Trading between alts

[Aramina]

Will we ever see a easy way to do this? Why is it not already in game? Game just seems alt unfriendly.

Not really alt unfriendly, but alt unnecessary. You can use FC chests to exchange between characters, assuming of course both/all are in the same FC. Outside that, the ability to send mail between alts has been often requested, and has (so far) always been denied because of the belief that this would somehow increase RMT. I am not sure how this is a thing.... but.... that's what we have been told.

I see that, but what's the point of even offering the option then? I would rather do quests then grind to level your other jobs.

Because forbidding doing something is quite different than not encouraging it.

I have 9 endgame alts guess I had better delete 8 of them.

And yes I think it's time they allowed friending our alts. I know there was talk of allowing alts to share housing at one point and that they were working on it but that was some time ago.

Because if they did allow such a thing, demand for paid retainers would plummet.

Came here to say this.

There used to be a way to befriend alts, but the old method got fixed. Not sure if there is a new one floating around. Would be nice though D:

I don't know about that. My main is friends with 4 of my alts, yet I still pay in order to have 10 retainers.

I agree with this. It would be nice to be able to directly pass gear I have crafted for my alts to my alts, but it definitely wouldn't make me be ok with having to pass stuff back and forth 5 items at a time on a continual basis.

The amount of people leveling alts for crafting JUST to do the weekly custom deliveries would be crazy. Just think about it. 5 alts with 12 turn-ins each. If they got lucky with dual bonus they could rack in 15,000 yellow scripts a week, buy the crafting items and mail them to alts. There is a weekly cap on custom delivers for a reason.

... I think you're overestimating the number of people who'd go through that much trouble just to get access to more crafting items. Kinda reminds me of everyone who was super worried that the companion app was going to let people get a monopoly on the MB because they could pay to change their prices every five seconds. Not enough people want to do that for it to even make a dent in the game's economy.

I can't even be bothered to buy/sell those crafting items on my main, and I'm an omni-crafter. If I'm doing custom deliveries on my alts, it's to get them the gear.
