-We're not allowed to send mail to non-friends to prevent RMT, though they seem to be doing just fine as they are.
I'm not sure how this really prevents much of anything related to RMT. However, I think its great because in FFXI you could get a mailbox full of crap from people you don't know and spend hours getting rid of it all.


-We're not allowed to use /tells in dungeons because they want to prevent harassment, though, if someone wants to harass people in a dungeon they won't use /tells, they'll do it to their face for the whole group to see; Nor does it stop them from harassing the character if they are on the same world as them(after the dungeon).
I always thought this was more of a technical hurdle since instances are on different servers and people might have the same names since they are from different servers - other issues like that.

-We won't be allowed to see the names of adversaries in PvP because they want to prevent harassment, though for the main part in pvp, harassment takes place not because someone beat you (or that you beat them); More often than not it occurs as shaming ex-team mates or simply bragging about how good you think you are (and then you're called out on it).
I think this is a great idea, although I don't think "Fresh Meat" is a very original or Final Fantasyish name.

-We're prevented from dye'ing anything but our crafted armours because they think it will dilute the intended look of everything else. If that's the case, why are we allowed to dye anything if there's a way you want everyone/everything to look?
Also agree with this 100%. I'm happy SE puts limits on stuff like this along with hair color and other aspects of personalization. I don't want this game to look like the circus.

-We're limited in the amount we can say, or how often we can speak on the forums even so far as to having to earn the right to speak at all by leveling... I have not seen a reason for this, but i do not think any excuse that is given can justify limiting your paying customers in this manner.
Not sure what to say about this one. I mean people say so much crap on this forums, I sometimes think SE should actually moderate more not less >.>
