Trading between alts

[Aramina]

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.
