Why am I getting kicked from the game for message spamming, when I don't use the da*n text feature? And this happens during a vet dungeon. Please fix this error/glitch.

    You get that error when you're disconnecting and push any buttons, including your movement or action keys. Push too many of any key with high ping and the system will count it as spam when it catches up.

    I wish they'd pick up on the trade people 'spamming' their wares all over text chat - makes text chat next to useless in major towns.

    It means you lagged and all of your data input and output flooded when you stabilized causing you to trigger the error.

    The error message is misleading, it has nothing to do with you sending mail or chat messages.

    It's your game client sending excessive messages to the game server.
    Most likely caused by either an AddOn or simple client/server lag.

    One of the big offenders used to be one of the price checker addons. I forget which one, though.

    I think that is what they were trying to avoid by not having text chat. Zen was trying to make the perfect MMO that would be devoid of all the nuisance things they probably had to deal with in their personal experiences as MMO players. I imagine that all at the creation table had to make a list of all the things that annoy them about MMO, and I bet one of those annoyances was message spamming. Yet here it is anyway, because orthodox players whined about it not being in the game.
