Overloaded Gold Spammer in Zone Chat

for the love of *** god Zenimax, do something about the over abundance of gold spammers in zone chats, it is making the area and zone chat functions very useless for those of us that are actually playing.

This is beyond a joke. so far over 30 people ignored and reported and they seem to be coming up faster than i can send a in game report.

    Gold spammers? Do you actually play the game? I've hear 0 gold spammers in about 10-12 hours of play.

    I wonder if it might be dependent on the faction. I had not see any on EP yesterday at all

    As annoying as it would be, best to just report them as they come. that's' what I do anytime I've seen some

    I've ignored about 5 in an hour's play this morning, so you either haven't played this morning or aren't watching zone chat.

    What's more irritating is there isn't an easy way to report the player. Each time you have to manually enter their name it seems, even when you right click their name and select report. Try getting ffffssfjhjshjfpj correct if you will.

    Me and friends spent 12 hours straight playing. Started around 6:30 AM EST. Within 4 hours I saw my first gold spammer in the city shouting in bright red for like $5 for 1k gold. Thought it was funny because it only being out for 4 hours. Promptly reported it and went on with my life. During the rest of my time, I saw 2 other gold spammers in different cities. It's not a huge issue, but it's there, none the less.

    Sad thing is, with the lack of a AH, gold is not nearly as needed in this game.

    i hope that gets resolved cause i cringe everytime i see the spam.
    but really, ZoS cant do anything about it every MMO has it. let the Gold sellers Die slowly since it would be harder for them to keep up with the Subscriptions per month
    alot of people look at this signature, i guess youre one of them.

    Only ways to fight against this really is to block the /zone and /yell command to level 10 and higher. Even then it's a crapshoot. I'm pretty sure that once the early access is over, and people will have to actually OWN the game the gold spam will nearly completely vanish. Not many gold spammers are willing to spend $50 each time they want to spam their site, and risk having the account they just bought banned that same day.

    Ahem, you have to actually buy the game to get Early Access... it's not beta anymore :wink:

    on my playing time for only this monday 4am to now, i have actually 17 ignored (not character but player as the ignore is made on the account) for gold spams and when i just left, one of those was spamming so we could not even talk (i was in Auridon). I took the time to report and ignore each of those and what is actually worrying me is that those have bought the Imperial edition,and are probably willing to spend money just continue to bother.
    Well the result will be easy to guess : closing my chat until the Devs do something serious. If some game are able to not have any or very few of those, then i dont understand why this invasion was possible.

    One likely explanation was made when they were first discovered in the previous beta. Although I am not going to repeat it here as it'll likely be censored.

    I believe they are using skimmed early access keys. Also if you just screen shot the chat scrolled to the gold spammer you shouldn't need to include the name in the description as the screenshot includes the zone chat box.
