Since we can't send mail to opposing faction, ...

I'd like to know how you arrive at a conclusive statement like that. Have you been on RP servers?

It can't be an RP thing. RP is more than just IC-fascists demanding everyone walk everywhere in non-combat zones unless they can conjure up an in-character reason to be in a hurry. RP creates more situations for communication between factions. RP players prefer less restrictions, not more. As far as RP is concerned, communication between factions should be based on whether a character would have reason and capacity to contact a member of another faction, while direct player-to-player trades on Nar Shaddaa or other neutral ground would be unrestricted.

It's an economy thing because restriction in movement of goods makes them harder to come by. Non-BoP items that can only be obtained by one faction have more value to the other. If there is a demand for an item of that nature, it creates a market for it on the Hutt Cartel Exchange and makes places like the Nar Shaddaa promenade a centre of cross-faction trade, turning those types of locations into the kinds of cross-faction hubs they were meant to be. The alternative is that players choose to use their alts to get equipment, reducing trade and player interaction and lowering the cartel exchange's potential to grow beyond its current bone-dry state.

Find youself a trusty smuggler and pay them a nominal "cargo transfer" fee to move your goods from faction to faction. IMO that's what smugglers do... or atleast that's what they should do. Smugglers should be allowed to broker deals between both sides for a price.

Or, one of the things you can unlock with Legacy will be a Legacy-Bank, a Cargo Bay accesible for all toons of your account.

All good information. Thanks. But a completely bankrupt design. You are telling me that Galatic really means Planetary, so it should be called the PTN. No wonder things don't sell like you might expect. The visibility is limited to about 100 players at any one time.

How do we send stuff to our opposing faction alts??

I get it, but it's a bit ridiculous to limit who we can send mail to.

What if they were not an alt, but a friend, who plays at different times than I do that I wanted to send some stuff or just some communication to??

Don't know why I am asking this when they make us go to a mailbox for mail in the first place. This is Star Wars! I think mail boxes are a bit a thing of the past.

Let's lose the role playing restrictions on mail. Leave that for the RP servers.

This is sounding like the Global Trade Network is not really global. Are you saying that stuff I put on the GTN at the Republic Fleet cannot be purchased by a player on the GTN at the Imperial Fleet?

We need to be able transfer stuff between toons.
Why we are not able? One can just guess that they don't want cooperation with the enemy and are not able to differ same account toons and other people.

Have you tryed trading yet ?

Yes, it works.

Oh boy, if the Legacy system comes out and it doesn't include a Legacy-Bank for all toons, regardless the side and from where you can even craft, i am going to go Wookie-Rage.
