An ETA for the ingame mail features?

Like the chat channels, the ingame mail has become the realm of the chinese farmers and therefore made unusable by the regular players.
An ETA on
- a toggle to select who is allowed to mail you (guild/friendlist) ?
- a select/remove/report button to erase a mail without enduring the added pain to actually read it?

This is a win-win deal, devs. Implement those features, and we players don't flee to teso/pae, you devs have less spamreport requests to handle.

    I get maybe one spam mail per week, that really isn't something to rage about. Are you getting more than that?

    In the social options you can make it so you are only visible to your friends list , that prevents farmers being able to see you in a search so they don't mail you , that's one way to deal with gold farmers until the developers come up with something more substantial .

    There's a button right underneath your mail to report spam, which blocks the sender, deletes the mail and sends a report all in one button. You don't actually have to read the mail. It's pretty obvious when one comes from a gold seller.

    And yeah, I'm not sure why your mail is "unusable". I get one or two a week, maybe. Not sure why your mailbox is getting flooded.

    The acceptable answer should be ZERO spam in-game mails. This is the first game I've heard of with that problem. Didn't other game companies already find a solution to it?

    I mean, spam on SWTOR is almost nonexistent, and they're a LOT bigger than you guys. They've been at it for a while now. There only seems to be one company left that even attempts to spam, and - coincidentally enough - it appears that company is run by one of the largest PvP guilds in that game.

    I've also noticed that it's just two specific companies spamming here too. Do they have a large PvP guild here like SWTOR's sole problem spammer does? If so, maybe the spam problem isn't a problem. Maybe it's a feature. -bp

    In EVE Online IIRC there was an interesting feature: everyone in your friends list, corporation and alliance could send you mail freely.

    For everyone else, you could set an amount of money (fee) required to send you a mail. It was usually a trivial value to anyone who would send you a mail for some important reason, but it wasn't feasible for mass spamming.That would be nice to have! :D

    Honestly SWTOR seems deader than NW to me. The lack of spammers to me always indicates a dead or dying game because there isn't enough of a population for the spammers to make a profit. If they can't make a profit it's a pretty good indication that the population is tiny to me. If the game is popular a couple mails a week and chat spam is very acceptable and unavoidable.

    lol wut? The only reason you'd get THAT much spam is if you've done business with them before.
