Gold spammers in general are out of control

Seriously, I'm having to put someone on ignore every 30-45 seconds.

Any plans in the works to fix this?

Thanks.

    Yep I usually never put anyone on ignore but my ignore page has probably two hundred names on it and growing daily.

    The spammers are using hacked accounts to spam their HAMSTER.

    What's sad is I can't send a legitimate mail to someone if they aren't on my friend's list because of the protocol they've used to block spammers since I'm not a high enough level to write a message on a piece of parchment and hand it to the courier apparently, yet we're all still getting spammed by gold sellers. :(

    You'd think a rogue with 20 something dexterity would be fully capable of writing a letter and handing it to somebody. But nope, I need to level up some more to do that...

    They did implement a plan. It seems they put an automated chat scanner/filter that looks for keywords, specifically the names of known gold spammers.

    I know this because I just got banned for venting my frustration at one of the spammers because I couldn't read the portal event trades being posted by players. I put something like, "STOP THENAMEOFTHESPAMMERSITE!!" ...and I got instantly banned. Now because of venting my frustration, I cant even participate in the event.

    Be very careful NOT to type the names of any gold spamming websites in the chat, just take a deep breath instead, its not worth the ban.

    I'm going to make a post about this momentarily.

    Make it harder to create accounts = less spammer
