So im mailing one 5% gem to each of my alts and this message comes up that i have reached the in game cap of unique mail recipients ? Why is this crap in the game ? Blizzard you guys are so fixated on punishing that half the crap you come up with ruins the game for 99% just to stop 1% .

The cap has been here longer than I’ve been playing WoW or Blizzard games in general.
I think your alts have to open the mail and delete it before you can send more.

Wait, so opening mail on your alts so you can clear the obvious back log of mails you never bothered to check is some how ruining the game for you?!?

I mean, it sounds like an easy enough fix? Also how many alts are you sending gems to that you’re getting that cap?
Some measures need to be in the game because of people who like to try and get your account information by mailing you offers or trying to get gold from you by sending you a sack of flour and putting a gold price to it (That happened to me in BC). This isn’t remotely a huge deal.
It’s to limit spammers sending mass in-game mailings; it’s been there for some time now.
Very easy fix. Open your mail. Its not meant to be another bank. Make a bank alt if thats what you want.

Hey keeping things in the mail like that contributes to server wide lag.
Could you please stop doing that.

The limit is something like 20 mails.l (per… Hour? Not sure the time frame).
Also most of ya’ll are misinterpreting what the OP is saying. Its not a matter of mailbox backlog. You’re prevented from sending mail to more than ~20 people in x time frame.
It’s an anti spam thing. It’s a good thing.
Unofficial Postmaster Stéampunk for the Gnomeregan Postal Service steps up onto a box so she can reach the microphone on the podium…tapping the microphone…tap,tap,tap “Is this thing on?” After clearing here throat she begins reading from the teleprompter.
“Since war broke out most of our Gnomes we’re have been recalled back into service. Unique Items such as gear, rare gems, and pets take a minimum of four highly trained personal to escort to and from various places in Azeroth including exotic places such as Outlands and Draenor”.
The high influx of items, unique or standard since the most recent ongoing battle in Darkshore has become taxing on the limited personal and resources available here at Gnomeregan Postal Service so there for we were forced to impose restrictions on a mailing specialized items".
“We hope this will be temporary. We are attempting refill our ranks here at Gnomeregan Postal Service so that we can return to normal operations. Until then we ask for your patience and understanding.”
Thank you citizens of Azeroth
She quicky steps down from her box and and hurriedly heads exit to avoid the onslaught of questions directed at her by various news reporting agencies demanding to know more.

You sure you don’t have like 2000 unopened mails on other alts? Go open some mail, see if it clears up.
I literally do WAY more than that in this “scrap meta” - way, way more. i’m constantly making thousands of items to mail to alts to scrap for expulsoms.
Sort of a weird necro but ok.
Asmongold better clear his mailbox. just sayin
