Guild Wars 2

I’m hoping someone can help me out. I just sent mats (5 ecto, 30 ancient log, 5 powerful blood) and 85 silver in the mail, but I forgot to fill out the To: line. I no longer have the mats in my bag, bank, or vault.

I tried recreating this but it doesn’t send the mail. I’m trying to figure out where the mats could have gone.

Anyone have any ideas? Anyone experience something like this before?

I was able to do it again with an elder log and 1 copper. Is this a bug?

You may have to send in a bug report, as that does seem strange. :[

Somewhere out there, someone who managed to be nameless is celebrating.

Are you sure the To: line was blank? Sometimes when I have someone targeted (or just nearby maybe, I can’t tell) their name is automatically in the To: line. You just might not have noticed. I always have to check this. It’s happened several times to me.

I’m pretty sure it was blank in both cases. I will test again when I get home. Maybe if you have a player targeted when you right click an item to mail it, it defaults the address to that player?

So, after looking around the forums, apparently it will auto fill a person standing next to you, confirming what you said Panda. As I was standing in the trading post that narrows it down… Guess I’m hoping whoever received my stuff is having a good day and sends it back… lol

Good game design…

That happened to me before as well, I lose 15g worth of materials.

I assume that this was implemented to make up for lack of trade; all you have to do is stand next to someone and it will fill their name in for you, a kind of pseudo-trade. However, all it does is cause issues so I hope to see it go soon.

Not even a “thank you” from the person. Whats this world coming too…I’d like to at least know his name so I can feel like I contributed to the charity of X

I heard about this and tried to mail a gift to a random person on purpose, but it said I wasn’t allowed to send anything without filling in a name …

If you are standing next to someone when you right-click an item to mail it, it will default the person you are standing next to as the recipient.

Yes, this is my fault. I was tired and neglected to change the address. But this is a terrible mechanic, and should be changed.
