6 Spamming on chat
You will be able to reset the chat and get rid of spamming of messages in chat by restarting your client. Please let us know if the problems persists after restarting the client. We are looking at ways to reduce spam and will make an announcement when it is implemented.
This is absolutely not a solution at all, since it won’t stop any further spam that occurs after you restart.
Blocking players should delete their messages from the log as well as the ticker at the top. Yes, you can disable the ticker entirely, but then you don’t get real messages anymore.
Sadly, there’s no way to disable all chat, and even if you hide the chat window or display only whispers, the megaphone spam in the Shout channel will still lag your game horribly, so this is even worse than manually blocking them all as they come (which still lags your game the first time no matter what).
If there’s still no limit on megaphone use after the next patch, I’ll be very disappointed in IMC and the game. Seriously, a 200 character limit and 5 minute cooldown on megaphones should have been implemented immediately, even if it’s only a temporary measure until the bots can be taken care of some other way.
