So I've noticed something in my forum mailbox... gold sellers. Lots of them. Right now I've got 9 such mailings in my inbox. I want to get rid of them!
Now when I say I want to get rid of them, I know I can delete them. What I'd like to see happen though is a function in your message commands where you can report said mailing as goldspam the way you can in the game. I realize its a low priority request but Devs if you're trolling the forums for requests.. please add this one to your list. Even if it takes a year to get to it, I'd put you on my happy list. Thanks much.

You can report these spams in your STO in-game mailbox. Report spam button at the bottom of your mailbox. The forum mailbox and the in-game mailbox are the same.
Aye, the thing is, STO is so easy to have far to much than you need, so i can't see the goldsellers hanging around all that long;)
Really? What's your trick? I always seem to be scraping the bottom (I still have to upgrade all
my Mk III stuf to Mk IV) and my away team are still on Mk II for the most part.

lol, who cares what your away team has. Ground pve is stupid easy, I just stand there and shoot, and boffs dont go into ground pvp with you.
Vendor whites, some greens, all that stupid food and ground shields, hypos, etc that don't make a difference and AH the blues and few of the worthy greens. Also, don't be a idiot and buy whites off the AH.
I'm sitting on 200K EC atm... anyone need some? LOL
I find it very easy to make EC in this game. I haven't bought a single thing yet and have been surviving off of loot. All food items get dematerialized in the replicator right away along with many other things. Once I start having some difficulties then I might go to NPCs and see what they have to offer, but honestly, the drops are always much better.
indeed got 7 so far
what i think they need to do is add a filter, so any mail with a number of key words in these messages that wouldnt be in any normal message between players.

Same here I am not making anywhere near the Credits I did in Beta. I have made about 300k since headstart and non of the MK I/II gear is worth squat now even for rares. So not worth it to farm SB 24, and the other Actions I am aware of take way to long to be worth farming for rares to sell.
And since I had to start over with my Joined Trill (Thank you so much Cryptic :P) I am now only level 13 again and can not farm anything higher up.
People that are Powergaming are able to get decent gear thats not widely available yet and can make some decent Credits at least till more people catch up to them.
So just going to have to suffer I guess till prices come down on the good gear or hope to get lucky on drops.

What level are you, I found pretty much after lvl 11 I was making loads that i didn't really need.
Im level 16 now, i have around 70,000 after buying 2 blue items for the exchange last night. OK maybe its not loads, but it's way more than I need. I loot most weapons, shields etc, well, everything that isn't food and small hypo's, then sell as soon as i beam up to ship
Also, doing the Ultimate Klingon quest ( chain ) bags you 5 blue items and some nice greens. I just read what lvl you are, I got all my MK4 from rewards, I still have some MK3 though.

How did you get your joined trill to start at lvl 13? i had a lvl 9 Fed, then deleted him to make a joined trill. How does it work?

Same as it's in all other MMOs: sell stuff. And do it on player market, not to NPCs. Takes more time to scrap your extra stuff, but it does pay.
O, and do not hang on to stuff 'you might need some day'. By that time you'll probably have better things at hand. Dumping stuff frees your mind.
Lastly, there are those loot hogs that would crunch on every single splat of research data and sell them by the dozen. If there is a will, there's a market. Hm, does that sound ferengi?
I think we should have an option to report from our mail box or mark as spam. I get 5 emails a pop from one account. its sad. at least in SWG the credit farmers don't fill up your mail box...

I agree, it would be useful if we could report the emails to someone.
I am getting annoyed of having these spam emails too :mad:
I got my ignmax gold spam today from someone with a random string of characters for a name. When I recently logged in with a new character I saw two other PC's in the very first room you zone into with similiar names. They were just standing there side by side doing nothing. Clearly they were lying in wait in the starting instances to capture new names. Other companies have gone to great lengths to removes gold sellers, I'm praying Cryptic does before the whole universe becomes a Ferengi playground!

Wanna get these gold sellers banned

go into your CP options on the website and disable PM's or enable only people on your friends list PM's
No more gold seller mail spam

I wish, no I had to start over too, just got to level 13, well now I am 15, its sucks to start over.

The thing is though, the people that buy this gold / credits etc are the reason it will continue.
Hope they sort something out
