Hello. I'm going to start of with this statement. I am NOT a spammer. I am merely a person who talks a lot, and in segments like so.
- Hey
-So guys I found out something today
-If you put your fingers in your nose far enough
-You can't breath
-Isn't that cool?
-Guise?
"You have been chat banned for 24 hours"
This only happens in Zone or Say chat. I was merely talking to a friend in say chat, saying that I'm a bad person for not praying enough. Started caps lock yelling about it and apparently a little too much. The gods were angered by this and decided to smite me with a 24 hour chat ban.
As a Devoted Cleric this is a PLAGUE. It is almost impossible for me to get anywhere if not in a group. Now that I'm running T1 & T2 Dungeons communication is also VITAL. Its a really big punishment for a very small offense.
I want to stress I completely understand the need for spam filters but a 24 hour ban to start is FAR to much. I am not a gold bot. I'm not a sell spammer. I'm just a rambunctious person with a very fast WPM(120+) who breaks his chat into segments.
Another problem I'm having, as I've also seen others post about, is the ticket system. In game support options arn't working and it's a big problem as far as a Beta goes. Please get on this. Thanks.
Edited here to expand.
There are also some bad side effects I've realized after talking to a friend. Many things are VERY difficult to do if chat banned, and you can't even inform your friends, except for with the mailbox service. Here is a list of things that are difficult to do during the next day for me, as I still have 23 hours and 22 minutes left on my chat ban.
Pvp - Everyone gets mad when you don't respond and you can't explain if you're doing something wrong.
Epics - Can't do pugs. First off no communication. Second if they're derps you can't lead them to victory. Third if you're like me and want to be secondary heal, primary debuff you can't communicate it.
Leveling - Not a problem for me currently but I was lvl 55 and was chat banned my first time. Its only happened to me twice so relax. Still... thats 48 hours total. For someone who plays as often as me, especially with I'm so passionate about this game, that is ROUGH. I had to lvl from 55 to 60 chat banned and was bashed by so many for randomly party requesting and then not saying one word. Its hard to solo 55 to 60 with low level companion tanks (seeing as the companion level for non cash shop pets is 15). Real hard!
Selling items - Auction house is down right now. That means I can make no income at all. Hurts bro.
Guild - People think I'm ignoring them! thank god for mumble otherwise everyone would be like "We'll hes running around but no responding idk. And for some reason he keeps running up to me on his horse and thrusting..."
TL;DR: Chat bans turn you into a freaking Mime. I hate mimes and I hate makeup. Don't make me be a Mime PWE. Halp pls!

So if you tend to annoy people in chat, you may be relegated to an “every other day” solution. I stay out of “Zone” altogether. It’s just a ban waiting to happen. Once I get my RP groove on “Say” may become problematic but one must take one’s chances.
If you just have to chat in Zone you should strongly consider changing to be more appealing to the masses. This is the message Cryptic is sending you. If your chat style is bothersome to the populace, change it. Try to be more topical, talk about something popular, try to make friends who are cool and wont immediately place you on ignore.
It goes without saying that you are on a free account and other free accounts are just an email away. Got nothing better to do? There is always vengeance. But why dwell on that. Wouldn’t it just be easier to change your personality? Become someone different than yourself for an online audience? Cryptic thinks so.
Now if only I could ban that Admin that keep spamming me about people and their horses!
Id report you too, this isnt a myface text messaging app
Go fig.
Explain "not chatting like them"
Why can't he learn to write in a complete sentence then when he claims to have such high WPM? If he can't learn to write in just a sentence then he doesn't even DESERVE to use chat at all.
You realize that they are proving their point by only reading a portion of it?
And just to be contrary I'll point you to all the threads with people in them demanding something be done about the selling in chat in zone chat. Which this is Cryptics answer to.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
IDK but this is just plain annoying
3 lines then boom your now a spambot, seriously, they gotta fix this
That said, they really should fix the ignore feature so that it does not flag people for spamming. In my mind there is a big difference between people who I want to ignore due to inane comments, and spammers, who I want to shoot in the face with a shotgun...
Oh and on a similar note, last night there was SIGNIFICANTLY less selling going on in zone chat, which was nice, and I would guess directly related to chat bans.
