That's you, though. There are some crazy stalkers on this game who roll alts just to harass people. I don't think a lot of female players here would like a "i think you would look sexy in this" email 10X a day from a guy they've never met IRL whom they think is a freaking tool in game and are seriously afraid he's going to go all Zaboo on them one day and just show up at their house, demanding loving because he feels he's got a right after all the gifts he's given her. I wholly support a "return to sender" button .
If we hadn't all read the horror stories on various boards (here, when they had server forums), the "other" eq2 forum whos name shall not be written, foh boards, some blogs, etc. we wouldn't think it was a possibility.
Heck, I used to know a guy who bought up all the warden masters back during the DoF days on Kithicor because he had a theory that more wardens were female than male, and this was a way for him to get a tell from some of them. They'd send him tells to negotiate for the price... He also had a pit trap in his inn room where when you came in you *had* to climb stairs to get into the main area and there was a carpet that looked great, but you fell through if there was nothing under it... so you're stuck in this little oubliette and not everyone knows about /house so what do you do? you call out? it's on a 60 minute timer, and you just used your call to go to this house to buy a master on the cheap for 3p50g and no broker fees, a crapload of money, but it could be worse. you could have paid the extra 40% ON IT... there's no call to guild hall yet because they don't exist, and you haven't finished "Becoming a Maj'Dul Citizen" yet and you're not one of the classes (there were no racials that included evac back then) that can... so you send a tell to the guy.
nice, huh?”

This was exactly my first thought (probably because I'm a female gamer) when I heard about gifting. I was nodding along to your statement and when I got to the "Zaboo" part I nearly shot coffee all over my monitor. Thanks for giving me a great laugh today.
And yes, if for no other reason, the "reject" button needs to be put into place because of this. There also needs to be either a "reject all from this player" or, better yet, a "reject all from this IP address" option.
