That reason is now void, when AHs are shared anyway
Before the AH merge, sending gear was possible through the neutral AHs - it was super annoying, as you had to gather a friend to post the item for you, and you had to look out for other players who might try to snipe the item, but it was doable.
Now, sending gear is almost impossible, there are no neutral AHs, even the auctioneers in Booty Bay etc. just connect you to the standard AH hub, and there are people constantly scanning the AH with addons, at every hour of the day.
On one hand, Blizz clearly want us to experience the other faction, by making greatly different story lines, unique mounts, pets, transmogs, and ultimately the achieve Double Agent, but then they make it such a pain when we want to gear out alts, just because they have red flag and our main has blue... for no reason!
Nobody else annoyed by this? I am surprised I haven't seen a discussion about this change yet, and ideally what is Blizzard's stance on it.
