System Mails, Spamming & Venting

Actually you have 3 different places for notifications which is serious overkill if you think about it. 
1. The Notification Box which is permanent
2. The ones in the mail.
3. There is a purple tab that shows up over your Inbox Envelope Icon.  That takes you to notifications as well. 

There are 2 things I think would be amazing if they could do.  I know our Dev team if almost God like and can do just about anything, I don't know anything about programming so I don't know if this would be possible, but if they could do one of the 2 below that would be amazing I think:

1. If you leave the Notification Screen but have a link you can click on to read the report if you choose to, then those that want the reports to look at 1st hand could still have it.  Those that are tired of the reports could ignore it easier that way.

2. Filter put on the mail section and actually put those areas into storage for those types of reports.  People could easily go in and clean those out without it muddling up the inbox and making it hard to find items. 

Now I would really like to be able to have a area in the Inbox to save mail I want to save and delete all the rest in one click of a button.  Right now it is frustrating when your trying to clean out your inbox and end up clicking and deleting a mail you wanted to keep.  Those are just my thoughts.  I would still like the forward to work.  The extra work in forwarding a mail so people can see all parties involved is frustrating.

Thank you Luna for the apology.  I will remove that part of the post since it doesn't belong here and people can post their thoughts on the mail system.

 ^ +1 totally agree with Beriadanwen. ^

I didn't mind the April 1st *snuggle* joke thing - I thought it was kinda amusing, even tried it myself one time. (Actually I thought it was pretty much the ONLY time I've ever seen the word *snuggle* on GC in an amusing context.)

And to be honest I have GC turned off most of the time these days anyways - we already know that better chat systems are coming and SC/TC have already been the first to admit that GC just gets a bit too clogged up now Illy has grown. Frankly I don't think the joke really caused any problem that wasn't already there.

And regarding the main points from your post LL - you have my total 100% support.

The in-game mail system - when I click on the link I always just click on the 'player' tab immediately afterwards - the only other tab I ever use is the 'military' one to check combat reports, and obviously I don't get new combat reports every day (since I no longer bother farming NPCs). All the other mail I get, sometimes hundreds of messages a day, go by totally ignored. I don't ever remember a time when my inbox did not have a green 99+ and a blue 99+ above it.

I have never ever needed to look at or use the notifications panel. I'd rather it wasn't there and I had more room for the chat panels.

And yes, making forwarding work and multiple recipient IGMs (that aren't to the entire alliance) would be greatly appreciated improvements for a relatively small amount of dev work.

Well said, LL.  On all points.
