mr. knowitall 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Yes & No but let me explain why i am saying both. There are 2 methods of which you can prevent it being that the server creates an API that addon makers such as i would be able to use to auto-delete mails while hiding their existence from you all along but that will not occur for the three below mentioned reasons. Spoiler 1. Developers able to safely tinker with 1.12.1 API's without breaking stuff like stances or such in the process are too few and rare i only know of 2 developers from different projects like this and even they will not often do so. Elysium lost a lot of good ones none of which had such skill tho but for now i doubt they have any with the skill but more like fresh students or people with 3-5 years database experience or jobs. i will also not state the name of the 2 servers with these devs as i am not here to advertise anything. 2. API for mail could be used by the addon maker to simply redirect some loot mailed to you to them without you knowing it kinda like a bot although it would be found out rather early. Aside from all that you could make an API from what exists to simply "hide" the bad mails based on an algorithm that only friend/guild listed may appear on it or that certain words however it has a downside by simply stacking up then depending on what the server set as maximum for mails strsseing the server more for each one using it and when you finally reach the cap you will suddenly not recieve your mails and nothing can be seen as the goldseller ones are hidden. Oh and one last method exists by having the server itself filter mails based on certain content but that could backfire removing mails with content due to it having words listed in the custom filter but seing how they still have yet to do so for their own website heck they had not even reserved the name "elysium" for usernames... i doubt they have enough resource to do so for in-game mail content. in conclusion "no" would be the best answer i can give you unless you either make the addon that slowly stockpiles by hiding stuff or hope they make an API to control mails at the risk of some scam addons being made. Keep in mind goldsellers change their wording and sentences all the time to avoid as much filter as they can. "Yes" would be a maybe as it depends on the future and if they can recruit enough but there is still too much else with higher priority. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
