As an example, imagine if I advocated for the position that if I filed a report for botting, that instantly suspends a person's account until its reviewed by a GM. I swear I wouldnt abuse it, and it would probably cut down on botting! Frankly, however, you should know well enough that people will start using it in a fashion that would be toxic to the game, which will result in either the Devs reverting the feature or the GMs being so draconian that false reports will result in punihsment, which in turn means people wont report anything for fear of reprisal.
While Im not suggesting that mailing between alts is toxic, Im saying that just because you want something doesnt mean it wouldnt have detrimental effects.
To get what you want, without the 'abuses' Ive mentioned coming to pass, you would have to redesign a lot of the structures in how the game works. As an example, one structure they might do is simply make your retainers account wide. But then thatll hurt people who want alts that are completely separate of one another. And at that point, why is what they want less significant than what you want? Not to mention one shared inventory starts becoming a problem once you start having more than 1 alt if you so did choose.
Maybe take a break from the forums for a bit though. You got way too angry and personal about this. You want something in the game, be prepared to repeat yourself and defend your point, because people will have questions and comments. If its a solid point, people will back you. Im personally just not seeing a real justification here in the thread from what I have read(as well as a lot of quick dismissal of a very pertinent fact that the game is designed a certain way), and with the addition of more and more features, Im not seeing the appeal to having alts to begin with outside of very personal and limited uses (such as having a new character headcanon as you do).
