Gold spammers - IT'S TIME TO FIX THEM

[Wulfyn]

@Boi how about you be a man instead of a boi (actually try spelling it correctly) and stop trolling. Your replies are negative to finding any solutions. With your attitude I would say you are part of the problem in this game. Maybe you bot yourself or buy gil? Feeling guilty?

There a few examples of games which doesn't have bots in it, and like I've said, bots it's clearly a fail of the system.

It may take seconds to block them, but you realize how many of them are being created as we speak? (a hint, it's more than your blocklist can tell.)

What I'm trying to saying here is... This game would be far different if we were experienced it without bots.

And conformity as well doesn't solve the problem.

We could sit here and debate what is the best solution, but if we have time for this, why not use it wisely?

I've understand that most of us are here praying for a god to do a miracle, but it's been one year since these prayers are not being heard. Only by wish a great deed cannot be fulfilled.

Boi777: in fact, I posted several ideas in other threads. I didn't suggest disabling character creation.
Check a few of my ideas there:

Most of them won't break the game, like your "stop character creation" idea. At least, won't make it more broken than it already is.
Most of them don't need extra staff (which means $$$, even though SE should be able to pay for it).
Most ideas are just technical solutions that would make it harder for spammers, without being inconvenient to players, because behaviors of players and bots are completely different.
And no, not every MMO has rampant spam like this.
So... instead of trolling the forum, do something useful and either bring some ideas or discuss the ones that were presented. Either that, or STFU. We are already harassed enough in-game, don't need to be trolled here as well.
