There is also a new 500 gold a week per account limit. Has someone else sent you gold?
Gold transfer changes
We are introducing a change to gold transfers as part of an effort to address fraud and account theft. Beginning on March 31, 2015, there will be a limit on how much gold a single player can receive through in-game mail and/or the Guild Vault each week. This limit, which is based on historical data, should not affect the normal transfer of gold between players. It is designed to prevent rapid and abusive transfers of gold that may be part of account takeovers, fraud, and RMT (gold selling).
Full details about the system:
- Each account will have a limit on how much gold can be moved from its mail in-box and Guild Vault into its wallet each week.
- If you receive more gold through in-game mail than you can accept in a week, the gold will remain attached to the mail in your in-box and can be retrieved up to the limit the following week or in subsequent weeks.
- For the purposes of this limit, a week begins at 12:01 AM UTC each Sunday (5:01 PM PDT/4:01 PM PST Saturday).
- Gold received from the Trading Post is not subject to this limit.
- The maximum amount of gold that can be sent via a single in-game mail will be 500 gold.
- The maximum total amount of gold that an individual player account can accept in a week will be 500 gold.
- We will monitor this system and may make changes to the limits if we find that changes are necessary.
