Trade between ALT characters?
TRADE BETWEEN ALT CHARACTERS?
Can we finally trade items and gil between our alt characters? I feel like this would be a great QoL for players that have multiple characters especially now that we're in 5.0 heading onwards.
The reasons why I propose this idea:
1. It's safer to trade items yourself. As much as we like to think we live in a perfect world, we can't always trust others even within our own FC's, and attempting to sell your items on the marketboard just to "buy" it via your alts is extremely risky.
2. It's much more convenient and efficient. You don't have to rely on others to trade goods between your own alt characters. Trade on your own time, not theirs.
3. The idea is to allow our main characters to "grandfather" our alts.
All that being said, the following criteria must apply to avoid abuse:
Trade only between characters within the same account, datacenter, and world
E.g., A player that has four characters: A and B in Cactuar, C and D in Exodus. Characters A and B can trade with each other, just like how C and D can trade with each other as well. However, A and B cannot trade with C and D, and vice-versa.
Trade only items that are marked as tradable/sellable
To impose reasonable limits as to what can be traded.
The way I envision this feature to look like is a trade bank of sorts. It could either be accessed via the menu like the Chocobo Saddlebag, or a furnishing like the Free Company Chest, or even an NPC like the retainers, just to give some ideas.
