It’s just to easy to gain access to shout chat right now, after being banned it takes less then 5 minutes to log back in the game get to a town and buy megaphones and start spamming again.
If you put a restriction of atless level 50 (or hell 100 if needs be) you atless lock out spammers from the all chat for a time when they are banned.
I would agree with you @Rennie245 but alas there is this issue…people seek out help and questions and refuse to use websites to find those solutions so they use shoutbox for that, I do however think J2 or J3 should be the restriction as it atleast means they have to progress to some degree before being able to purchase and or use the item of mention.
Another solution is just to 75 character limit the item so that they can only say so much or maybe even a 45 character limit…
All in all though there is no good way to handle bot spammers like this in this kind of game. If we could personally disable the shoutbox that would be ideal, obviously you would not want it auto activated as no one would turn it on in general as they would be unaware of it, correct me if I am wrong on that though…
My solution is this get more GMs to handle shoutbox’s or disable it until you can find a solid solution to atleast cut them down to some degree other wise the economy will turn to rubbish before a solution is made.
I understand there is no perfect solution , when it comes to RMT the closest you can come to winning it slowing it down.
What baffles me is all the incredibly severe restriction the game as in order to slow down silver trading but it as zero restriction to slow down silver sellers to advertise there websites which is really the most important step in slowing down silver selling.
You can trow a million sticks in their legs, gold sellers will always find a way to trade gold for money but they can’t do anything if people don’t know their websites even exists.
Yea + 1 to level restriction to megaphones asap. How this was overlooked in development is beyond me.
Because in Korea you create accounts with your KSSN, which dissuades gold sellers in a way that our international system does not and this is a copy & paste of Ktos.
