For XIV, they really need to update the current system so that any alt on your account is automatically treated as a friend with housing privileges.
Not sure when they added the functionality, but in FFXI you can even mail nearly all RA/EX items to alts on the same server as well. As far as I know the only exceptions are AF2 from dynamis and the rewards from main story missions (like raja's ring.)

This would be a massive QOL update for this game. Perhaps find a way to track accounts that send more than X amount of mail daily and investigate further? I'm sure they could find a way to make it work .
I'm too lazy to look it up but I believe it was one of the questions in a live letter near when 2.0 came out.
