One thing I wish they would add to those optional items is the possibility to get them for all characters on your account -- the way Fantasia potions used to be before they revamped the system. Sure, they could charge a bit extra for it (say 3x whatever they charge for it, or even 5x), but to me it would provide a level of comfort knowing I could delete a character and 'start over' with the storyline without having to re-buy all the items I already had. Or create a character on a different server without moving my main or one of my primary alts. I'm speaking mainly of the 'past event rewards' category of optional items now, though I wouldn't complain if they did the same with other things as well ^^;

Of course, I have pretty much all the event rewards on most of my characters/alts, but having another of them sent to those characters wouldn't really pose any problem as such (either on my end or on SE's end, or economy-wise), since they're all Unique/Untradable. If I have them on me, I can't get them from the mail, but I can always shove them into armoire/retainerspace for that, and if I don't need them I can always vendor or discard them (whichever's possible; I'm pretty sure most are Unsellable as well).

And yes, I know this is a very selfish request, and that they're not likely to do it because 'more items sold = more money', but on the other hand, I think it's possible more people would actually buy them (despite the higher price) if they could get them for all their characters/alts that way ^^; Especially since I'm not proposing they should remove the option to buy them for a single character.
