Trading between alts

[Addicted]

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

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.

I never seen anyone say that about the app once.

This seems to be the most accurate.

Not sure about any one else but in all the MMOs I have played I had a ton of alt mules. Imagine here you could have a ton of alt mules each with alt mule retainers.

Wouldn't make a difference with the mail restriction of 5 items per mail. Way too time consuming for my taste.

The mail system is rather clunky here. Between the limits items you can send, and how slowly the server responds, it could definitely use some love.
