Mail Between My Own Avatars

[dspguy]

There is a good reason why you can't mail your alts. And it isn't just money (but I'm sure that plays into it). If everyone could mail their alt characters, then suddenly everyone has 320 retainer slots instead of 40. The market would stagnate. Why bother updating prices if you have 320 slots with which to sell? But when you only have 40 (the base amount without paying extra per month), each of those slots is a little more precious. You'll be more willing to move your product rather than sit on some overpriced item for weeks.

Besides, the game is designed to only use one character. One character can play all jobs/classes. I know why people make alts, due to the soldiery caps and coil cooldowns. Seems like a lot of work for so little benefit though.

You can have all 8 chars in a free company which makes "mailing" between them extremely easy anyways so this is a terrible excuse.

There is a hard mail limit of 1mil gil per letter and a person can only have 20 items in their inbox before they have to take it out to receive more items. It's an extremely limiting system as it is. FC chest transfer is better in pretty much every way.

The trade/mail 1mil limit is really annoying.

Had to trade someone 30mil the other week, very tedious.

If you were free to mail to alts, then people would have no reason to spend an additional $2 per month per extra retainer. Simple as that.

One of these things has nothing to do with the other, which shows how little thought you put into your one-liner reply.

If my main is a crafter but my alt is not and my alt gets ore, how am I supposed to use it on my main? This is not an issue of storage space. This is an issue of item-use efficiency.
