Guild Wars 2

I’m sending out a lot of dye to members of my guild that wants some. I keep getting my messaging disabled for long periods of time due to “excessive messaging”. I get the same on the trading post a lot when buying a lot or selling a lot.

Apparently these are meant to combat bots? Considering we have to buy Heart of Throns, shouldn’t that prove we’re not a bot? Can we have our limits increased?

There may have been more bots in Guild Wars 2 near launch than there are today. They were everywhere. I’m not sure what purchasing has to do with it.

Regardless, perhaps, one day, the Devs will devise a way to raise the limit as well as combat bots and bypass any technical limitations.

Accounts are also bought with stolen or fraudulent credit cards so the buying doesn’t prove that the account is legitimate.

Why not just put the extra dyes in the guild bank and let those that need or want them to just take them from the guild bank? You can do that with extra recipes or what ever instead of trying to mail them also.

That certainly works for the OP’s specific case, but there are lots of other legit uses of mail that get suppressed. For example, reminders about special guild activities or non-guild invitations to raid night.

Unfortunately, there’s no good way to balance convenience against anti-bot/scammer behavior. The things that work best against gold sellers also affect legit player and the things most convenient for ordinary humans also are more convenient for bots.
