We should be able to have a mail snipe. He carries a mail bag and wears a hat. You should be able to have that animation for fun. When you mail someone, the snipe gets the mail, and flies. If you are right beside, the snipe would just fly up to the player and give the mail. He wears a mailman hat. So, why not?

If a bunch of users send mail, the user who is getting the mail from everybody will have a snipe with a packed bag and he would give you a huge chunk. This is only a animation that I'm asking for

Honk honk. Make way for the dead bunny.

Juances or somebody had the same suggestion before.

For reference from that

For reference from that thread:

Adisond(OP): "When I first heard the word "snipedgeons" I assumed it also meant that the snipes were delivering my mail now. They aren't. This is an atrocity. It would be easy to make the same landing/taking off animations cause snipes to run down and take your mail, as well as give you mail.

They'd have little envelopes for pure text mail, and various colors of boxes (like prize boxes, but with notes tucked into the top if there were text included) depending on the contents (e.g. gold for crowns, blue for CE and silver for items). The snipe would fly down to you, hover, and drop the item, at which point you would receive the mail. The snipes would have caps indicating their source, mail from a player would be delivered by a snipe wearing a yellow hat, an AH snipe would have a little red cap telling you so, and if it were from spiral HQ it would be blue. If you were to be offline at the time you received the mail, a snipe would be sitting in the ready room on log-in to give you the mail. Only one snipe per person would come on screen at once if you were in the clockworks/PvP, though you would receive all mail from all the sources who had recently sent you mail when said snipe dropped you mail. The stranger who currently explains snipes would explain how the UPS works.

Unrelated: OOO, you really need to give us a log of outgoing mail.

Not all these ideas are mine, many were suggested by others in this forum."

That'd be adorable ^.^

This is too cute to ignore, but I feel other things need immediate attention xD

We can't necro it

So I guess I can add more details to this

what's stopping you from necroing? :3

Also, I like how everyone is paying more immediate attention to this thread than mine. IDK what I was doing wrong when I was making threads, because people were never interested. :c

I'll pass on the argument, but thanks for the offer ;)

Was just observing that my threads generally got ignored, no hard feelings or anything. I'm happy to see my idea getting some more attention (...or did you think this up on your own? I'm a bit confuzzed). If you want to take any of the in-depth ideas from my thread, feel free.
