I would prefer all but the consumables (eg dye) to be account wide. There is no reason for the mounts, minions or cash-shop costumes to be bound to a single player other than to insult the intelligence of the player and basically frustrate them into only playing one character period. On the flip side of this, alter housing so that players can not acquire more than one house. Period. If you want a FC house, someone has to make the sacrifice to have it bound to their account. No alts get to bid on a house on the same world or any other world in any data center. All alts on the same world get assigned to the same house by default. Alts on other worlds can't bid on a personal house, only contribute to a FC house someone else effectively owns.

But I'm not even that concerned about players creating 8 alts per world just to make a FC of their own, but I am concerned that players may be intentionally doing an "FC of Alts" just to side-step the limitations meant to keep RMT in check. But I digress, if Square enix doesn't see this is as a problem then it's probably never going to change.

What probably should happen, and I mean this in the nicest way possible is that "gear bound to player" should instead be "gear bound to account" so that players who DO in fact buy an outfit off the mog station and later decide to give it to their alt, can.
