By enabling flight paths on 2 additional characters, you and others are now disadvantaged in what capacity? Flight paths are not a limited resource, given that no one is competing for them and everyone will have them all by 60 I don't see that advantage you're so concerned about. You even went so far as to say a material disadvantage, meaning there is a definable value to what I've kept from people. Can you elaborate?
Quite frankly, I'd say the advantage is quite pleasant and convenient, but immaterial. At worst, someone who observed me has a severe distaste for people in organized lines and I offended them with my display of perfectly spaced joggers as I ran characters from one Flight Master to another. Aside from that, I really don't understand how I could have negatively impacted anyone at all.
Looking forward to your response

In fact, when I was explaining why I had the characters following me, I said it was my wife/kids accounts and he said that if they weren't my accounts that it was account sharing and I'd be banned for logging into them. So, be warned guys ... apparently you can't even log in your wife's charater...
Quite frankly, I find it frustrating. We're not botting, farming or PVPing, we're not spamming or being rude, crude or otherwise offensive in chat. In fact, we're cordial, social and polite, and help people when we can as we're playing. That's more than can be said for a large portion of the population. As we have different schedules, we don't always get to have everyone on at the same time so yes, we would sometimes carry an unmanned account along with us so that they were on the same quests and the same level. On retail we played together and it was never an issue, it simply allowed everyone to jump in and be at the same place when we logged in together.
On Nostalrius, apparently not. Gold spammers can live in the cities touting their wares non-stop, people can spout off profanities and racial slurs in world chats all they want, but god forbid you log in your wife's character and pick up a few flight paths because that's ruining the game.
Seriously, take a look at this policy guys. I get what you're trying to avoid, which is farmers, griefers and cheaters. But telling me you'll ban me for logging into my immediate family members accounts? Really? Are you really making the server by pushing quality players like me away because of some trivial technicality?
It's a shame, because I liked this server. But if you're going to ban me for logging into my wife account and running her character to an instance so we can start right when she gets home? I think I'll just have to find a new place to play.

Account sharing is a bannable offense, which you just admited to. May want to re-evaluate what your argument is.

I am at a disadvantage in some ways because I dont use multiple accounts, therefore I cant spam my toons or my family's toons through instances or assist in quests whilst on follow. If exploitation runs rampant on this server the auction house will no longer be blizzlike. I hope you get banned dear boy.
