My pulse went higher than at Huttball, i had to make mega-sure that nobody else is hanging around that kiosk and more screaming like CS-kid at the slow filling loading-bar, when loading the other toon.

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.
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.
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.

Legacy bank - makes sense to me. Hit a certain legacy level and gain access

A couple people keep saying this, however, so far no workable explanation exists to support the economy argument. Same faction characters can freely exchange stuff via mail. Restricting to same faction doesn't do anything to improve or contain the economy. If anything, it makes it worse.

It doesn't matter what the "reason" for this restriction is, it should simply be removed. There are apparently ways to circumvent the restriction, which are just annoying to the player base. So putting the restriction on the mail is sort of like requiring corpse runs.

Its not planetary. Nar Shadda is a neutral auction house. viewed by imperial and republic.

If I sell something on the GTN on the Imperial Fleet, anyone can view it at ANY GTN terminal on any imperial GTN, on any planet.

Actually a cross faction AH would be good. Republic players sort of suffer because they don't have as many people posting materials and gear. Cross faction could actually help the server economy and the republic players who needs some more reasons not to rerolll empire.

Or you could always put a slightly less attractive price on it that 1 credit, and just deal with the mild transaction fee. It isn't like you are giving your money away to another player, just another character that can send it right back with another item.

Yes, and it is purely coincidence that the interfactional trading nexus is located on the "Smuggler's Moon". Everyone knows Bioware hates RP, and loves economics.

Yes, just coincidence, cause it can't be an RP thing. Just ask. They will tell you that it is economics.

You cant trade mail between factions on any other mmo out.

Yet somehow people are entitled to it here.

Go figure.
