Link accounts and faction please

[Davngr1]

<p>i know linking accounts is something devs are working on and hope it will be available soon but would also like to see faction linking for things like bg.    i feel the greatest replay value is being able to experience content with different classes but frankly grinding all that faction seems trite.   doing it once is expected but the other 2 - ? times is excessive.</p>

<p>I was more than a little disappointed that so little progress seems to have been made on linking accounts.  Swapping alts in and out of raids to get raid loot has become such an issue that my guild recently had to put restrictions on alts on different accounts getting raid loot.  Totally understandable since swapping toons slows the raid down so much.  Was hoping that the new mechanism that allows some loot to be traded between players present for a kill could have been leveraged to make loot tradable to alts on different accounts...guess not.  For what it is worth...I see a slew of upcoming features that I would be willing to trade to get account linking in sooner rather than later.  As matter of fact...of all the stuff I saw coming from FF, mercenaries is about the only thing that I would like to see more than account linking.</p>

<p>There was a post on it,  said account linking should be live by 2048.</p>

<p>Technically linking account is trivial.</p><p>SOE should compute how much money this feature may generate. If linked accounts were allowed i would get a second one (with RAF <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ). And may be 1/3 of the players would do so.</p>
