When 2.0 launched, I started a new character on a non-legacy server. After taking a short break around 2.1, I started playing my legacy character. Last night, I transferred my non-legacy character to my legacy server.

I have items on this character that I would like to send to myself, however, upon trying to do so, I realized that I can't because my alt character isn't on my friendslist. Upon trying to add my alt character to my friendslist, I was unable to do so.

Now, with a quick search, I have found a workaround. Log out while in an instance, log into other character, and send a friend request.

It should not be this difficult. Two quick fixes come to mind:

1) Automatically add same-server alts to your friendslist.
2) Automatically list alts on the same server in your mail list.
