Muling: Let us mail to alts without having them on friend list

[Welsper59]

A yes/no/maybe is fine, this isn't a call center so I don't see why you guys have to keep making vague non-answers to our questions.

Unless you're new to MMORPGs (or just didn't notice), the games of the genre are ever evolving/changing. A decision made previously, might not be the thing that is needed in the future. For example, with the mail to alt concern, if the main reason was RMT, but RMT presence is nearly gone in the future, they'll likely change their stance on it because they know players want it (and it has little detriment to the game with RMT presence removed). Situational responses for situational needs.

Not being able to mail to one's alts does not affect RMT in the slightest. These are people who have access to more accounts than they know what to do with. They don't give a rat's ass that they can't mail within a single account because they can just mail stuff to one of the hundreds of other accounts they have possession of. Average players, however? Those are the only ones affected by this, as they don't typically have more than one account. Also keep in mind that there are plenty of MMOs out there who do allow free mailing between characters (yes, even without the restriction of having to be on one's friend list), and no one in those mmos is besieged by RMT spam. I honestly think I received an RMT letter once in my five years of playing WoW; I've never gotten one in Rift, nor did I ever receive one in TERA (or Aion, but I can't remember the mailing system in that game). There is literally no benefit in doing this.
