Moogle mail - Issues (200 char limit!?!)

[Nuinn]

I respectfully disagree :3 . If you're reading the quest dialogue then you're easily reading more than 200 characters in game already, it seems an arbitrary and illogical limit..

You'd think so but, I like reading quest dialogue but dislike long emails for example. Love reading books, but LOATHE long sms messages that people send to my phone. Sometimes love long forum posts, sometimes can't be bothered to read. And so on and so forth.... I don't know what's up with that, or whether I need any logical explanation. It just is what it is /shrug

On a side note, I have seen a level 1 character at the mog mail box in gridania for weeks on end. He literally stands there with the mail targeted, every once in a while he's gone but not for long long. I'm talking hours on end, every time I go by... and he's still level 1. His name is not something like asedfasdf but it's also not a very legit looking name either. It bugs me that I don't know what he's doing, because what in this game would require being at the mailbox for hours? All marketing is done via retainers. Someone help me understand!?!

Could be a RMT char collecting gil/mats/whatever from other RMT chars that's on their friendslist(?) Like.... a RMT bank? o.O;;;

This 200 character limit is SERIOUSLY maddening! I often have friends send me a letter asking me questions about things in the game that require some writing room to properly reply to them with the information that they need. This horrible 200 character limit makes this impossible! Why hinder a player helping out another player in this way? Why dose Square Enix insist on punishing its players like this? Why can't this be reset from 200 to at least 400 characters to make this a more positive gaming experience rather then a horribly aggravating one? After so many bad experiences with a game rather they are big or small, people WILL leave & NEVER come back!
