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

[Mang]

Not sure exactly what benefit there is to keeping us from getting a couple alts to 20ish and unlocking their retainers and mailing mats back and forth between characters on the same account.

Not seeing how preventing this stops RMT activity, either.

Please let us mule!

I think it makes it harder to combat RMT if they can send stuff/gil back and forth.


Still if players are creative, there are workarounds to the current system

[PapesseLudovique]

There is a way... but I'm not going to say how.


Just be creative.

Wow, what an absolute waste of a post.
Do you have any idea how obnoxious that is?

People do that and wonder why "innocent" people get hit with the ban/suspension stick xD

Maybe they should just allow us to get more than 2 retainers... This way people wouldn't have to resort to mailing themselves items... Which they are probably buying on another server cheaply and selling as a profit on a different server... But hey there's no harm in it, don't restrict things like this...

Agreed. It'd work a lot better if it was just allowed, circumventing it is a bandaid solution at best and banfodder at worst.

What's to stop RMT from doing this "creative" way as well? I find no point in it to be honest. If us normal players can figure it out, you know RMT have either already been doing it, or will find out very quickly. So again, I say it's pointless.

With two retainers with 8 bag slots and the ability to store 10,000 * 3 of each shard type. I haven't come up with a reason to need an alt yet. But I don't have tons of crafters to 50 so I don't know. But why to you need to mule stuff with as much space as this game gives us?

Housing will likely solve the problem by allowing us to store stuff in furniture but it won't be out for a long time.

I have 3 tabs alone for just cooking items, 2 and growing tabs for materia, 1 tab for LTW, 2 tabs for GSM/MIN, 1 tab for potions, 1 full tab just for FSH tackle, and more.

SE, let me buy more retainers! PLEASE LET ME BUY MORE RETAINERS. q_q

Just wait until you actually craft and gather, then come back to us.

My crafters/gatherers are only in their teens/twenties, and my bags are mostly full, my two retainers are full, and I am using up 2 of my FC's 3 container tabs. I have therefore leveled an alt character to 15 for more bag/retainer space, and that is starting to fill up fast. BTW, the only ways currently to move items and crafting mats between alts is through FC storage or via trustworthy friends.

The crafting mat situation in this game is nutz.

Finally, housing won't help. Yoshi stated a week ago that housing in 2.1 will be FC only (not personal), and will contain no storage space. He further said not to expect housing storage in the future, though the door is not totally closed.
