Can we have an in-game Chat Filter?

So we stop seeing these RMT ad's every 30 seconds.

They log in, spam their message, teleport under the map and then log out, Then repeat on another character 30 seconds later.

Please allow us to just block certain keywords in-game like .com or just moderate the damn game.

Of all the things available as add-ons that it would be super hecking cool for SE to see and adopt as a regular tool this is one of the absolute most cut and dry and I really don't understand why they haven't.

Obviously, they change their tactics so that the filters don't catch it. They don't even use proper words and they put spaces or instructions on what to google to get around the filters.

There's a third party spam filter that apparently does it very well, I can't imagine SE would be unable to put together something similar if they were so inclined.

Just pray to Dalmund and go "NoSoliciting" please. ;^)

There is a filter but it's pretty weak. Like using @ instead of A or ° instead of . Beats it. I don't think SE will ever do anything more about it, also third party filters are against ToS so don't ask, don't tell.

And third party addons aren't a realistic solution due to the console player base not having access to them. A better filter or even the dream of one you could add your own filters into would be ideal.

The thing about Chat filters are they are VERY LITERAL on what they block. You say "Venue" and they start using "venue" the next minute. You say "Cafe" and they start using "C@fe".

It's the most worthless band aid ever. There will always be work arounds.

well, for the rmt spam anyway since they're against TOS regardless, but SE could just, y'know, address the issue of the constant player spam while they're at it via actually moderating against it as well.

So, hire someone to sit on every world in every area where RMT spam is occurring and moderate it. You volunteering to pay the salaries?

Easy solution to the immediate problem. Right-click on name of spammer in chat window. Select "Report RMT". Click, click. Done.
