Trading between alts

[Colino]

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.

Do you need alts? No. Does not mean that there is anything wrong with making some QoL improvements for alt characters. Some people like playing multiple characters. A big example i can think of would be rpers. Also hc crafters. Ect ect.

You're absolutely right in principle and I'd like to see it too, but the fact is

1) It would cost (probably a lot) to implement
2) It can directly impact their pockets by making it less tempting to buy additional retainers

I can't see them implementing QoL feature that will cost them AND directly impact their money making.

You're right, it would be a horrible business decision to do this and the higher-ups would be upset to see their profit margins being narrowed. Having to have a friend/spouse help trade items between your characters is annoying but if you can tolerate the annoyance then you probably won't ever buy the expanded storage options anyway. People claim that 2 retainers is all you need but they haven't been playing long enough or aren't interested in making gil and/or having a nice glam wardrobe.

What I ~DO~ see them doing however is add a new type of storage option and maybe add more slots to the glam dresser. People are legitimately frustrated with the glam dresser and I can see at least that having more slots in 5.0 and in interviews it has been said they are looking into it.
