Mail - Should we be able to send mail to ourselves?

Soulharvester

Mail at present: User is unable to send mail to same account.

Yes, I think we should. I am a hoarder among people, if hoarding was a profession, I would be a demi-god!

Thanks for sharing!

They didnt want you using it as storage so no.

AngryNord

It can be abused by sending a full suit of armour to a brand New character - but then again, you can abuse that just as easilly by putting it in Your bank, or sending it to another player and have them send it back...

Moon-and-Star

I think we should be able to. would be a lot easier to move items between characters. I do something similar, if a friend is online I will send it to them and then just have them return to sender. It works though would be a lot easier if I could just send it to myself.

If they allowed this, everybody would just send all their crafting mats to themselves and never use the bank again, just open the mailbox when you need something... Then they'd add a cap to how much mail you could have at 1 time and people would complain about that. Let's stick to complaining about bank space.

No free storage use the bank to share Items between characters

+ Farming a boss and your inventory is full? Sending it with a mail to yourself will ruin the game gold balance even more than it is now because ppl will farm items and sell them this way without having to leave the placemost of the time.

The bank is shared between characters for a reason.

This is a yes/no question yet your poll you add more meaning to yes and to no then there should be and give a bunch of "other" options. Do you really expect to get anything useful out of this poll or did the idea of creating a poll just look cool to you?

Agreed. I think its strange we didnt have this functionality from launch?

no.. false way to create storage....

No, and this is a meaningless and unimportant poll in the overall scheme of things. In my (humble) opinion. No offence. There are more important things that need to be improved than this lower-priority issue in my opinion. I would like to see things like a) more inventory space; b) fix nightblade issues; c) fix templar issues; d) fix rollbacks; e) fix grouping so we can group with friends without getting phased out; f) fix vet level experience gains; g) fix rollback issues; h) allow players to play left handed so immersion folks don't quit; i) fix pvp campaign population imbalances; j) get rid of bots; and k) transfer European server to Europe so that European players don't quit, just to name a few issues that come to mind. This mailing to yourself issue can be fixed after that.

Hopefully Zenimax aren't wasting resources looking at this useless poll when they have more important things to focus on.

Nope.

If people want to use mail as storage make then jump through hoops for it.

Well for starters, I thought it would be cool, so you got me there!

It is not a science, and I decided on a lil humor or tried anyway.

But, anyway, what do you think, yes we should be able to send mail to ourselves, or no?

Well, thank you for your input! I do appreciate your participation. You have a lot on your mind! Thats a lot of stuff to fix.

You see, that impulse joke was for you man!!!

No... We have the bank for transferring items between alts. Why would we need to mail ourselves.

Blkadr

I rarely use mail, but would use it more often with the ability to send to self,

I would like to mail things to myself to avoid having to run to the bank to drop off the item and then take the next character to the bank to pick it up. I don't want to hang around a bank all day just to switch stuff back and forth.

Lalai

I believe we should; however, it should be regulated the same way as our banking and inventory,

Most people I know get around the not being able to send mail to yourself bit by sending it to someone and just having that someone bounce it back to them. So.. in a way, the people that really want this already have it, which means there's not a reason for the game not to include it as a feature at some point.

To my knowledge, there's not a current limit on how much mail you have. An unlimited number of space would negate the need for bank space, which would make upgrading bank and bags kinda pointless. So some sort of mail limit would need to be put in place just to make sure other features aren't being devalued to a huge degree.

Skeever pack versus storm-troopers, I believe the skeevers will win, and yes to sending mail to same account

I think if they put something like a 3 day time limit on stuff in your mail box with attachments, it would give players the ability to send mail to themselves without resorting to using the mail as permanent storage. After 3 days the mail could either be automatically deleted or automatically deposited into your bags if you have the bag space. I'm not sure an overflow should be allowed because that would defeat the purpose of preventing mail from being used for storage.

If there's an issue with the time limit, the 3 days could only apply to stuff you mail to yourself. And even that could be shortened to 24 hours.

Elder_Thorn

Skeever pack versus storm-troopers, I believe the storm-troopers are going to have skeevers for dinner, and no I think you should stop whining about it and just deal with it already! Akatosh!

you can use the bank to swap items arround bewteen characters. No need to give lots of inventory space for free.

Khenarthi

I believe we should; however, it should be regulated the same way as our banking and inventory,

I like the system the way it is, if you want more storage it exists as a gold sink.

On the other hand Zenimax could allow emailing things to the bank or another of our characters, but severe limits should be put in place, like a maximum of 3 to 5 emails to self. Otherwise people would exploit it for unlimited storage.

So while I'm not opposed to emails to self, I believe these should be restricted.

Zershar_Vemod

Yes, I think we should. I am a hoarder among people, if hoarding was a profession, I would be a demi-god!

OP,

You should change this to "Mail - Should We Be Able to Send Mail to Ourselves Once More?"

We were able to send mail to ourselves in Beta, but then it was taken away without warning.

Nope sorry no free storage space for you.

You know I got to give you +1 internets for trying. Your real issue and everyone else's is storage. Your asking for a exploit to game the system. What the real fix is 1.guilds the guild system is broken and causes 2 problems. Having to have 10 accounts to open storage and other functions. What is going on is 1 or 2 people get access and everyone else is locked out. This tactic causes mass amounts of player jumping form guild to guild and adds to the spam of the single chat channel for the zone. The fix is allow anyone to open a guild and buy/earn guild functions with gold or some sort of point system. Give the players something else to build and have a goal for.

Cripes - mail should be used for mail.

I think there should be tweaks to the inventory system - like free space for trophies, maps, disguises or maybe a bit more bank starter space. But mailing stuff to yourself thats just skeever corpses.

There is a reason we have an account wide bank.

Hamfast

I figure I talk to myself, why can't I send mail to myself too...

Lisa

Yes, I think we should. I am a hoarder among people, if hoarding was a profession, I would be a demi-god!

If it wasn't intended to be used for hoarding then why have the return to sender option at all? If I want to waste up to 20 gold to hold onto 6 items in one mail at a time, so what. Now, if they start charging the receiver to return to sender that would stink!

ErykGrimm

I dont understand the question,,,

Use your bank. /thread

Arsvita

Yes, I think we should. I am a hoarder among people, if hoarding was a profession, I would be a demi-god!

edit: Thanks to Blackwolfe5 I was able to remember that this was how I was able to pass items between my characters.

No need to mail between characters of an account, will change my choice to no.

sorry. Health issues are ravaging my mind and with the time away I totally forgot about the shared bank and that is how I passed items back and forth.

Thanks for the reminder that took some time to click in.
