GOLD SPAMMERS

[Verrilee]

I'd be happy simply with an easier way to blist and report. Give us the option of right-click blist so I can add them to my list faster. When I go into Ul'dah, I have to zone back out to "freeze" the chat so I can add people. Otherwise it's a practice in frustration management trying to get the names in while the chat flies past.

A report function that sends the last x number of lines in your chat would help too. I /report you, a portion of my chat log is sent in with the report for verification purposes. That way /report can't easily be used to just mess with someone but it is fast and easy to report spammers.

I've been playing MMOs since UO came out, and I've never been in a game where the spam was this bad. They really need to get control of this or it is only going to get worse.

What is making the situation worse is that reporting them seems to do no good. I see spammers that I've reported days ago still spamming. Got one right now spamming to sell gil that I reported 2 hours ago.

I just don't think they're taking the problem seriously. Their response was, we've banned 518 accounts for spamming to sell gil. Well that's great, there's at least that many shouting right this second across the servers.

If I had a ban button and a server pass I could ban 500 in a day. Even when the shouters are reported multiple times it takes hours or days for them to disappear. If you can get hours or days of advertisement for 1 monthly fee or 1 hacked account it's well worth it. They'll never slow it down unless they can speed up the bannings.

I'm beginning to think SE is getting paid to allow them. Why else would so many sellers be allowed to ply their destructive trade upon a new / modern MMO?
I play a lot of MMO's and stopping gold sellers has always been a very high priority. Permanent ip bans for seller and buyer are common.
Not having a right click option to Blist on the names of the sellers is not just inconvenient, it's down right offensive to the paying clientele. It shows a blatant lack of respect to customers and a distinct lack of professionalism from the development team.
This issue needs to be bumped immediately to a dev tracker, and resolved

U know that makes sense they got all of us to pay for a pre release they could not even deliver they put a limit to login claiming it was a overload yet I been on overloaded servers on mmo they lag spike to the point u cant move and crash I never EVER experienced that even in beta and now consistent sells of gil without any angle to block... they probly are producing some income.

Gil sellers seriously have no shame in 14. I had no idea how bad it was because it took them a while to hit Hyperion (it was locked out of character creation for almost the entire first week). 5-10+ shouts a min (according to time stamps).

Level 2 minimum on yell, shout and tell.

/solved.

Kinda weird, because this game gets many more spam than all the other I tried, so I second the idea that we need an easier way to report them !

[LORD_Dreago]

I created this morning with few blocked sells people and now im heading to bed with over 20 on my black list and only 2 of the 20 has been deleted and now states deleted on the screen.
