It would be nice if some of those things were consolidated. I don't really see all that much reason for inf to even be per character (obviously the cap would have to be raised if inf was account-wide).

Send 20 emails to your global with 1 million inf each. Every time you need a mil, open your email. Sounds simple. Do it like once a week and you'll have that cash ready anytime you need. If that sounds too tedious, raise the number of emails or the amounts. Do it once and be ready when you need it. No need to waa waa that the devs don't do it for you.
i personally would get more use out of the vault being made account wide than a global bank, i dont have problems emailing myself inf, i do however have problems with emailing 1 attachment at a time as the 15 sec between emails makes the process extremely tedious

It would more so be watching Clark Kent withdrawing 2 million bucks from a joint slush-fund shared by Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent.

Wait wasn't there that one movie where Superman posed as Batman so no one got suspicious when Bruce Wayne had been kidnapped (I *think* by Brainiac)?

I would pay good money for account-wide storage. It isn't strictly necessary with the email system, but neither are, say, extra enhancement trays, and I paid for those long before they went on sale.
Yes, you can use email. Yes, you can sorta fake this with a solo SG base. But both of those things have obstacles, limitations, and annoyances of their own.

Quote:
If I had to guess, using a signed int means that if some glitch ever happens to subtract more inf than you have, it just puts you at -3 inf or whatever, rather than underflowing back around to 4 billion, which would make the hypothetical bug merely frustrating, rather than economy-shatteringly exploitastic. Or possibly just because whoever coded it figured 2 billion was already high enough that an extra factor of 2 could not possibly matter (and at the time, they were basically correct, although they should have known that MMOs tend toward ever-larger numbers), so they didn't worry too much about the data type.

It was somewhat lolsy seeing certain Batman villains going against Superman.
Although for someone called Brainiac he didn't do his research on Bruce. Everyone was tipped off that something was wrong cause in a video message Bruce was smiling.
As for the topic at hand
It would be nice having some sort of account wide bank.
However something i would want to see done first is having the crafting table look up what you have in storage. Another MMO I play has this and it's a great feature that makes crafting better.
I gotta say, I completely agree with this. Although I rarely find myself e-mailing influence, I do find myself e-mailing a large amount of useful recipes. I have to wait 15 seconds between e-mails to transfer enh/recipes ONE at a time. Then log back onto another character, in my own personal SG and place them into the desired vault/enh table/insp holder.
It's so troublesome for an experienced IO'er/builder.

For myself, I'd like to see the email mechanics tweaked so that, when you sent an email to yourself, a) you didn't have the 15-second cooldown, and b) could stack any number of identical objects in the attachment. To prevent this from being exploited, any email that is to yourself would not be forwardable -- so you couldn't, for example, load up a rack of Damage IOs, mail them to yourself, and then forward the stack to another player.
