So, with the advent of class-changes coming. I feel like this should be brought up once more. "Twinking". A term to give items from your level sixty, to your lower level character. A term that, whilst 'useful', is rather out-dated. It proves to do nothing but hinder people playing your game. It's like LEing to get perfect stats. I can understand 'no partying with yourself'. That is a fine addition. It stops people from grinding themself. Instead it now forces people to grind with their friend who has a grindmage, which in turn forces them to owe a favor and return it later on. Painfully dull cycle when you could just grind yourself, but whatever. You don't want it, you got it.

What isn't cool is grinding for items on your grind mage, to get an item for your Not-Grind-Capable Character. To get your level 60 swordsman that AMAZING TARNADA HE NEEDS FOR HIS BUILD. Except that now that you have it on your grind-mage, you can't get it to your other character without belligerent abuse of the system in attempts to get the item over without anything going off. It's a fruitless system that serves to do nothing but cause points where people groan as they get an item and trade it to someone else. I'm fine with items being restricted by level. Restricted by gold. What have you. I just know a ton of the community is kind of annoyed with it as a whole.

Hell, some newbie asked earlier if he could give his items (a crummy sword and some low level armor) to his alt because his main had died and his brother was going to be adventuring and played now instead of him. His reaction whenever we had to tell him, "No. You can't trade with yourself whatsoever. No items can be transferred between characters because of an OOC ruling." He was outright confused with "Roleplaying mandatory" being limited harshly by an OOC ruling to attempt to 'manage' people trading items between themself and the like.

This ruling really isn't okay, and honestly? It needs to see change from the current state that it is in.
