Donate Gold to an Alt

Pretty simple. Give an option to 'donate' some of your main's gold to an alt character BUT dont give the option to transfer back.

Basically this would just makes alts easier to start up and enjoy as the gold grind for a new char is pretty annoying. This would also help with STF characters for events and such since at the minute, if you wanted a Cav STF to use in a jousting tournament for instance, you would have to grind for a while to get the gold together for just decent equipment.

Yes/No?

Yes, for it would help take money put of the cRPG "economy" and help containe market prices. Currently, gold stacks up much faster then it is lost, and this would help fix that.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

What does it actually matter if the guy "ruins your fun" on main or alt char?

They can also do that on mains if they want. Either way they will lose the gold to repairs eventually. Most people would use this function to create fun alts more quickly. I currently have a number of alts which I cant be bothered to play since running around in peasant gear gets boring pretty quickly.

wtf is this fear of the rich? stomp their scrub asses like the rest that black armor wont save them FROM THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i always wear light armor and if i had the ability to send money to my alts i would

simply becasue i use alts to test builds and the less time i waste an a alt the more xp/gold i can make on my main

so if sending him 50-100k will do that i will do it

(on further thought i geuss im one of the rich now  :?)

OH YEAH, if this were to be implemented into the game, just think of LLJK.. they will all make arbalest sniper alts and play together on battle/siege at the same time, volleying on peasants. or perhaps they will all create a huscarl shield alts or maybe heavy cav alts, think about it. 6-10 heavy cav, or snipers, or shielders. itll become stacked and unfair and not fun for the other team. idk, i suck at putting my thoughts into words so.. yeah goodluck understanding what i mean.

Yes, because I want a 13 Riding alt named "THEY_SEE_ME_ROLLIN" on a Plated Charger. Never had to patience to actually grind it out, even with the 10k STF bonus.

No.

They can already do this, but don't. You would still have to level alts normally to even use the equipment, and you'd still need to level to generate.

1. Think about it... the gold transfer is one-way, right? So, the more you transfer, the more you will eventually have to play on you main char to regain the transferred gold. You could only farm your main as long as the main has gold, thus limiting the usefulness of transferring.
2. There are only so many general "classes". If a player uses a particular char with a particular class to gain an advantage, he doesn't need redundant builds, so the number of alts has an efficient limit.
3. The state of the game's equipment is such that more expensive gear is often not even useful, or far more costly than it is useful.
4. The Rite of Consumption deletes the alt, meaning that you might as well have gen'd your main instead. I don't see how the Rite would be abused with one-way gold transfer.

One-way gold transfer is a step towards the creation of an internal structure within the player account itself. Some players would have powerful mains and few, poor alts (mostly for consumption), and others would have more equitable systems. The type of structure would be heavily gaming-hours influenced too. The point is that it could make your current jumble of chars much more interesting.

I chose other. 

I.e., you need a good reason to do this.

I dunno what the reasons are, leave it up to the devs, shit ought to be hilarious, everything is as is should be...
