Feeling punished for having alts...

Shared housing,mail etc. Help RMT as well and making dealing with them tougher, as it stands SE has a hard enough time dealiing with them but lets make it worse. Then listen to the community complain about it when they request features that helped make it worse knowing SE had trouble dealing with it from the start. Story and leveling boosts as it stands add to the problem but that dont matter lets up the issue further. Better idea how about SE make more effort to fight RMT before they start adding shared anything..

How does any of that help RMT that use multiple accounts, not multiple characters on one account?

Then they wouldn't have to use as many multiple accounts, which would mean less money given to SE assuming they pay for accounts legitimately. If they have X gil on server A, and y gil on server B, but they need more gil on B, they could easily move it from A to B by creating an alt and sending it mail. No need to go through another account registration. Sure they'd still have multiple accounts just in the off chance that some of them were banned, but it would make passing money and items between servers a lot easier if it was all shared.

My first thought when I saw the first post about no shared bank for alts was that RMT would probably love to have such a thing.

I guess that would depend on if mail were made account wide, datacenter wide or kept the same. I would assume if mail were enabled for alts, it would still be under the mail system's current restrictions of being on the same world which wouldn't do RMT any good.

Honestly didnt really think things out when I made that post. But ya mail would reduce account and character swapping as you could dump your load on alts that are on the same account then swap only as needed.

SE not having a hard time and the STF that handles it are doing an excellent job in keeping this game fair.

But it is a viable solution. There is very few reasons to actually have alt characters in this game when you can literally do every single job on one character.

Be honest. The reason people want to be able to mail stuff to alts is to not have to buy extra retainers. Retainer fees do suck ( as someone who is a glam hoarder and full crafter)

Actually the only time I've wanted to be able to trade between my alts was so I could give my one character all the furniture from my two houses without needing to go through six hoops of nonsense in between. (Since I realize that might seem odd, it was because I was transferring one character off server and abandoning the second house :P)

And whether few or not, there are reasons to have alts, and for the people who want to have them for whatever reason they do? "Just don't" is not a viable solution.

I've been an altoholic in every MMO I've ever played, but it's so actively unfun and inconvenient in this game that I stopped paying the extra money and throw the $2 at an extra retainer instead. Way better value tbqh.

It's not a viable solution when it dismisses and contradicts the problem rather than it helps.
Yes, we are more than aware that there's not much incentives to play alts, and how everything can be done on one character but people just want the game to be more alt-friendly, and saying "just don't use alts" not only doesn't contribute to anything helpful, but makes you look like an arse.

Let us do cross world FC trade chests for our alts in every world, that will be ideal for me.
