Congratulations on shooting yourselves in the foot. This was the only viable way for players to get endgame enchants and artifacts without paying a small fortune to do so. Deleted my characters so that I won't ever be tempted to spend a dime with your horrible company again.
When 95% of those communications are spam, and the rest scrolls by too quickly to see, communication is already effectively cut off. However, further thinking on this, separate out zone chat for protector's enclave and zone chat for other zones in the channel toggles. Default it to OFF for Protector's Enclave, and ON for…
Another related suggestion. make all the zonewide chats off by default for new players until they turn them on manually. Less of an audience, less people getting suckered by these guys.
You need all three together to be effective. You'll never catch 100% without false positives, but you can make life hell for them. The fact that more hasn't already been done months ago shows that they either never log in to see what's going on, don't care, are content to completely rely on player reports to catch them, or…
I've only briefly played the PvP content - the level of imbalance there was so frustrating that it was not an experience I was eager to repeat. However, I do have some observations.

How to make bans effective in a F2P game and start winning the war on spambots Cryptic seems to be fighting a losing battle with spambots. Even when they are banned, they come right back with a new account in seconds. Here's how this can be stopped.* During the initial download/installation, the patcher should perform a…
Prefix "main story" quests with (Storyline) in the questgiver dialog and journal, and do not suppress the quest available icons on the hud/map for these quests. It sometimes happens that a player outlevels the content of a zone, and in such cases, it would be nice to know which quests are necessary for advancing the…
Blizzard was pretty good about responding within the day when I played. CCP manages to respond to tickets within hours in most cases (and prioritizes based on severity/impact), I've had responses within the day from Turbine as well. Typically F2P games put customers that have spent money to the front of the line for…
