mailing alts

[Alisi]

Why is this still not a thing? We're in the "third" expac and we still can't mail stuff to alts? There are ways around this and they haven't destroyed the game. I promise there won't be any rivers of lava running through big city streets, cats and dogs getting along, people stealing candy from babies and refusing to help old women cross the road if you give us the ability to send mail to our alts. I'm not asking cross severs either. Just alts on the same server.

[Lukha]

Either this or a small number of inventory slots shared between characters on a server would be an absolutely wonderful QoL fix. It's not like you can't already move items between characters via a friend or the FC, so why not just give up and make things easier for us, SE?

Seconding this with the great force of my army of alts.

[Final-Fantasy]

This would be a great new feature, and you could also let us share our houses with our alts too.

[Fredco191]

They’re probably worried that people will abuse it for money gil or something.

[Solarra]

Yes! Much needed QoL improvement.
And yes to sharing houses, too.

[Krotoan]

I vote yes, I'm tired of making my FC keep half a tab open to transfer stuff. sure it works.. but they have better uses for that storage.

You're probably not wrong, but as said before, it's not like people don't already do this. The FC I'm in is made from mostly alts, and we pass things around either by asking each other for help or by using the FC chest when there's room in it. And that's before we get to people who have more than the one service account who can already mail things to their own charas because the game doesn't recognize them as belonging to the same person.
It's not that we can't do the things they're worried about already, so why not make it easier? Especially when alts keep people playing when they would've otherwise unsubbed.

"Anti RMT" i believe was the argument for removing the feature back in 2.0

[GetFoesReqd]

I don't understand how preventing mailing things to your own alts would even affect RMT. I'd love to hear their argument behind that. In any case, I support removing this restriction 100%. I have a handful of alts on Gilgamesh and this would make things a lot more pleasant. Let us mail to our alts! ^_^
