Mail gold spam preventable from day one!

I'm fed up with logging into the game with a mail box full of gold spam.

Why didn't you make it so no one can send you mail unless they're on your friends list? I mean come on this is common sense.

    That's stupid and trust me it's not common sense this is the first time in my many years of playing MMO have a ever heard of a mail system to be done by whose on your on your friend list, so we can see that it's not common sense, this will never work and will again hurt legit players.


    What if with so many posters on this forums that wish to hurt legit players in this game? The amount of ideas people have that is just plain stupid is scary.

    I think you shouldn't be able to email straight from level 3, maybe 10 is a good minimal value

    For info - that's an addon on esoui.com which deletes all mails from people on your friend list or guild. This couldn't be the default game mode, as this isn't how MMO players use mail.

    Every time I get one of those in-game mails I check the rosters of the guilds I'm in. You would be surprised how many are actually sent from inside the guilds (compared to ones from outside) you belong to especially if you belong to a guild that is solely based on being mercantile guild.

    Agreed, @Dunhilda. Well said. Legit players are already being hurt. Just look at the banking exploit and how it was resolved.

    OP, you log into spam every day? Here's a solution. Press "X".

    Meanwhile, I'll go and spend an hour withdrawing, re-stacking, and depositing things in my guild bank because cheaters felt they could make a quick buck.

    Well that seems like it's the opposite of useful. Why would I want to delete all mails from people on my friends list or guild? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

    Works perfectly well in FFXIV. Just because you've never heard of it or used the feature doesn't mean it does not exist or is a great idea. It does exist and it works fantastic.

    If you're not reporting those mails then you're part of the problem.

    I commonly send small items to people who want them in trade (Some guy wanted to buy plump worms, I just sent him some to get them out of my inventory, for example.) So I'd hate to have to friends request them, just for them to not know who I am, just to deny it so I couldn't give out my small tokens of kindness in hopes they'll pass it on one day.

    Dumb idea.
