Guild Wars 2

Why not make it so that you can only send mail to people who are friends? If I add you, and you add me – we can now send mail to one another. This will prevent the gold spammers from filling up peoples boxes with gold spam.

It will also prevent others from performing trades via mail for profit (which they should be using TP for).

It also stops people from communicating with each other for legitimate reasons. I want to be nice send some one an item I have to have them on my friends list , that is just going to mean I am not going to share any more. Stopping goldsellers should not stop normal players. Any solution that does is not a solution.

Also why on earth can’t I trade with a friend through mail? Or even a stranger? Why is the trading post my only option?

I think this is a pretty good idea LoreChief – lots of complainers about personal trading etc. but none of their griefs seem very convincing.

Whats stopping you from trading with your friends via mail?

You aren’t supposed to be able to trade with strangers via mail, thats not why it’s there and that’s not how it works.

Trading post is your only option because that’s how trades should be done! We aren’t supposed to have an in-game craigslist you know.
