I'm also tired of having to jump through hoops to send stuff to my mules, but :

About this, Camate did a very lousy job at explaining back then. What he failed to explain is that it wasn't about sending triggers directly to your mules, but rather about hoarding triggers in your delivery box if you allow them to be sent.

When you send a Rare item to someone (including yourself) it disappears from the system until you pick it up, allowing you to get another right away. So you can have up to the limit of your delivery box capacity on hold as long as you don't pick them up or do the "send to yourself > Return to yourself" thing.

And THAT is what Camate was referring to when he mentioned limiting their circulation, because as long as you don't allow items to be sent you are guaranteeing there will only be one of such rare items per character in the server at any given time. If you allow them to be sent you can have up to...what was the limit again? 128 items? per character.

Now, all things considered. Does it make sense to be so concerned about trigger availability nowadays?

No, it doesn't. With the story and main updates concluding by November all that matters right now is to make the game as convenient and enjoyable as possible so players who remain or come back can enjoy their remaining time in the game without unnecessary inconveniences. IMHO.
