Why is it so hard to report a gill seller? It should be: right click on the name, report it and they get taken out of the ability to chat with you. I should not have to block up my black list with a massive list for gill sellers. Why is this so broken? They knew Gill selling was an issue with XI come on. Please!! Plus so many players are so confused with how to get rid of them it is always being asked!! This is not how it should be.
Servers being full, I can understand to a point, making it hard to report these people, I hope is changed very soon. I have 15 black listed right now. I would like to just have this for people who bother me in game...not with spam. I know a lot of players are just telling people to black list them and not bother with how to report them because it is a pain to type out every few minutes.

I agree, there should be a report person bit like in guild wars 2.
in that they send mails to you, and then you can just click report for gold selling and then after a small while they are gone.
kind of breaks the game selling gold, and i will not start going on about the people who are made to farm for the gold sellers -

That does not change the fact that SE should greatly simplify reporting gold sellers for players ingame, instead of the current system. In all the MMOs I've played it was by right-clicking the gold sellers' names in the chat window, and picking reporting the gold sellers/spam option, then automatically adding those names on our blacklist. Most of the gold sellers have funky names on top of that, pretty hard to add the right names in the blacklist.

Improve the report system and give a "reward" for each succesful report could be nice.
-
09-10-2013, 07:40 PMHECYou dont't actually need to type the names manually. One trick / workaround is to highlight the spammer's name in the chat log, select tell and then change the /tell Spammer Name to /blist add "Spammer Name" and - it's done (don't forget to remove the space after the name added by the tell command). Before sending the /blist command you can also select and copy the name to paste it later on to Cheating or Harasment report. (mark with mouse or hodling shift and moving cursor, CTRL+C to copy, CTRL+V to paste)Quote:

The way I think they should deal with it is to just chat ban their accounts that way you can't spam shout say or yell that way SE gets their sub fee and they can't really talk >_>

09-11-2013, 12:49 AMHECWell - you still have 170 slots to go before the list gets full and then you can start delete it from the top hoping those account have been already banned and crashed ...Quote:

Even if it was as easy as clicking on a name that wouldn't be easy enough.
1) the spammers are so prolific all I see is a never ending scrolling wall of text, no names. I'd have to make my chat log bigger, just to see the spammer to report ><
2) On PS3 I don't even know how to bring up a cursor or "click"
3) I don't want to want to participate in negihbrohood watch, I want the police to do it
My black list is 10 X my friend list. I pay no attention to the spam box anymore. This does not make a good community :( -

I'm not really bothered about the reporting bit but having to memorize the name (which is almost impossible at times) before opening 2 menus, adding to blacklist..It's ridiculous. Total nightmare on the PS3.

Last night i started a new character on a new world and the chat was spammed instantly with a wall of non stop text. I had no idea it was possible or them to set up a macro that would keep shouting over and over. That should be fixed. It was impossible to stop it as none of the posters names were found on the character list. how is that possible? one of them showed up in the live chat later on and i was able to black list the monster but i HATE these abusers with a passion and hope they are banned forever eternity. And it is IMPOSSIBLE to highlight the chat to copy a name i tried over and over, nothing would work.. I reported the names but there were also websites and so these jerks are setting up virtual shops online to exploit the game. I wont post any of the names or websites in the bug report and i dont have four hours to wait to talk "live" via chat with support. Hope this gets fixed soon.
