Can't give and my alt character access to my private house

[Kalinas]

Due to housing tenants being friends only...we can't share our homes with our alts on the same server (since you can't friend them). Is there anyway to fix this to an alt access?

[Ayerinn]

Nope, SE hates alts - can't mail them and can't share a house with them.

[SendohJin]

they don't want you to, so they won't fix it.

I know a few people that were able to add their alts to their friendlist (yes on same account) due to a bug that existed back near the start of ARR. The bug that allowed this was patched so it's no longer possible to take advantage of it.

I think the fact that some people are able to have their alts on their friendslist and some are not is a little unfair and should either be patched so these players alts are removed from friendlists or make it so everyone can do this.

Of course the players that can do this are never going to report themselves as taking advantage of an exploit because they have a huge convenience that is normally impossible and don't want to lose it.

I just think it should be known that inequality exists and something should be done about it.

Agreed, SE needs to let you share your house with your same-account alt characters.

I can't see why SE haven't thought of this. It would actually alleviate the issue of players buying up housing plots on alts if we were limited to one house per server per account, and all alts on the same server could be easily (if not automatically) listed as tenants in that house. That would have freed up a handful more plots anyway...

SE wants you make your alt on another account...^^;

SE cares very little about this or any other shortcoming related to housing or alt QoL. That much is fairly obvious.

Hey SE! Get this to work or I will buy my alt an own house as soon the new area somewhere around Ishgard opens.

Agreed completely unfair that you can't share with your alts. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to.
