Muling: Let us mail to alts without having them on friend list

Probably it's made this way so you cannot bypass the character limit on storage and market board slots.

Honestly, who cares?

This aspect kinda boggles my mind coming from SE. In FFXI they did a lot to help you with alts. They even allowed you to mail rare/ex items to alts to save on space. Those alts could just as easily sell which bypassed the AH slot limit in that game, too.


Absolutely ridiculous they won't let you do that here.

I think a lot of crafters care. Make 8 chars on a server and have 320 slots to sell the same item? That would be bad.

....You do realize they could still do this even without mailing...right?

It wasn't an issue in ffxi. It hasn't been an issue in games where you could put unlimited amount of items on the AH. It wouldn't be an issue here. If anything it would help players be able to buy 1 of an item instead of 99 since no one likes to sell in singles because of the stupid cap in the first place. Really if people think this would be an issue, they need to take their tin foil hats off. (I am a crafter too fyi)

For whatever reasons, the dev team seems to be ignoring whatever lessons SE learned about running an MMO from FFXI. Personally having played 11 for so long I am seriously disappointed in many aspects of this game. I am sticking with this game for now hoping that SE gets their act together.

Yoshi never played XI and wanted to answers the cries and pleads of making XIV more like a standard MMORPG.

FFXIV v1.0 (pre-Yoshi-P) also was nothing like FFXI, including the basic stuff. (It had a frustrating & incomplete keyboard control layout, for example, though though that was fixed pre-Yoshi-P, too.)

Except they've chosen to include dozens of arbitrary restrictions that standard MMORPGs have either done away with a while ago or never even tried. >_< Excellent job!

I really love the framework of this game, but the numerous, tiny annoyances are really, really starting to add up. Like *cough*waiting 6 months or more to have a readable chat box*cough*.
