Gil sellers are Getting Out of hand...

[Myrthele]

Until they settle down a bit try this:

- Click on the + sign below chat, make a new chat tab
- Then click the gear symbol to open up the options menu, choose the new tab
- Add everything to it that "general" has without /sh chat

Unfortunately, you won't be able to see real shouts but it will at least filter out the madness. On our server I am able to keep this tab up in cities, and switch back to general when I'm out in the world. Been working pretty well for the time being. Still get the occasional whisper.

What really worries me...is that after blocking 13 or so of them in Uldah last night...i left to go fishing...came back...and one of them was still able to get through.

i went to block a guy who was spamming...but he was already on my block list! (yes, i checked spelling. it was correct)
It only happened once...but it worries me.

They just need to add the ability to right click a gold spammer name and click a "Report Spammer" button which not only sends the report to the GMs but also adds name to blacklist. As it stands, opening up the blacklist and typing out their entire unreadable "Frgeubf Hpkijdn" name is incredibly annoying.

Theyre never going to go away though. If their main method of getting gold is hacked accounts then how would they slow down when subs start? Only way to stop it is to either stop players from buying, or stop them from getting hacked. Unfortunately, you can't fix stupid.

oh look, another SPAM thread in the forum SPAMMING more whining about gil sellers

you are just as bad as them making new threads about it every hour

Ctrl+x then ctrl+v work best in pc, I feel for the people on ps3 though

The filter tab idea is what my server is doing, every just uses the /yell in town now, although sometimes they spam that too.

Even better, like other MMOs have already done is to just have the option of right clicking name in chat and have a feature "Report as Spam", that automatically blacklists that person and creates a report to Support!
This would be the best solution IMHO! As now you have to og through the entire support system to Write a report and just takes too much time. And With the horrible increase of amount of spammers... I am soon just gonna stop Reporting them, as it just takes too much time.

Seriously irritating!

This x 100000

I cant even go to Gridania without CONSTANT Goldseller spam going on this seriously needs to be adressed.... If we are gonna be PaYing for this game and all.

I get a reply from reporting someone and it says something along the lines of "since so many people have reported this player we can't send a personalized response." If you have recognized that player has been spamming so many people about buying gil...why is that same "player" still spamming hours later?

Also, would be fantastic to report something by clicking their name in chat and the offending message itself is reported.

kk, now they're speed spamming, making it hard to lock in onto their names to Blacklist or report. And it's names like Dtj Grfkdo. Ul'dah on Exodus server is ridiculous now.
