I was actually just suppressed after sending ONE mail. ONE. To someone who has been on my friends list for YEARS.

Is it really too much to ask that messaging not be suppressed when sending mail to friends or guildies? At the very least increase the amount of mails you can send before you’re suppressed! I don’t understand how to this day this is still an issue. It’s incredibly frustrating.

I understand the reasoning behind having the limit for strangers (ie. people not in my guild or on my friends list) but it makes no sense to me that I can’t send several mails to people I know, or vice versa.

TLDR:
Problem: Messaging suppressed after ONE mail to a friend.
Suggested Fix: Remove limit for friends and guildies.

Oh, and to further explain how I was suppressed after one mail – I screwed up and didn’t have a recipient the first time I tried to send the first mail. Sent it the second try, then couldn’t send another one. I attempted two mails, I only actually sent one, I was suppressed.

Presumably its to hinder gold sellers. How would you stop gold sellers from friending people in order to message or mail. without hitting these limits?

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I’m referring to mutual friends, not followers. Nothing stops people from following you, but it’s down to you in the end whether or not you actually add them back. They can’t force you to friend them. I wouldn’t want a system where people can add you and instantly spam you with messages. No, definitely need to be mutual friends before limits are changed.

Then gold sellers require buyers to put them on their friend list. They’d obviously only friend the buyer once they show up on their follower’s list. Then the gold sellers can bypass the mail limit.

You did only say friends which is what a follower is, some one who has friended you. Perhaps you should edit your first post to reflect that you meant mutual friends.

Delete old/useless mails and remove unactive/non-added friends.

Ideally, friending someone should not be as simple as choosing to do so. Other games send the friend request to the “friend” who must then accept it. Facebook also does this. Now, maybe this is beyond ANet’s capabilities, but it would solve this issue and allow for a relaxation of the suppression bull-gravy among friends while preserving the gold seller suppression.

Player X wants to add you to their friends list. Do you accept?
(Yes)
(No)
(No and deny all future invitations from this account. No notification required, silent block)

Gold seller problem fixed.

Player X wants to whisper you but is below the level limit you have set for whispers, the whisper has been denied. (Again no notification, silent block.)

Gold seller problem fixed.

Private WoW servers can do it, so can Anet. -.-

This is true. Their system has many flaws with how friending, blocking and privacy is handled. It’s beyond bad that someone you’ve blocked can not only know you are online and get notified in chat when you log on and off but knows what map you are on by simply friending you and checking. You can be set to invisible and guildies can see your dot on the map.

Agreed, this is a problem. When I do fractals and people don’t have any food or other buffs I want to send them some of mine, but I get suppressed after sending only 2 mails.

blocking gold sellers is extremely easy, don’t see why 99% of the players should suffer because the 1% is too stupid to right click and block

It’s not my rules, so no use saying that to me. Take it up with with ANet.

It isn’t to block gold sellers, but to block gold seller SPAM.

To that end, mutual friends should have unlimited mails as they would not be involved in gold seller spam messages.
