Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this is the right forum to post this, so if it’s not can a mod move it to the right place, please? Thanks.

Anyway, the mailing system is a frustration for me at the moment, because when I join a party I like sending my team mates chocolate chip cookies. I usually add “I would send you milk, but it’s account bound.”
As soon as my team mates see this, everyone is more happy and more relaxed and this tends to make random PUGs more fun and talkative. And you know – we start socializing instead of silent running through content.

I was also sending some pots but it’s the same problem. I can’t send it to everyone and have to wait, which only prolongs the start of our run and it’s just plain annoying.
With current limitation of 2 players in certain amount of time (5 minutes or so for the third and again some time for the fourth player) this is just ridiculous. I can’t send it to all of them because I get suppressed for over-emailing.

Can we, by any chance, get an increase of the mailing cap to 4? That way we can send the emails to the entire party without being made to wait some time.

Also, can we get some milk that isn’t account bound? (This is just for the fun of it)

a more prudent fix would be to allow mass emails.
add a drop down menu to the ’To:" with options like: Guild , Party ,and Add another Recipient(or at least the ability to add a comma or semi colon to the field separating names, so you can send to more than one at a time)

Another point is that you can give everyone in your party cookies right now without a email….
all you need to do is craft the recipe for the Tray of Chocolate Cookies in the Mystic Forge, using these items : Elonian Wine, Arcane Crystals, Mystic Coins, Chocolate Chip Cookies….the exact amount for each will be told to you once you place one of each in the forge.

The only reason they set up the email system to not allow for mass emails now is Bots. Can you imagine how much easier it would be on Gold Sellers to spam the living Kitten outta everyone with emails about their websites.

So I don’t see them fixing your request, so your best option is to learn the “Tray’s”.

I get why we have this system in place. I have no issues with that.
I’m not suggesting infinite mailing, just to raise the cap from 2 to 4. That way we can send pots/food/whatever to our party members without the need to wait.
If you want to mass-spam 4 is still infinitesimally small number (same as 2) but if you want to legitimately send something to your party members you can. So i don’t, in all honesty, see the reason why they wouldn’t increase the cap to 4.

I tried trays (I have several of them unlocked on my chef just for the fun of it) but they just don’t cut it. What I mean is they don’t work with cross-server parties unless they’re spawned in the dungeon (not sure if you can do it, never really tried). But then you beat the whole point of trays and that’s to have a bunch of people take food from it – like placing one in LA.
And also, can you imagine eating a cookie in Arah, surrounded by the undead and minutes/seconds before you march to your own death.
Trays in an instance just don’t feel right for me.
