Mailing stuff to alts

[Twilite]

That like the same thing as paying for 6 extra retainers which is already available on mog station.

Actually I did my math again, and SE is pretty clever haha.

1 Account: 2 Free Retainers. 3 Additional = 20 bucks.
2 Accounts: 4 Free Retainers. No addition = 28 bucks.

Just buy a second account, friend yourself and bam! You can now mail stuff to yourself.

Only if you pay my sub

has this topic ever gotten a community team response?

Considering you have to pay for your alts, it's not an unreasonable request.
For a paid service, the ability to make alts on the same server offers very little. Being able to 'friend' your alts or simply mail them would be a huge quality of life improvement.

True and not true at same time, as there is the entry sub that only $12.99 (for one month at a time only) that only allows 1 character there is the $14.99 sub that allows you have to have 8 characters which if person decides to pay 6 months at a time also only pays $12.99 so yes if you pay monthly you pay more for a standard account as opposed to entry account but you don't pay per alt like in some games like XI did.

While yes, the move to only allow you to mail people on your friend list was to prevent muling, it wasn't to force you into subscribing retainers. Subcription retainers wasn't a thing till months after 2.0 launched. It's intended to inconvenience RMT. XI muling was heavily used to launder gil as for the longest time there wasn't much of a limit on what you could mail outside of RA/EX items, nor to who as you manually wrote the name of who you were mailing. Understandably, RMT abused the hell out of that, millions of gil just circulating around like it's nobody's business. In this game they are trying to curb that with the mail system. I don't mind, really, but I never used mules in XI either. I had better things to spend $12 on than a character I'd never really use.

XI muling was heavily used to launder gil...

While that may have been their intent with 1.0/beginning of 2.0, clearly not being able to mail to alts hasn't affected the RMT gil flow negatively at all.
I literally had to B-list 5 RMT IN A ROW last night! Finally I just went /busy cause it was driving me crazy.

Not being able to mail to Alts isn't a road block for RMT, so SE should stop punishing the player base in the process & just allow it.

Clearly their "effort" to curb RMT has resulted in zero effect, and they couldn't care less. Bots in the same areas doing the same things for months now, boths in Northern Thanalan following a very route every time, they move in herds. There's nothing stopping them from opening up a second mule account, hell there's likely dozens even in FFXI. A bot account isn't going to transfer gil to an alt as when the bot is banned, they lose all the gil, if they send it to several alternative accounts it would be significantly harder to track. The reality of it is nothing but them wanting to sell more retainers, otherwise it would have been patched in as a QoL sooner or later.

You can use Fantasia to change races whenever you feel like it.

I like using them whenever i feel like it. I actually use each of my alts every day. Fantasia isn't an option for me and it's pretty expensive to do that. Not only would be sending them stuff be nice but for them to actually have access to my home in Lavender and be able to use all the features that house has to offer.
