Trading between alts

[Kyloran]

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

Because you don’t need alts, ever? Every class can be done on one character.

Depends on what your goals are.

Alts do allow you to circumvent some daily/weekly lockouts, but this mostly relevant to crafting/gathering.
The primary activities are BST tribes and Custom Deliveries.

BST tribes mostly for the one time per expansion when they add a component of BiS crafting/gathering gear to the "crafting BST tribe." Each alt you have will increase your daily yield of the item so that you can either expedite your own gear or have plenty of extras to sell on the market board. A lot of gil can be made in the first week on these items (Storm Sap this expansion for example).

Custom Deliveries are an incredibly fast/easy way to make roughly 3k - 4k red/yellow scrips, requiring a minimal amount of crafting/gathering. Yellow crafting was relevant multiple times in SB for Gyr Abanian Alchemiks and Kingcraft Demimateria.

Lastly, having at least enough alts to cover all the specialists means no more scrip waste on Soul of the Crafters.

That is basically true, but sometimes the worlds are full so I keep a toon in 3 different worlds encase I can't get into one. Angel - Lily - Cyan

It's why i'm taking so long to level them.

The day I can play every race on a single character all at the same time this statement will be partially true. Until then it is just a jerk response that pops up everytime people speak about alts.

A character is more than a class.

Storage space? If you try having a few crafts and gathering professions, you'll be perpetually out of storage space.
Personally, I'd have gathering profs and DPS on one character (So I can kill troublesome mobs faster), and my crafters on one or more alts.
When I tried fishing early on, I nearly filled my bag space with just baits and different fish.

Edit: I'd like to see each gathering and crafting job to come with a new bag that's automatically included in your standard bag list when you switch to that job, but is restricted only to items used in / produced by that job. Crafting items would be used from the crafting bag, or the regular one, with no need to move them first.
You could still access it from other jobs like the chocobo saddlebag, to remove or add compatible items.

I have two characters, one on an NA server, and one (formerly) on an EU server to play with my friends who were there. So "never" definitely isn't accurate.

Of course, those friends either quit playing or transferred to different servers during the server split, so I moved my alt to NA side aaand...

Well. Being able to trade things to my alt certainly would've made it easy to consolidate all of my housing items on one character, now that I don't plan to use said alt anymore. :/
