I got 3 emails from 3 differnt people the other day trying to sell me Energy and power leveling from 1-10.
Is there a place to report people like this?
How can you stop from getting solistations like this?
And what can be done about it?

I would think that buying anything from anyone in the game for real money would be against the Terms of Service so what can be done about these leaches?

    Multiple threads about this all over the place. In game, you can report as SPAM. Dev are working on stopping it. No ETA or what the fix might be. Just report the mail and delete. Not much else you can do right now.

    Wait wait wait, this could be important: do you REALLY mean e-mails, or do you mean in-game mail? If it's e-mail, that's a dangerous breach of security. If it's in-game mail, well, welcome to MMOs.

    Wouldn't be a true MMO without the money sellers and power levelers! Heck, I think STO is the only one to have them while still in beta! Now that's an accomplishment :D

    Yeah... I got one offering 10 million credits for "only" $15,999

    I'm wondering how they even have that many already, but anyways...

    I get a lot of spam too. I just report/delete.


    It's not the farmers you should have problems with - it's the people PAYING the farmers for their services. If nobody was buying credits/plvling farmers would be SPENDING money/time on accounts and getting NOTHING back. All farmers are doing is providing a service for those who want it.

    AION farmers were already spamming during closed beta and were actually selling GOLD during closed and open betas, lol. And it seemed as if they had actual buyers... Sad but true.

    Now that is awsome! Atleast our beta sellers waited until open beta so people would be stupid enough to buy. Afterall, based on the amount of posts and people asking in game, STO is a rarity in that it didn't let you keep your beta characters. LOL

    I saw gold spammer spamming from what looked like a regular account name. Just say no to powerleveling and buy credits :D

    I received 8 in my cryptic inbox today. Different senders, but same subject - "strobard", or something of the sort.

    Mine always say "stoship"

    What confuses me is that China passed laws last year preventing RMT (Real Money Trading) by making it a federal offense.

    From my knowledge of the other MMORPG's I've played, I attribute about 70% of all RMT to American farmers. But there are some I know for a 100% fact are from China. I'm wondering why their government passes a law and doesn't pursue it.
