Mailing stuff to alts

[Caelan]

has there been any word lately on allowing people to send items freely to their alt characters on the same account? it would be really nice. i know this might be hard to do what with the friend list requirement for mailing, but maybe somehow alts could be automatically friended? idk

found one mention of this by SE: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1013009

Q15: Will we ever be able to transfer item/gil between characters on the same account and World?

A15: We currently have no plans to implement this feature do to various reason such as preventing RMT from abusing the feature.

so could be money, could be RMT. wish they would talk to us again about this since it's been over two years, and obviously this restriction hasn't hindered RMT significantly

also worth mentioning: some people have their alts friended due to a bug early on in ARR, and they can mail stuff to their alts while the rest of us can't
