Careful what you wish for OP. Yeah loot mail can get annoying sometimes, but what if one day you don't loot a mob that drops a rare mount or awesome xmog piece. Big oof.
No. No, they shouldn't. Not for things like this. What you're asking isn't "quality of life" by any means. There is no reason why any normal person would have dozens upon dozens of of mails in WoW with leftover loot.
You have a hoarding behavior, by your own admission. You're not asking for a "quality of life" change, you're asking Blizzard to enable your behavior, and that simply won't happen.
No, actually not. Blizzard designed the game so that nowadays most items you'd like to keep like appereances or toys are immediately made accountwide and in the case of toys removed from you're inventory at the same time, so that you don't have to carry useless stuff around.
This is just a case of creating a problem and then try to get developers to fix it.
The reason for the mail system is because the idea that players lose out on a really rare drop because of forgetting or missing to loot something is worse than having to deal with the mails.
I know when I have farmed stuff and I kill a huge area of mobs and thought I picked up everything I've lately seen things in my mail.
This is such a fringe case so I don't see how anyone could forsee this being a problem.
Though at the same time, I think in general developers should have some time allotted to just doing smaller stuff like this.
I think adding a "delete selected mails" would be reasonable to implement. Feels like that would be contained inside the mail function while I think the option to not mail loot might be a more deep-rooted system that would take more to implement and make sure it doesn't bug out other stuff.

Yes, you have like a solid 80 items in your inventory and bank that once obtained can be safely deleted as they have been added to your transmog collection, or can be bought from a vendor. Again all the Sha gems, useless, wasted bag space, you can buy them from a vendor if you somehow end up needing them. But collecting those is fine. Legendaries are cool and special. But the fact you do this with everything, even down to some of the most basic as fuck easy to get items like the alterac valley trinket which is just given to you for free. And is replaced by a toy? No, you are your own problem.

He still won't get rid of them, he has tons of items in his bags that are toys but he refuses to remove them.
having your attic full of sentimental value things, or even useless stuff is fine
complaining about having to sleep on doorstep to your house bcs your WHOLE HOUSE is full of useless shit is ABSOLUTELY NOT healthy, its unhealthy obsession, as mentioned before its hoarding, its mental issue caused by something and you should seek profesional help
and i say this as completionist and collector with quite extensive collection of vanity items i collected since march 2005 that are not part of toy (or other) tab in my bank/void storage, but old sets? really? why? like honestly give me one good reason to keep lets say t10 in your bank... you have the transmog tab exactly so you could get rid of useless shite like that...
and although it might be usefull to have toggle for "no mail", it would create faaar more problems than solve, and honestly, even if it took 5minutes to implement its a waste of developers time to help, well, you, and maybe 5 other people as i REALLY doubt more people stores as much useless shit...

Be a man, sell the useless crap, even if you think these items have nostalgic value.
I am personally hoarding plenty of trash(like Mor'ladin sword, legendaries, some grey random items from AV or the poisons(that are grey) or limited, funny items from quests that are unobtainable now etc.), but they're in my bank and I still have plenty of free space in my bags.
I am always trying to have a one bag free for t-mog farm.
Whaaaaat?
Didn't know about that! Thanks!
Anyway, nice new avatar, the last one looked like your char was holding a banana. Not complaining though, I liked it also!

couldn't you just create a character that's purely for mog farming? free of the emotional baggage from the character you're currently using. with a lot of bag space
No matter how relevant the post, I will stop reading after 'should of'.
how dare you suggest he himself try to solve problem he created instead of blaming devs?!
after all its a huge problem, it affects maybe even 5 people worldwide! screw the balance and bugs and new content, devs should look into things like this!
/s (just to be sure )

yeah there is one for alliance and horde, you can buy it off the vendor in the starting cave, it was added in the 15th aniversary when they had the classic alterac valley brawl thing.
also yeah, wanted to get some better stuff for channel stuff
Ever get the feeling that the OP is just trolling the MMO-C community and just raising counter-points that really don't hold any value? Because it seems to me that there are plenty of "solutions" offered but the OP just doesn't accept them because "reasons".
I don't think there's any "solutions" that the community can offer that the OP will accept.

Don't be a victim of IFOWISNAWL!
Call 800-Calm-The-F-Down, Operators are standing by. Now taking calls on all your Legion worries.
Then why not run a solo private server and just give yourself infinite inventory?
If youre not in it for the MMO part of the RPG, why are you still paying?

Yeah, he's pretty much saying the game needs to change to accomodate his playstyle instead of adjusting his playstyle to something sustainable by the game.
The equivalent of a speedrunner petitioning to remove janky obstacles from a game instead of learning to navigate them.
Like I said, this takes almost 30 minutes every week, that time adds up after a while, super annoying.

Soon 10 year member here with a few thousand post, not exactly a typical troll account now is it? I'm not trolling, I just get frustrated at a lot of things that have easy fixes.

I have the firm believe every single game can improve and should ALWAYS strive to improve. Adding an option to "Disable loot getting to mailbox" or allowing us to delete these mails without having to empty them, has NO downsides and is OBJECTIVELY an improvement.
