alts , in fact you shouldnt need to add to fl in the first place, to send to anyone tbh.

My own characters cant even benefit from my main? lol thats a disgusting decision.
They have done some great things in arr, they honestly have , but this mail restriction is absurd.

SE grats on 2.0 cause you deserve it!!
But please stop trying to be totalitarian over something like mailing to ones OWN characters.

That or add an account wide retainer..no silly quests to obtain, just add one, something needs to be changed.:p

This is silly. Every MMO I've ever played allowed mailing items and money and various messages to alts. It's at worst a solution looking for a problem and at best an overzealous attempt at curbing RMT that hurts far more than it helps.

If SE really wanted to punch RMT in the nads, they'd implement a subscription-token system like EVE or TERA or WildStar.

All we need is the ability to send friend requests to offline players, including our own alts. Since you must knowingly accept a friend request, I don't see the harm in this.

I would like to mail items/gil to my alts.

I have a way around this for you guys.

Make your own Free Company, and ally it to your main company.

My husband and I have our own Free Company, along with my 3 alts. Granted, we did this because we've always wanted shared housing/storage in our MMO and this was a way for us to get it. But, I've found that it's a great work-around for not being able to mail to your alts.

Whatever I don't want to keep on hand (lately it's alchemy mats) I pop into the company chest. I log out, log in to one of my alts, and grab the stuff from the chest. Voila! I'm done.

Possible drawbacks: It will take you much longer to get your Free Company to level 5 and you might lose out on some of the bonuses your current FC provides.
Also, we haven't yet allied our company to another, so we don't know exactly how that works.

But, depending on how dire your need for storage is, this might be something to look at!

Kinda necro bumping this because I still hate that I have to give my stuff to other people to give to my alt^^:

So just make it so that only items can be transferred

FFXI they screwed up the economy with RMT.
In FFXIV they try to combat RMT, but they screw the economy with game design.
Bravo.

This is one of my biggest complaints about XIV. Why am I being punished for having alts when I pay extra money each month for those alts?

i wonderwing and i never get the gist of Alt, when i have everything i need already with my 1 character... 1item per week? np why? because more content around the same ilvl WILL COME OUT. soon you willl just drop allyour alts and just play Main character very soon, i guessing patch 2.4+
