Spamming my mail in game with Blacksmith hammers, how do I get this to stop?

A level 10 character has been flooding my inbox in game with Blacksmith hammers.

I have no idea who this person is, why I’m being targeted by them, or what I can do about it, as when I ignore them, it just fills up my inbox with “blank” mail. If I report them, nothing happens.

What am I supposed to do about this? It’s every single day.

Its against forum rules to name drop. Take this up with in-game customer support. Or drop the name and put it in the actual cs forum. General is for players to talk to other players.

I’ll just ask here, as I am talking to other players to ask what I can do about this, as someone likely has encountered a similar issue.

Remove the character name from this post.

There is a report button on your mail window. Use it. And add the person to your ignore list so they stop sending mail.

You can also file an ongoing harassment ticket.

I removed the name, but I have reported it over ten times now, nothing has happened. When I put them on ignore, the mail still comes through and clogs my inbox, it just doesn’t show them to me.

You were given advice to go to the Customer Support Forum because that is where you will get help from blue posts

You can go to customer support for help

Then I suggest asking the CS forum for the best ticket path for this situation.

Would that just be the “General Support” forum, or should I submit it as a bug?

This forum:

Ask them for the best ticket path. Let them know you’ve placed them on ignore and reported the mails, but it’s still causing an issue for your mailbox and you need to file a ticket.

Okay, will do, thank you. I rarely use the forums so I appreciate the help.

That’s a reportable offense.

I’ll never forget when my brother, last played with me in MoP, sent a bunch of gift-wrapped boxes with blacksmith hammers inside, and they were sent to random folks with “Cash on Delivery” so they had to pay gold to look inside the boxes. :joy:

They were not happy with their ‘gifts’.

He got a 72-hour suspension, lmao.

People sometimes do this as a prank and also do this to stop you from being able to xfer from one place to another.

I am, but my inbox just gets filled up again while I’m away doing anything, preventing me from getting mail.

Na. People been doing stuff like this for years. It happened to a guildmate of mine a while back as soon as he said he was going to move off the server. Then the person sending the stuff claimed their name on the realm they were wanting to move to. So… either it is a prank to get you to do what you are doing now…or it is someone trying to stop you from xfering your toon. Report the mail. Every single piece of it.

in 20 years of playing this game, I’ve never come across anything like this lol
