Transferring items between alt characters

[Anders]

All these work-around solutions are nice. However, I'd really like SE to implement the most-obvious solution: enable us to send mail to our alts.

I don't want to make one super-toon. I like having a stable of different-looking toons, each with unique abilities.

Sure, I play my CNJ most of the time. And when I get her to 50 and she's maxed-out her crafting, I'll use her to shower gil and high-quality gear down on her "younger" sisters and brothers.

This adds a new dimension to playing the game - one that I enjoy a great deal.

So, come on SE! Give us the ability to send mail to our alts. We'll love you for it, man.

This needs to be addressed rather quickly. The argument that you only need one character to do everything has no meaning in a modern mmorpg. Especially since most players are probably going to be paying for the privilege of having up to 8 chars per server.

In my case, I'd like to have a specific gathering alt, who will do nothing but gather materials as Disciple of the Land. There are numerous reasons to want to do this, but it doesn't matter. I want to do it. But not being able to then mail mats or put them in an account wide retainer is literally going to KILL the possiblity of playing this game long term, and I can guarantee I'm by far not the only one. I do not want to just play one character.

Why would you guys even consider spreading out the classes when they all share skills? I'll just assume that you guys have no idea how considerably gimped you guys will be without cross classing skills, especially if you are a crafter or gatherer. Also not having essential 5 abilities from other classes will only hurt your raid members and bring down the team.

According to what statistics? No min-maxer will be making more than 1 account because of cross-class skills, and no casual is going to waste time redoing the entire main storyline quest and transfers all their work when they can switch out their gear/class with a click of a button. Are you actually claiming that RPers are the majority of the subscribers?

1 character = economic saving, ease of switching classes, and great for the lazy.

I don't get this at all, i constantly see this in FC economic saving? what is easy about leveling five plus classes then jobs with no Quests after about three classes? sorry i don't buy any of that alts are still far easier to level a few classes per alt and crafting well big deal seeing as it takes a decade to level just one.

As you can tell i'm casual but i will be leveling alts because quests dry up after about 2 classes, fates and dungeons i can only do for so long they are too repetitive.

Not really as you'd be unable (unlike with multiply classes on the same char) to use any of the already spirit bonded /used or "unique" (dungeon / chest deops in colours) items anyway on any alt so pretty much pointless even if you'll manage to send it over in a first place.
