Guild Wars 2

+1 This is a problem in dungeons too when you try to send items to each person in your group.

Yeah, it’s annoying. They could’ve just implemented trading between players, like all the other mmos.

Single biggest pita in the game is lack of P2P trading, having to mail items is like WHAT ?

Two years and we don’t even have something as simple as a first-person view. Not all that important compared to a lot of things, I know, but two years ago I assumed we’d have at least that by now..

Pretty bling in the gem store and getting people to buy gems—-only priority now! (to the detriment of the game as a whole btw)

lol! can’t directly send items and mail caps at 2 players. good stuff.

If mail caps at 2 players, then all you need is a mailing tree.
If you need to send out 4 items, just send 2 each to 2 players, then have those 2 players each mail out 1 to 1 more person each

They will probably introduce P2P trading in 2015 and we all have to be very Happy with the ‘new feature’ /sarcasm

TP tax fee is the biggest, most important gold sink in the game BY FAR.
Dont ask them to completely break the economy!

Invalid argument.
If they can give free repairs now, why can’t they make a basic trading system?

I’ve spent uncomparably more on TP then for armor repairs. So its uncombarably bigger gold sink.
Also, Im not playing the TP, Im just one above-average player.

Been playing since release, pretty sure I just paid more on the fee trying to list a 150g item few weeks ago than 2 years of repair.
It’s not they can’t, it’s they don’t want, no points discussing it.

Anyways, as already said, play the “mailing tree” thing.

Anet went a bit overboard on the suppression rules this go around. I understand their thoughts behind it, but they still went overboard.

The two mail limit just makes me shake my head. Without direct trading (which again, I understand “why” they did it) my husband and I tend to mail things back and forth often. Beyond that, when I was cleaning out inactives from my guild, I could only do it 2 at a time (since I mail each one). Kind of frustrating at times.

The chat suppression isn’t any better. Tried doing BB over the weekend and I was coordinating the pyro team, ended up suppressed in both map and say, which made me go hmmmmm. Had to pull a couple of randoms into a party and direct them to call things out for me.

I understand that Anet doesn’t want people to be able to spam chat like they did in GW1, but they definitely reined things in way too much. They need to loosen up just a bit and find a better middle ground.

they should at least make it possible to send friends more if they have you as friend and you have them as a friend…

so people dont even need to block you if they dont want to be spammed… they just dont need to add you as a friend..

so you are still automaticallly blocked from spamming but people can unblock you this way

P2P?

But yes, it’s annoying when trying to send mail to more than 2 other players at quick succession.

P2P?

In this topic I believe they refer to player to player (and not pay to play)

Hi, friday i was leading a defense team in tequalt and I want share some of my undead slayer potions, i send 2 but went i send try to send the third I got a mesage that I was spamming.

I know that you want control the spam on the game but remeber that we don’t have a player to player trade system, so mail things is the only way that we have to share/exchange items. So please ANET can you increase the message filter to 4? so we can a least maill a item to all our team members.

Thanks.

Sorry for my bad english.

I have the perfect solution to this..

hey we all don’t want spam, we can all agree on that.. but why cant the limit be increased if you are sending to someone on 1. your friends list, 2. your guild, 3. your party?

spam comes from unknowns so keep them at 2-3, but people you know or interact with would get an increased limit to say at least 4-5 e-mails before suppression.

should be a pretty easy thing to program.. get on it ANET

This sounds frustrating indeed. A temporary workaround to this problem would be to send more than 1 potion to your two party members. Those two party members can then further forward your potions to the remaining party members.

Not what you were looking for but at least this way you can ensure everyone in your party has what they need.

Being able to send 4 mails in a row is important for dungeons if you want to send everyone in your party food, potions or what not.

I suppose if there is a positive about suppression, it’s that there’s always something worse possible. For instance, we could have had Cryptic’s player-controlled chat ban system. With that, it was possible for a single player to “give” you a 24-hour time out from being able to chat at all — even in whispers, party or guild chat. At least suppression is automated and doesn’t hand griefing power to random people on the internet.

That said, suppression in GW2 is the wrong answer to the right question. The thresholds are way too unforgiving, and an automated system of this sort needs way more sophistication than this one appears to have.

Yeah… I was sending out 8 mails to Guild members last night, and what a pain that was… Took about 1000 hours to get them all sent out… At least the gold sellers can’t abuse the mail system in this game…

I would like a Guild mass-mail system. Would be nice to mail everyone on a guild roster at once.

And there never will be P2P trading in GW2, that is what the TP was put in the game for.

TP > P2P trading

There are ways of transferring items/gold to other players through mail – to those you trust. If everyone had the ability to cut out the TP from the system, I do believe it would have more consequences than you may imagine.
