Backlog of Hireling mail forced into Inventory & Disconnections due to "Server Spam".

VaxtinTheWolf · September 2021

I don't have a lot of inventory space to deal with the Rewards of the Worthy we got last month so I was avoiding it, I really depend on the ESO+ TRIALS that should happen after large events to keep my inventory spacious and the game itself playable. I finally decided to sacrifice one character I wasn't currently playing to clear out some mail but when I did, the massive backlog of hireling mail that was filtered in forced its way into my inventory whenever I opened the Mail UI, without being manually accepted. The video just shows a little bit of the issue being dealt with but I eventually figured out that waiting 5 or more minutes between checking my mail kept the server from booting me, so this process of clearing out it all out took me a little over an hour to sort out.

I checked minion got the changelog on that addon, and it id indeed a somewhat recent feature. I keep them all updated maybe weekly but don't really go through them individually to see those adjustments or additions. I will certainly be turning that off, and I'm not sure why that'd be wanted by default. I share a guild with them so if I notice them I may mention this as well.

Thanks for clarifying here @colossalvoids. Much appreciated!

I personally love the new change. But, the Writ Crafter addon team probably should have done a better job of announcing and highlighting this change as many people might not like their mail being automagically looted into their inventory. Also, for something like this off by default would have probably been the best place to start. Like I said I love this option and it will encourage me to have hirelings on more alts, but I think many people, if not most people, do not like new unannounced stealth automations.

Ahh hell, now my agent orange is acting up and my tin foil hat is getting tight...could someone create a change in an addon that would auto forward hireling mail or pull stuff from a persons bank and send as mail?

Yeah that's pretty strange one to be on default, half the times I was booted for "spamming" because of that so looking forward at least for ability to adjust the speeds how it claims the mail. Or a specific button for a claim/delete all would be a godsent (aedrasent?) here.
