Abusing the Trade feature to interrupt, etc

[Tupsi]

I'm not saying 24/7, I'm saying when you're doing something important. If setting yourself to /busy while you're doing something important is too much work for you, good luck being taken seriously.

/Busy blocks tells, btw. What if your friend is trying to chat with you and you're not in the same FC or Linkshells? Thus constantly using it blocks a communication channel as well and simply adding them to your linkshells and FC isn't always viable because sometimes you have multiple linkshhells for certain things (statics/hunts etc) and they can't freely join it.

The other side of this are the people with a "throw the bums in jail!" mentality. These people say it's the principle of the matter and that these trade spammers should be taught a lesson, but let's be honest here...these people just want to be vindictive. Most likely they were the target

Never happened to me. I just know SE doing nothing at all is how a lot of issue start cropping up in MMOs because whether one likes it or not, it does send the message it's ok to harass people.
