cryptic do something with spamers - ec sellers spam

in chat i spend more time puting them on ignore list these days that i read chat alone.

It could be worse. I remember when they were on the Forums spamming that EC Site. But I have noticed more of them in Sector Space over the past month or so. Perhaps it's because of the Revamp that took down the Sector Space walls that we are noticing them more and more.

The best thing that you can do for yourself in-game is to turn off Zone chat.

It would be better if they infiltrated the most popular chat channels and also massively spam their website exactly like how the gold spammers did on ArcheAge where no one could talk at all:

It's nothing. Some times I wish the gold spammers were a little more agressive and would actually infiltrate all the popular chat channels and spam as much as the gold spammers did on ArcheAge where no one could talk at all:

What can they do? The problem with being a F2P game is anyone can make an account. The Gold Sellers probably have a ton of throwaway accounts lined up for when they do get a ban.

Best option is to just ignore them or turn Zone Chat off entirely.

lots of things they can ... a vast amount of knowledge about squealching repetitive text

why do you even post that if you don't know what the options are

rattler2 · June 2015

Because I'm NOT someone who knows these things. Besides... I think they tried, and the spammers worked around it by replacing letters with symbols to replicate letters like \/\/ for W.

Turning off Zone Chat is a viable option because then you don't have to see that at all.

The Devs already know what text they use to work around it, it has been said by many that a automated system should slap a ban when the exact same text pattern is used.

And, by exact same text pattern, I mean exact same as in length/text type/wording.

Not some system that looks for only a single use of any of it, I mean exact wording, word for word, text for text, text length for text length.

I have reported a number of gold sellers in game, and everytime I get 2 emails from Cryptic, one telling me they are aware of it, and to place the person on ignore. The 2nd email I always get is the customer satisfaction survey. So now, I get spammed more from Cryptic than the gold sellers in the first place.

I personally figure, if Cryptic is not activity stamping out Gold sellers in game, gold selling is not illegal or a violation of the ToS.

we had gold sellers on Champions a few months ago. they got heckled, ignored while still in the tutorial, attacked. (yes people found ways to kill them)
Then we had the people going on in zone about how expensive they were- anti advertising.
They vanished after a month, shortly after the address and satellite picture of their website was posted m the forums.
That one was in Arizona.

Seems legit...
