    i got a warning from Zanmax in the forum for opening a topic about reporting gold sellers ..

    If you got a warning....this isn't the best place to talk about it. I recommend reading the Community Rules.

    Zone chat is completely locked down. Before you could extend your chat box a little bit to see the spammer's name, but now the messages are so long that the chat box isn't able to view the name.

    I'm surprised there isn't some auto kick for endlessly spamming.

    99% of the player population is not going to do that.

    Then 99% of the player population has absolutely no right complaining about them.

    Seriously, if you're not willing to put forth the effort to report them and do your part, then mods and GM's can't do theirs and ban them.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    99% of the players don't post or (maybe even read) on the forums. That isn't going to stop me from be very vocal about my distaste for this kind of activity. I you really care, you will act. If you don't act you don't really care.

    Gold spammers are seriously out of hand.

    First, limit the amount of lines/characters that can be used per message. There's no need to be able to type up a novel in chat.

    Second, please add a right click - report for spam button that auto-ignores and hides text. Going through the report form like I'm filling out a job application for every single spammer is tedious and unnecessary.

    This.

    It surprises me that they didn't take into account the experiences of other MMO's in dealing with this common problem. It's hard to get rid of completely, but there are lots of tried and true mechanisms that have cut down on it significantly.

    NO NO NO, THESE AREN'T GOLD SELLERS! Listen to me Zenimax! They make you create a acount then they get your email hack it and the hack your ESO acount! When that happens they put out even more its like a bot doing it! They are hacking peoples acounts! You haft to do something!

    More fool them for using these sort of cheats... sri but I don't have a lot of sympathy
    for players who try to cheat this way...


    Um.

    Actually, what they usually do is compromise fan websites. Not cheat websites at all. They get a hold of the email and password information. A lot of people sadly use the same password for everything. Then they either directly compromise the game itself, or they compromise your email and change the password to the game. Then they have full access to your ESO account and can spam.

    It can be as simple as picking up a keylogger from an unsecured website, as well. I had a raid leader in WoW who visited an otherwise reputable addon site (WoWInterface, if anyone is wondering) back in Wrath, but on an unsecured browser. Well, the website sold ad space through a big, reputable company that didn't vet its ads. My raid leader moused over the ad on his unsecured browser and got a keylogger off that. Next thing we knew, his characters were all naked and on 7 different servers, and the guild bank was gone. It took weeks to get it all sorted, but he hadn't actually done anything wrong other than being stupid.

    A thread of screenshots is useless.. you can read this post where I asked them how they want us to handle it and offered the right-click report option suggestion.

    The new issue now though is the big block of text that you can't report without adjusting your font size to something stupidly small. I also suggested limiting the text amount and no replies. This is a HUGE issue and will be worse come the 4th. It's unplayable with chat.

    This hack has to be fixed now so we can continue reporting these asses.

    Started noticing gold sellers today. The game hasn't even finished early access yet... You'd think without an auction hall for effective selling, the amount of gold sellers would be incredibly slim... I guess not.

    Stop posting pictures with gold advertising and dangerous websites.

    I can not believe that the op does not realize he is doing the same as a goldspammer. :neutral_face:

    We've got a spammer right now who's practically filling chat with repeated lines. I've reported him atleast six times now, but I can't ignore him. The system just gives me an error "Busy processing Social request" or something like that...if at all.

    EDIT: A restart of my client, and the bot was ignored properly. -_-;

    Please, can't you guys at Zenimax set up a filter for this sort of thing? I really hope that anyone who has a hacked account can get it back, but even so, can't we ban anyone who's spamming this stuff?

    I like the line/character limit, even a soft one. You can type as much as you want but every x line/characters it re-posts the username so even if the make massively long posts, you are guaranteed to see their name at least once if not twice.

    I agree that China / India / Russia, et al. should not have access to the NA server. That seems like a good place for either an EU server or a new ASIA server.

    Yeah, because we on the EU server aren't getting swamped with gold seller spam already....

    Think what might be wanting is option to report them directly as spam without having to do the whole reporting thing. That would make life a lot quicker especially with the sheer number of people/bots that are selling and spamming.
