Gold Spammers have taken over shout chat. They go on all day without being banned. This is simply unacceptable.
Other solutions:
-Give us a squelch option.
-Censor any messages with offending sites (like MMOTANK.com or HOAGOLD.com), like is done with curse words. Do the whole message, like when we get censored during a whisper.
In any case. IMC’s reaction on this has so far been nothing short of pathetic. It is killing my experience and I am not the only one.
Shoudn’t there be an appointment of moderators for this kinds of things? With power over chat privileges for people like those?
Whatever the case its retarded how many messages are coming over all day. Been 3 days and chat is already taken over. I wonder if its because its new that it looks so bad, or because its not an old game where control is a little better.
You can already block them.
The censor list is available in the game files as a TSV. Feel free to add the sites.
Block doesn’t seem to do anything. I think it just stops whispers.
But thanks for the info on the censor list. But it won’t actually fix the spamming issue.

Started playing today - All i see are messages from Gold Selling bots.
Makes it difficult to chat with other players. (Not familiar with the chat functions yet)
Blocklist works for me, but the chat has a tendancy to scroll back up for no particular reason, which can make it seem like you’re seeing new spam.
Could be that.

Block a message doesn’t help, right now it already out of control being the fact that it pay to play atm. Once it free to play, you will see so much more and blocking a message will just be pointless.
A report button on the other hand, is a bit of a trouble to use, as there will be additional step to report a player. This report feature can be useful for reporting spammer (silver seller), bot, and many other concern.
Not going to happen , because the devs dont care about this game once so ever, its dolla time. In saying that I intend to insult them In every way imaginable , because they killed this game before it has even begun.
I feel you bro. This game now is like a scam, they are trying to grab as much money as possible and then kills the whole game.
if they would make you have to be level 15 or something like that to use the shout there wouldnt be any gold spam … the only reason they can do that at all is because they keep making level 1 characters to spam with till they are blocked and then make new ones deleting the old one … if they have to put any actual effort in even a little they will slow down the process so thats what i think
I already have 35 spam bots in my block list, it’s almost full. do something, need someone to ban these things, at least ban from global chat.
Yes, please add a level requirement to use megaphones. I don’t think anyone would bother if they have level 25-30 requirement, not like you need to shout a lot early on.
Also add a timer to chat to prevent repeating messages. For example at level 1 you can chat once every 10 seconds, reduced to once every 1 seconds at level 15.
And just appoint a GM to issue ban hammer to every gold advertisement, ban they so often that they lose money buying packs and get nothing in return.
This!
Plus they should limit the characters on shouts. Almost every mmo I’ve played you can only have “x” amount of characters you can type out.
Hell, I think it’s 40chars in Dragon Nest
that a great idea, I think the level requirement is great to prevent gold seller… but then again… lol they can just go lvl and then spam.
That’s true, but when GM bans them, it would be much longer until they can spam again. Not like they can just afk botting to level 30 here, too slow
They make me crazy with their spam…
I hope by next Monday they do something about this…
IMC needs to add a 1 minute Cooldown to the shout feature! It’s stupid…
