DEV REQUEST: Shared Retainer

[MaeIsMean]

This is the only game I know of that makes it so difficult to trade items between your alts, all in the name of "Anti-RMT". I fail to see how RMT is prevented from doing anything by not allowing anyone to mail their alts. It's easy to move gil with or without the use of an FC. They are preventing nothing.

The open tab on my FC chest indeed says it's stopping nothing. Shared retainers does not sound as nice as being able to friend your alt, therefore opening all kinds of swapping opportunities. That would of course take money out of SE's pocket with the limitation of two free retainers though. Lord knows that my third retainer, originally purchased temporarily as a crystal shard farmer quickly turned into a hoarder. They like that extra income. Who wouldn't?

Yeah... Tos has pretty terrible restrictions, but it is also a free to play game so the barrier for entry for new rmt accounts is incredibly low.

Also, just because another game has it worse doesn't mean it's still not a terrible plan of dealing with rmt... especially since it really does nothing whatsoever to inconvenience them.
