A simple QOL improvement shouldn't be made because RMT people can use it too? Who cares?

RMT already have the ability to freely move gil/items between characters. Letting you mail your alts wouldn't even impact RMT, they'd continue as they have been because it's easier for them to do it that way. It only hinders legit players who have preferences about whether they're in an FC and what kind of FC it is, and whether their alts are in FCs as well.

The amount of people leveling alts for crafting JUST to do the weekly custom deliveries would be crazy. Just think about it. 5 alts with 12 turn-ins each. If they got lucky with dual bonus they could rack in 15,000 yellow scripts a week, buy the crafting items and mail them to alts. There is a weekly cap on custom delivers for a reason.

But of course someone had to come up with a shit ton of excuses when i wrote down a possibility of how to do it.
If you are not in the same FC with your alts, ask a friend. If you don't have one that you trust enough..again wrong people buddy.
If your alt is on a completly different server you are screwed in every game.

@Skivvy nice try to troll, if you think for a second you'll come up with a solution...or read what i just wrote in this post. And now don't come even with "What if i don't have friends?" :p

Your grand suggestion was to use a FC chest to transfer goods, and tossed in a "It's not really difficult" for good measure. I responded stating I don't have a FC, which is true the last time I checked, and asked for additional options. But obviously I'm just trolling.

Hey "buddy" what if I'm a new player and I got absorbed into one of the mega FCs early on? I like some of the ppl in it that I run content with, but I've never met or interacted with over half the ppl at all. I only have access to the first page because of FC ranks, but so does every single other sprout in the FC.


The FC chest is a workaround solution to the problem, but it has many flaws (not "excuses").

... I think you're overestimating the number of people who'd go through that much trouble just to get access to more crafting items. Kinda reminds me of everyone who was super worried that the companion app was going to let people get a monopoly on the MB because they could pay to change their prices every five seconds. Not enough people want to do that for it to even make a dent in the game's economy.

I can't even be bothered to buy/sell those crafting items on my main, and I'm an omni-crafter. If I'm doing custom deliveries on my alts, it's to get them the gear.

If you are a new player you should be way to busy to play 1 character and hey if you liked these players and they like you they are probably trustworthy. So maybe ask them if they could trade you something onto your alt?
Its not that i already wrote that it could be better but whatever. You can come up with more scenarios to try to make my examples worthless, doesn't matter because what i've wrote are some options you have.

@Skivvy Where did i write you are trolling? Show it to me! Trying to put words in my mouth here hm?

Yes, please...
I have more alts than I can count. It'd be nice if they could help each other without having to bother my friends to pass items on their behalf ;_;

I suppose you'll get into the semantics of "try" implying that since they "failed to troll" from your PoV you didn't really say they were "trolling."

Just as you are not acknowledging that any of your workarounds for every scenario that involve MULTIPLE ppl are full of holes and inconveniences as opposed to a direct solution handled by ONE PERSON (which is what is being asked for).
