Mailing to alts

[Chihaya]

Can only send items to people on your friend list.

You can try to get a few friends together and make a new free company with alt chars and try to use the free company chest to transfer stuff.

maybe it makes it easier for SE to track RMT Money movement that way? i'm no expert but its something that comes to mind.

Ok so I took a break from game for a while. How can we send mail to alts or vice versa? This is extremely frustrating and I am not sure if I am going to continue playing if we can't because I tried friend listing my alts but can't.

Any answers

there is but you need to make a FC with your main then get someone to invite your alt's to the FC but make sure your alt's are lv 25 & joined a GC. it's the only way I've done it

No!

Only the FC creator has to be level 25 and in a GC in order to begin the FC creation process, I have my own and two of the four original members were level 1s created by friends of mine to help me set the FC up .. and one of those had an account where the highest character was around level 10 so there's no 'account wide' issue here which could explain level 1s being able to sign the charter (or whatever it's called in this game).

Now that the worst of the RMT seems to have been tackled it would be nice if SE could revisit this and consider letting us mail things to other characters on our own account.

Almost every single method they have taken to counter RMT has been more harmful to the honest players than to them.

In honest, I will never buy another square enix product after this. Between the 1017s at launch and beta, the wall of spamming, the lack of intelligent responses to any of my tickets and now this, I am just fed up with this company.

Maybe I take another 3 month break hopefully they pull their head out of their asses.

There was a glitch you could use that involved dungeons to add an alt to your friend list, but I don't know if it still works or if it's considered an exploit (and thus bannable).

SE said it promotes RMT.

That's an ass-backwards excuse.

Lack of alt mail doesn't discourage RMT at all, they just trade gil/items back and forth through their other stolen accounts. It inconveniences the legitimate players more than it does botters and RMT.

It does not, sadly, work anymore.

I am really tired of having to send gil to a friend just so they can send it to my alt. This probably makes money even harder to track than just allowing direct account to account money transfers...

Yea supposedly - UNLIKE other subscription model mmo's which manage to MANAGE the gold selling problem very well WITHOUT inconveniencing their paying customers. Oh, I'm sorry...this disallowing players to mail items to their alts FIXES the RMT problem, oops I forot the reasoning for it. I'm all clear now.
