    Should have seen Aion. Anyway, that's going to happen. Gold Farmers probably get into closed beta to test the waters. They're going to be around, they're everywhere. They're like Locusts. Each time an mmo is about to go live they're there. Even advertising during beta/open beta.

    Impressive

    the first 3 posts are duplicates from an older thread I saw a couple days ago to advertise your crappy gold site under the guise of brining it to a devs attention.

    :rolleyes:

    I checked the post history of the OP and 2 of the 3 responding. They all post on the forums and take part in discussions; didn't see anything about gold farming sites but I didn't go back to far. Soooo, I don't think he's a farmer.

    Some people actually got those messages in open beta. And I seem to recall towards the end of CB a few people got them. Those sellers are like gnats, they breed prolifically and they're always around. Only thing worst then them are the folks who BUY the gold.

    Gold/energy sellers posted in chat during OB and now through PM's. Unfortunately a PM can't be ignored and I worry I'll delete something important because of it.

    There is a way Cryptic can deal with it; automatically block any message with: 'ignmax' in it. That's the only way other than making someone get to a higher level before allowing them to post. At launch (after the grace days I believe the 8th Feb) the only accounts will be paid/del taco free trials so it should reduce until free trials are offered.

    So there needs to be restrictions to either messaging permissions or contents of the message. Please sort this Cryptic because if there's anything that removes the immersion it's spam like this.

    I bet they send these messages around to make people copy + paste the message on a forum without removing the link to help them out with the advertising.

    Look! It's working! :)

    Well hopefully anyone who reads it in this context will see it as a warning. Even if I was going to buy gold/energy (I'm not, quit asking!) I wouldn't buy it from someone who spams like this and ruins the game.

    I've had to report/delete a dozen spams from them today.

    Something needs to be done. Ban China from the game or something.

    Just prevent anyone who hasn't levelled from sending messages.
