24 hours is plenty of time to retrieve your items.. but what if you forget or a problem shows up and you cannot retrieve your items in time?

 

There are quite a few people who have problems with the internet connection which can be annoying if you can't get your items in time. Also there are a few people who can forget things very easily....

These are just a few examples i came up with but i forget things easily which can be annoying.

 

 

What if we could pay a fee or put the auction items in some kind of Auction house slots which can hold up to a number of 10 or more items if we forgot or a problem occured when the items went to mailbox and the time expired? 

 

Please comment what you think of this and other solutions to this problem

Sorry to throw cold water on this but I don't see it as a problem.  You already have a box that tells you that you have items in the mailbox, ignore it at your own peril.  I can't begin to tell you how many items I've lost to the mailbox 24 expiration time limit but it can always be laid at my doorstep for not paying attention. In those cases where it was because of HCS downtime a ticket has always gotten those items replaced. At some point personal responsibility has to come into play, there are more pressing needs that need solving in this game than "handholding" of our items because we are forgetful.

plus, extending mailbox is just a way around not buying extra BP slots ..

If the price is right I don't see a problem with this as long as it is counted toward your max number of auction slots.  Charge 35 dots for each slot, which is 15 for a pack slot plus 20 for an auction slot and just go to town.

Auction backpacks yes! You should have 3 or more Auction backpacks and pay 10+fsp's for extra slots which can be upgraded to 100 like the auction house upgrades. This can only be used to retrieve items from your auction backpack but not store items in it.

 

Rocknoor and Pardoux it might not be a big problem for you two but im thinking of all kinds of people. As i said.. some might have internet problems once in a while and some might forget things easily and alot more. It's not like BP at all Pardoux because it is used to keep the mailbox items safe from vanishing.

 

There are so many things that can prevent you from getting your items back in time and that's why i would like to have a better solution to this rather than 24 hours before you don't see your items any longer.

 

I don't understand why we should not change the way Mailbox works!

Hi there.

We're not changing the mailbox because it really is more than enough. Any longer and not only will it NOT fix the problem, it'll result in even more abuse as Pardoux pointed out.

For those who DO lose things due to a loss of power, or occasionally forgetting, we really have no problem replacing items. Just don't take the mickey.

Pardoux said it would be like BP which is not like what i meant.

Let me describe my ideas which i don't think can be abused. Please reply if you have an idea of how this can be abused 

 

 

Auction House Backpack:

-1 Auction House Backpack for each Auction House Slot or pay for each slot until 100 is reached.

-Cannot store items in Auction House Backpack.

-Item stays in the Auction House Backpack until the item is retrieved by the owner.

 

Other alternatives:

-Fills your backpack with auctions items before filling Mailbox.

So basically you want a new, free upgrade to take away from the mailbox. Afraid not.

Sorry, the Mailbox is fine as it is. It really does not need any kinda fixing.
