Feeling punished for having alts...

[goob]

How does any of that help RMT that use multiple accounts, not multiple characters on one account?

Then they wouldn't have to use as many multiple accounts, which would mean less money given to SE assuming they pay for accounts legitimately. If they have X gil on server A, and y gil on server B, but they need more gil on B, they could easily move it from A to B by creating an alt and sending it mail. No need to go through another account registration. Sure they'd still have multiple accounts just in the off chance that some of them were banned, but it would make passing money and items between servers a lot easier if it was all shared.

My first thought when I saw the first post about no shared bank for alts was that RMT would probably love to have such a thing.

I guess that would depend on if mail were made account wide, datacenter wide or kept the same. I would assume if mail were enabled for alts, it would still be under the mail system's current restrictions of being on the same world which wouldn't do RMT any good.

But it is a viable solution. There is very few reasons to actually have alt characters in this game when you can literally do every single job on one character.

Be honest. The reason people want to be able to mail stuff to alts is to not have to buy extra retainers. Retainer fees do suck ( as someone who is a glam hoarder and full crafter)

That... literally has nothing to do with it whatsoever? I have a full team of retainers on my main as is, and I want to send stuff to Sonja because K'rina is further along in levels and crafting and I happen to like making life easier when it comes to catching her up on things. I'm baffled how you even came to this conclusion?

Honestly didnt really think things out when I made that post. But ya mail would reduce account and character swapping as you could dump your load on alts that are on the same account then swap only as needed.

At least it doesn't matter if some of you don't understand why other people like playing alts. Just accept it. And the game is not very alt-friendly. Point. A lot of players are using tricks to share things. But not everyone has such possibilitys. That's a little bit unfair, don't you think so?

My main is at the moment a male Elezen. I burned lots of money in fantasia over time with my main... xD
And I really like my character! But I also really wanna play a Lalafell. So at least I created a Lalafell alt. And I like my alt very much, too. Totally different game feeling, when playing a Lala. Really! ^^
Normally I play both chars. So should I burn 1-10 Fantasia a day, to not use an alt? xD

And honestly it sucks, how the situation is at the moment. I have a house with my main, but can't use it while playing with alt. And it's not nice that there is no possibility of communicating between chars on the same server.

That's just my point of view as a user, with 1 alt. I know SE has to care about a lot of issues in these matters.
But as a user it just sucks.

For example it also sucks, to make seasonal event's multiple times. My alt is not so old. But honestly I wouldn't have had the nerve to grind 2 Regalias. xD

Storage is a main problem in this game. Just my feeling. I gave up to collect a lot of items. I just store the really special ones and sell the rest. So I don't need more than 2 retainers. The retainer system is not so nice from scratch, in my eyes.

If people store everything with 20 retainers..., their problem. Yes, 'problem'. My maximum was 5 retainers and the hell was this laborious. xD

In the end, people always find their tricky ways. And crimimals spam the game with RMT either way. They're is not a single gaming day I have not to report multiple RMT ads.

I really hope that SE can focus a little bit more on their players wishes and not that much on criminals.

I hope for sharable houses (with same server alt) and maybe a way of communication between chars on the same server. It would be really premium if seasonal events just have to be done with 1 char pro server.
And to the people who said, that they wouldn't want the last point: Okay, then throw the items away. xD You don't have to use them.

And I personally would have one more wish, that I guess, would be really much work. Oh please SE, fix Elezen's bodyproportions. xD
I hope for that sooo much. Especially their necks look really weird while animations, emotes and so on. I gave this race a chance. And I like Elezen. But I also understand why other players blame me giraffe. :'D

(The blaming is not okay, but the necks are really..., 'critical'.)

Wish a nice day to all of you! Stay healthy <3
And sorry. I am afraid my English isn't the best. :'D

Btw it's a cool game. Wanna say something positive in the end. ^^
And I have a cool suggestion: Think about Wing-Mounts. I saw this in other MMOs. Really nice. ^^

Well its not that u need alt in this game in the first place, the idea of this game is centered around having one char that can be and do everything ingame and represents you. Except for maybe playing with friends on other servers the is no real reason to have an alt and even than a server transfer would be the better choice if you plan playing with them for a long time. If you want an alt because of more space or a second, third or whatever housing thats just beeing greedy and no excuse.

If you want to skip story or level up faster, there is stuff in the mog store that can help you with that.

To play across multiple armor classes at one's maximum potential during progression, you do need an alt, since gear lockouts and weekly currencies are essentially account-based, rather than per-roll, unless you have a separate character for each of those roles.

Granted, there are incredibly few people who would ever want, let alone need, to optimize across multiple armor classes during progression.

Well that maybe a reason but usually you focus on 1 class as main when you are a progress raider that plays with a fixed group or does savage and so on. And as you said i doubt there are that many players that focus on more than 1 or 2 classes for the hard raid content. If you want a shortcut its like already mentioned, you can pay to save time. Nothing is for free, if you want something you have to work towards in, one way or another.

Most alts are going to be either for RP reasons or for people to play end game content with multiple sets of friends. Since we can't help them without costing them loot. That entire mechanic essentially does push you to make an alt but punishes you for doing it at the same time. At the very least we should be able to mail our alts and add them to our houses.

[Missbone]

Yea sutch basic features like sharing the same bank and house with them and sending them messages like it is common in other games should be possible right from the start, I cant understand how this is still not ingame. Also i think everyone should only be allowed to have just 1 house on each server but the way things are now i can understand why some ppl dont want that. I guess it would be much less an issue if all your chars on a server could share the same property.
