I have made this mistake too many times to mention but last night was my last straw. Currently if you are composing mail and if you are filling out the name of the recipient and you target anyone else near you during that time it will instantly replace the name you are typing with whoever you happened to click on with your mouse. This isn’t a big problem if there is no one else around but if you are standing at a crafting station, simply using your mouse to free look while accidentally targeting someone else will cause you to inadvertently send that mail to whomever you happened to target instead of whom you are actually sending that mail to.

Last night I did this exact same thing while sending mats for an entire exotic to a stranger, unfortunately this time I did not see whom I accidentally clicked on so I never knew who I sent it to nor is there any way to determine this and unfortunately the recipient took advantage and kept what I sent.

ANET, please give us the option to disable name fill based on targeting, this is a crippling feature.

A little curious, but why would you be mousing around the environment whilst mailing someone?

“Hey I swung a sword, Hey Hey I swung a sword again,”

“After several hours I’m still swinging this sword with1 lodestone drop”

Wait… you were typing in a text box… then got annoyed that it changed… when you clicked out of it. Really?

It’s more annoying to right-click and “mail to” an item and just have some random name in there, targeted or not. I like that I can just click a person and mail them something
