I think it's cool and all that you can have up to three characters per account. I also like that all characters on a specific account share Crystal Energy. However, I think it's lame that different characters on a single account share the same mist energy and mist regeneration time. I think each character should have their own mist tank that is unaffected by the others. I believe it would promote people to use their other characters more. Each character has to build their own gear anyway so I feel it would also increase the amount of Crystal Energy that was sold and traded.
Separate mist tank regeneration for alts

Different characters on a single account share mist energy to prevent people from making characters just go get free energy.
If every character got their own ME, really serious players would get three accounts and make 9 characters, and would have 900 free ME a day. They would quickly have more materials and crowns than regular players, which isn't exactly fair.
The reason multiple accounts/characters are allowed is for multiple people to play on the same computer. If every character had separate ME tanks, it would be good for families with one computer...but it would be WAY easier for individual players to exploit the system.

But, each character still has to build their own gear. And ME cannot be traded like CE. Besides, If a "serious player" really wanted to play nine characters, what is stopping them from making nine accounts? Allowing ME to charge separately on each character would stop people from making multiple accounts according to you're argument.

Each computer is permitted to have 3 accounts, no more than that.
Allowing ME to charge separately on each character would not stop people from making more accounts, it would encourage exploiters to make as many accounts as possible to get free energy.
It would probably screw up the game economy even more; just wanted to give you the reason ME doesn't already do what you suggested.

Well, what i could do...
I would just have my alts craft random junk and sell it at really cheap prices and then send everything to my main. This is just messing up the game economy, and would probably triple the price of CE.

You're reasoning doesn't make
You're reasoning doesn't make sense. 100 energies worth of farming would only get you about 4-5 shards of a particular kind. And seeing as how most patterns that become something worth while start at 2* or 3* the energy cost of making said items is already high enough to force you to buy CE. Besides, if trading between characters became a problem you could always make it so trading between characters on a single account was imposable. Also there is no possible way to completely limit an individual from making as many accounts as he or she wants. Not having individual mist tanks on separate characters makes having multiple characters per account pointless.

But there already is. We're ignoring that if you're using the same computer, Mist and Energy is shared on a separate account (assuming they're both F2P). I think that's how it works.

That's silly. Exploiting the separate Mist Energy would lower your inclination to buy CE with actual money. Assuming you do a JK run twice with 100 ME, that's roughly 12k. Between 3 characters, that's 36k. Given the current market exchange, you just got about 600 energy relatively easily with absolutely no effort in about 2 hours. Doing such a thing normally (running JK 6 times on pure mist, twice per day) would take 3 days.
They don't want that and that's why it won't happen.
Does no one agree this would be a good idea?
