Guild Wars 2

So, I’m trying to send some cooking mats to a guildmate and as I send them to email, and hit send, I catch this glimpse of a different name on the TO line. No “sent” items to check who I just sent this stuff to, and no way to recall the email. My friend did not receive the items, as he was online at the time and confirmed that he didn’t get an email from me. All I can recall is that the name started with an “R”. My friend’s name doesn’t.

So I start checking on it. Here’s what I found:

• I have nobody selected or primaried.
• Open inventory and click on mail item to…
• email opens and item populates the attachment box and a random name populates the TO line. Interesting…
• I change the name to my friend’s name on the TO line
• select another item to send to my email and again, another random (yet different) name repopulates the TO line.
• Five times this happens.
• Each time, a new random name appears. It seemed to be a random name of someone standing close to me as I’m watching and testing. However, by the time I realize this, there are no “R” names that look familiar. Actually, there were no “R” names at all, and none of the names looked like the name I glimpsed.

Kinda ticked off that this would happen. I filed a bug report and included screenshots within a few minutes of it happening. I also files another bug report after I realized through troubleshooting, where the names were coming from. It just shouldn’t populate or repopulate a name on a TO line at all.

Anyone else see this issue? Kinda ticked off. Those were valuable cooking mats.

I concur this bug. Last night I was sending materials to a friend so that he can make me an Orichalcum ring. The situation unfolded exactly as described by illeah. I lost 15 Ori ingots, 5 globs of ectoplasm and 5 ruby orbs. I think the system should not randomly put a recipient name in the address box like this.

Oy. I had no idea that was happening since the easiest way I’ve found to mail is to right click the name in chat or in the guild roster and click Mail To. Each and every time. I don’t even try to type the name in the box, given how long and elaborate names can be in this game.

Anyway, until they fix it, I suggest doing it the way I just described, and always flicking a glance over the To line before hitting Send.

I guess this has happened to me a couple of times.

One time I was sending some 12-slot bags to a guildie, mailed & he didn’t recieve them. On this occasion I put a second set in the guild bank, but thats 1 set of bags gone missing.

Another time was when I was making some weapons for my gf’s character. These were one 1-H sword & axe and a 2-H greatsword. Now these weren’t exoctics, but they were rare’s. Not as expensive but still quite a lot of items. The 1-H weapons mailed fine, but the first 2-H greatsword didn’t get through, so I made another one & sent that. This didn’t arrive either. So that’s two 2-H Rare Greatswords (Mithril) lost.

So i agree this needs to be looked at.

i don’t know if it’s related but once i tried to whisper a guy, right clicked his name in chat→whisper and another name appeared in the /whisper field. tried friending him and the same thing happened.
