Return to Sender
By Koogie on Sep.22, 2008 in WAR
The mail system is horrid. Mythic really needs to spend some time playing WoW (with the postal addon) to understand what a truly terrible job they have done on this feature. The overall interaction is painfully slow but here are some more specific gripes;
- A 20 second forced delay between sending mail is great to prevent spammers, but when you are mailing between characters on the same account or in the same guild? cmon.
- Only one item attached per mail means that you are forced to send multiple mails to send multiple items…each with a 20 second delay. Given how many items must be sent between characters to even attempt any crafting (I’ll get to this another time) it gets annoying in a hurry.
- No auto-complete for the recipient field for names in your guild or friends. Additionally having the field simply remain populated with the previous recipients name would be peachy.
- The selected mail shifts around in the list. You have a list of mail in your inbox, you open one and remove the attachment, click delete. The mail window behind has selected a different, likely unread message and attempts to delete that one. Thankfuly there is a warning dialog when attempting to delete unread mail. This may simply be a bug, on top of everything else it just adds more hurt.
