    Honestly OP...your highest level is 33. You don't HAVE a lot of stuff worth transferring over. Pick a friend and have them help you, they aren't going to steal junk.

    With that said though, I would agree that it is always a terrible system to not allow you to trade stuff between your own characters in some manner.

    You could always mail whatever you need to a friend in-game, and have them mail it to your alt. Simple enough.

    OP. The easiest way to do this is either...

    1. have a friend do it for you
    2. (assuming your both in the same FC) put the items your transferring in your company chest. Honestly in the 2 minutes it will take you theres about a 2% chance anyone is even going to open the FC chest and a even smaller chance of them stealing from their own FC. If your transferring gil.. yes you will likely need a friend since I doubt your FC lets you withdraw.

    add a 3rd retainer that only allows for shared storage on your own account for all your characters...that will solve a lot of problem

    This, the only other way would be to have both characters in the same FC and have access to the chest to place and withdraw items.

    A while back I was able to join a dungeon on one character and alt f4 and log in on my main and friendslist my alt because he was still logged in. Not sure if you still can though, they might have patched it. But I can still mail my alt even if they fixed it.

    Funny how theyre so anal about RMT and stopping them, yet this is possibly the worst game I have ever played as far as RMT spam goes. It is completely ignorant on their part to just block players from doing this because of RMT. I dont even know how this can be abused! Hack an account, make a new character, then send all the gold to the new character? So? Still same account!

    (personal thoughts)
    AHHHH the dread RMT bogeyman. The reason for some many things in this game.
    1. Can not mail things/gil between toons on the same account....evil RMT (Mind you Wow, Eve, swtor, swg, ao, eq all if I remember rightly have allowed this feature. if you think FF has RMT issues go look at the number of websites openly selling WoW gold AND items!)
    2. Can not have crafters (except cooks) have a meaningful use for "end game" ... evil RMT (well and we can not "devalue" dungeons)
    3. Housing Costs .... evil RMT (and for some reason the devs felt is was okay for one FC to have multiple Houses/halls).
    4. new mounts cost 100k plus....evil RMT (and another gill sink that needs to be higher then what you make on the dailies due to the RMT...gasp)

    (possible solution)You know what if SE would just track the your wealth delta and see that player A went from 100k gil to 1.5 mil gil in a week with no market board activity. Then SE freezes that account, they could have the player explain the sudden good fortune. You do that and Publically announce it and the people buying gill would decline, the decline would in turn make the RMT viability of the game decrease to the point where your RMT companies would move back to more fertile fields. The reality is that all this clamping down on things and or inflating the gil sinks in the game ONLY ENCOURAGES the RMT market.

    This method was patched, though not retroactively. Didn't have to close the game. Merely logging out in the instance was fine.

    The only thing worth transferring if your highest level is in the 30s would be money. If you have ever worn your equipment in combat, it's bound to your character and can't be given to others.

    On Sarga, I will get spam even before I exit my inn-room. On Aegis, I'll see one line of spam per fortnight. Perhaps the RMT don't understand japanese.

    Nevermind, 'mailing to alts'. Shared bank account! I second this.

    Or... have your alt (and main), as a retainer. Your character, your alternate... your retainer. I'd be happy to give up the current 2 retainer per character to have this.

    Remember how you could 'dress-up' your retainers in 1.X? Having your character becoming a retainer isn't new. Anyone remember the impromptu 'market place' right outside Jeuno... players would put themselves in Bazaar mode and go AFK (climate change be darned!).

    Some tweaking will need to be done (Uniques will no longer be storable on retainers) but I'm sure the smart people at SE can figure it out. 1.x to ARR... this should be cake.
