Goldfarmer Spam

azurianstarazurianstar Member Posts: 6,985 Arc User
For the past week, I've gotten nothing but Email spam from Goldfarmers, advertising their illegal website and yet my Privacy Blocker is active and didn't block a single one of them. So this another bugged service?

Devs, they been using the Tutorial for years and you known it. And they work around spam filters with their disposable accounts, so why don't you nip it in the bud and prevent emails from being sent until later in the game?

You guys need to stop ignoring these people.

    Patience- as rare in online forums as "common" sense, which it turns out makes Latinum look like it rains from the sky nonstop. ;)

    Eh, bad memory. That's what happens when you get old. :P


    Anyhow, I don't see it being the same. That thread you linked is merely a bug report saying the in-game mail Privacy isn't working. This is just a general rant saying the Cryptic Team needs to do more to stop goldfarmer spammers. Like I said, the spammers went back to their old ways of sitting in the Tutorial and mass emailing their unwanted advertisements. And gave the suggestion that they merely prevent the ability to mail from there.

    All I want is to play the game without being harassed. And I'm sure others being spammed would like the same thing. We are all here to have fun and enjoy the game.

    Spammers are in every MMO and have been for a very very long time. There is no 100% way to stop them all, and as the one way they're doing it that you're discussing was replied to by a developer this thread is being closed.

    For reference: here is the bug thread you created with the dev response that it's being looked at.
