time limit on holding shared item

I'd like to be able to share expensive gear with friends without having to worry about them wandering off or disappearing. In a free company could we assign a time limit that a player can hold an item before it is returned to the free company chest? Also while it is checked out the item would have to be untrade-able.

This is a cool idea! I'd like this

Probably impossible, but cool idea nonetheless.

Cool idea! And hilarious if the timer expired mid-combat. :)

or how about an auto retrieve button :P *presses "give my back my shitaru!" button*
and make borrowed gear undroppable, unsellable and such

Great idea!

Boomerang me your gear!

maybe dropping it would return it to the box as well. It would have to be a magical moogle box.

Items would need a new tag, something different from unique/untradeable. Neat idea but not sure if they could make it work.

I like your idea, but I dont think it is necessary considering I would never give rare gear to someone I didn't trust absolutely.

What I would really like to see is "Bound to Company" gear tag. This would allow Companies to Bind Gear to Company Bank so people cannot Join grab and ditch like so many used to do in XI. If a person does leave with Gear Bound to the Company it would automatically be removed and returned to the company Bank.

I remember link shells would break up over this kind of thing. People would run off with an item that everyone worked to get. We use to have 1 linkshell thief knife before it was a common drop and take it with us to events and assign it to the thf. The problem is who can you REALLY trust with a 20-50million gil item?I do like the idea of sharing for the better of the group. Sharing fosters community. It also prevents favoring. multiple people can have an opportunity to tank with 'insert epic shield or armor' rather than just the link shell leader to deemed it necessary for him to get the best gear first.

This is one of the few suggestions on these forums that aren't garbage.
