I don't understand why the Devs think that being able to send mail to an alt is dangerous to the economy. It's available to my alts when I play SWTOR, and nobody is screaming that the feature has ruined the game. Heck, even the F2P crowd isn't complaining about that. ;-)

If the mail-to-alts function is definitely not going to happen, then the Devs need to implement an account-wide storage system, like the one I use when I play GW2.

I like having alts. I get bored looking at the same pixilated rear end. I enjoy making new characters, and the Devs have given us a really cool character-creation application. I regret that I can only make eight characters on my server.
