Mailing to alts

[Ryios]

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.

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.

(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.

BTW, regarding RMTs... do a player search occasionally... look for players with no FCs, somewhat odd names, all of the same job (and no other) and level, sitting in the Inns. Even on Aegis, dozens of them, level 30 CONs, all at the Roost, at the same time. Since they can't be mailing to alts, perhaps this is how they do 'it'.

They should make it so you can't see or send tells before level 5 at least. :/ But then they might resort to sending random linkshell invites or worse.

RMT are use single character on "throw away" account for move gil and do spam to town. They are have no need for mail to other character on account.

There used for be way to friend list attach alternate player character, but SE made for do nerf for stop player from mail to self.
