Alt characters and housing

[Sida]

I heard the reason was to encourage people to not share accounts. The idea being that if you can't send help to your friend/sibling through mail, it would encourage them to buy their own account. I don't know if this is cultural thing, but as for myself, it sounds very backward thinking. And now that houses are account locked, which again I think is good idea in itself, we should really not be locked out of the content we already have on other characters. Make the alts being automatically regarded as owners for any other purpose than name in owner list, if the friend listing is out of question. Though I think we really should be able to transfer stuff between our alts as well. They are our own characters after all.
