So we may not have all had this problem, but assume you have. We want to send mail to many guild members at once and we get suppressed after sending to 2 or 3 players. It would be nice to have the power to send the same message to multiple members or multiple players.

Something I can see as a problem if left to being a power for any player to send to multiple players regardless of guild status is that if they aren’t in the guild – bots can then mass spam many players. But, if you restrict this power to just guilds and their inclusive members only – I feel this addition would be a super awesome inclusion in this new HoT package.

This would have to be done one of three ways I’d think.

1) Assume a player wants to send 10g and a food item to their friends. If we let X represent the number of players they send to – the game will need to verify that the player sending the items indeed has X(10g + food item) in their inventory before sending so as to ensure the game doesn’t duplicate items by accident.
2) Assume you don’t add to the suppression counter when targeting a member in the current party or your currently activated guild with your mail. This would mean if you had potions in your inventory for a dungeon run or something – you can send to those players freely without having to wait 3 minutes or so for the darn thing to ware off.
3) Assume you don’t allow items to be sent in this system. You allow for multiple text only messages to be sent to all guild members freely.

Or – you could try any other variation on this. I just find this to be a valuable feature currently missing in this game. You guys said it yourself during your HoT feed on Twitch – we are a highly sociable community – so why limit us?

Thoughts?
