Should it take 2 years to have some form of item/gil delivery? Saying "its comming in... 10 months" doesn't really explain why it would be missing for the first 14.

How's this for ya?

The original team screwed up and launched the game too early. Because of this there were many incomplete or just awful systems in place. After a few months the original producer was removed from his position and Yoshida was put in his place. In order to fix all the issues with the game Yoshida decided it essentially needed to be rebuilt from the ground up. However because of how poorly the game was originally coded this proved to be much tougher than anticipated and a lot of things simply couldn't be implemented with the game as is. So they then set out to have part of the team develop a version 2.0 complete with a new server system and graphics engine. However because these systems are so integral to the operation of the game, many features could not be implemented until these new systems go live with the release of 2.0. The mailbox is one of those features, that's why it's been missing.
