WoW is a good argument for why most of these alt QoL changes should never be implemented. They didn't increase overall player satisfaction with the game. If anything, they decreased it.

Those QoL changes led to players getting bored with the game faster because there was no reason to repeat content when every character got the reward once one character earned it.

The vast majority of rewards in this game are easy enough to obtain through normal game play. Just play the game through on the alt to earn the reward instead of expecting to get it automatically because another character has it.

It only takes the uncaring few to abuse a system for restrictions to end up placed on everyone.

Why do you think the world is effectively on lockdown right now? It's because some people only care about what they want and what's convenient for them. They don't care about the greater consequences and so everyone gets punished so those few can't make things even worse.

If Sonja and K'rina are separate people, then Sonja shouldn't be entitled to anything K'rina has any more than I'm entitled to what Donald Trump or Kim Kardashian have.

There's nothing stopping you from crafting items on K'rina, listing them on the Marketboard then switching to Sonja to buy them much as someone will buy things from another in real iife. That's how I used to do it before my alts ended up in the same FC.

The point that should be made with respect to the friend list/mail restriction is that it has done nothing to curb players intent on exploiting storage restrictions via alts. There's the marketboard as I mentioned above. There's using personal FCs with the FC chest that allows far more convenient inventory sharing than the mail does.

Players will always find ways to exploit storage limitations when there is any method of transferring items that does not require a trade window with both characters present.

SE might as well allow alts on the same account to be on the friends list because it won't make the situation any worse than it already is. The serious exploiters will continue to use personal FCs because FCs offer more than just storage. Most players won't be affected at all because they usually want the additional storage for glamour and housing items, and those can't be mailed once they bind to a character.
