Guild Wars 2

I stood at the crafting station working for about an hour. During that hour I ran to the TP once to grab something. During this time I was not talking. Not in map chat, not in local chat, not even in Guild chat.

Once I got done crafting I attempted to mail some items. I sent 2 mail, 2! not 5 not 10, 2! When I tried to send the third mail it wouldn’t let me because of excessive messaging. Seriously? Since when is 3 mail excessive messaging!?!?

Yes, I agree. This is really annoying. It should be more than just 2.
Handing out food/utility to guild members/friends before an adventure, for example, is a nightmare with this system.

It’s been like that a long time. I remember hitting this back shortly after launch when I sent a friend some mats to help her with her crafting. You can send 2 back to back emails but then you need to wait for a bit, maybe 30 seconds or so.

I vote for unrestricted mail between guildmates.

Since over 2 years ago. “Excessive messaging” is probably a poor explanation. Think of it a short hand for:

Please wait less than 30-40 seconds before sending a new email. This policy prevents gold sellers from bother more than two or three people before we get a chance to block them completely. We apologize for the delay.

It’s not “excessive” for you to send three emails in a row; it’s excessive for spammers to send any at all. This amounts to a compromise.

Everyone keeps saying wait 30 seconds but it was quite a bit longer than that before it would let me send another mail. You would also think that if a player has 11 level 80s on their account then it is pretty safe to assume that they are not a gold seller.

I agree that Guild mates should be able to send unlimited mail.

I am not saying remove the restrictions completely but I do think the current system needs to be re-evaluated and some changes made.

It’s about 30 seconds, give or take a bit. I email between my alt account to my main and it’s about the time it takes to switch chars, set up an email and then count to 10, not too fast. However if you try to send before the time is up then the timer starts over and you might get more time added on top of that.
