To add to this, I don't understand why the friends list and linkshells are character bound rather than account bound. The way it is now, the characters are required to be online when added to your friends list. As such, you can't transfer gold or items between your characters on the same server because you can't add yourself to your own friends list. I understand that the supposed intention is to have one character do everything, but what if I prefer to have different races for different main jobs for aesthetic reasons?

In short:

- Linkshells and the friends list should be shared across the same account.

- They should implement a way to transfer goods between characters on the same server.
