Bind on Account not living up to it's name...

So I was thinking, yeah maybe I have a lot of character spread across realms, maybe I play too much. A lot of characters spread throughout my realms are for playing with other friends who leveled on their "home" server. I logged onto an alt on my home server that had all this bind on account gear, and noticed that I'm really not going to have a use for this gear on the server. I later logged onto my friend's server, and noticed that I leveled far slower than him. I saw a guild Bind on Account piece on this other dude, and that's where my idea came from.
What if, you could send your Bind on Account gear cross server? I know, it's been thought of before, but it's been about 2 years now, and we're still not able to do so. I took a bit of thought into this and decided that sending the gear itself across servers would most likely get lost, especially in the case of deleting a character that you may have forgotten the items in the bank (did that with a bow and trinket now...) Instead of sending the gear between characters, it could be accessed like a companion pet who gives you access to the bind on account gear that you've EARNED (like the ethereal dude I guess?) You could have as many pieces of the gear in your bags as you really wanted, seeing as they don't have a sell price and can't be traded with other people.
I dunno, you guys think about it.

iirc, they were having some technical issues with mailing cross server but did have this idea in the back of their head. However, with other balancing issues currently in live alongside of bugs.. further features are less than likely to make it to testing for some time.
Pretty much this.
Blizzard has wanted to make mail cross realm, but they haven't been able to figure out exactly how it'll work yet.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying make BoA gear items behave the same way BoA mounts and pets do (celestial steed, moonkin hatchling, etc)?
If so, I'm on board! It would be a major upgrade though because you could then use the BoAs on multiple characters at one time, but man would that be nice :D Sadly, sounds way too good to be something blizz would do, or if they did do it they'd up the price on them so high that I'd never be able to get them lol.

Maybe something as simple as when you purchase the item, every character you have gets it in the mail or something like that the way they do BoA pets and such. The only downside to that is there would be so many BoA items that one character would have in their mail at once, maybe they could single it down to the gear that that class can use or would be optimal... I don't know.

Or maybe you can pay and "unlock" the item and all of your alts on any server could visit a vendor and pick up the item......

keep it out of WoW.
Too
late.
none of those affect the gameplay directly as unlocking items with money does.

One thing i did, was when free server transfers were available, i made a character, gave him all the heirlooms i don't need on home realm or will need to level new toons with and transferred him to a server where it just so happened a lot of my friends were on.

I think he meant "pay" as in using justice points and gold the way we already do, just that the jp/gold unlocks the ability to go retrieve the item from a vendor rather than getting an actual item. I don't think he meant pay with real $ (could be wrong, just my interpretation)
Edit: and if that interpretation is correct I think it's a fine idea, but comes with the same issue as cross-realm mail in that we don't know how hard it is to code, we already know the mount/pet mail thing works.
Edit2: I suppose rather than mailing the actual gear it could cause it to mail a voucher for the piece of gear from a vendor, sort of a combination of the 2 ideas. whenever you purchase a BoA (with jp/gold) it sends a voucher to every toon and every toon you create afterward.
