mailing alts

[Ferth]

XI let you mail things to your alts freely You could even mail things to yourself which came in handy often.

For XIV, they really need to update the current system so that any alt on your account is automatically treated as a friend with housing privileges.

Not sure when they added the functionality, but in FFXI you can even mail nearly all RA/EX items to alts on the same server as well. As far as I know the only exceptions are AF2 from dynamis and the rewards from main story missions (like raja's ring.)

Is there any source as to them saying RMT is the reason why they won't unlock the mail system / make alts more user-friendly? I've always chalked it up to SE implementing things in the most ass-backwards way they could imagine.

This would be a massive QOL update for this game. Perhaps find a way to track accounts that send more than X amount of mail daily and investigate further? I'm sure they could find a way to make it work .

I'm too lazy to look it up but I believe it was one of the questions in a live letter near when 2.0 came out.

Oh yeah, I absolutely LOVED that little surprise when I went back to the game! That could go a long way for XIV as well, although with the game being in its prime, I can see them not wanting to unlock that option yet (sadly).
