I can't wait for whatever they have planned for player (or even LS?) housing, sounds great. However, I am not really sure what you are implying with deliver/mail box or really see much of a difference between the two? I understand what you mean about possible exploits, but this has been my problem with some of SE's game design policies. You don't cut off your foot because you have an ingrown toenail (normally). Thats like Amazon permanently disconnecting from the internet as a way to avoid viruses and hackers. In their case its counter-productive because they are an internet business, but in our case its often counter-productive to the enjoyment of the game. Got off on a bit of a tangent, but the point is that you don't inconvinience your playerbase with specific game mechanics to fix security issues, you find stronger security measures that do not hamper gameplay.

As for having a DB/MB system, I definately support them including one at some point. This would not just be used to get things from the AH or retainers or what have you. I used the DB/MB systems quite heavily in other MMOs to pass out currency/consumables/ and sometimes gear to fellow LS/Guild mates.
