Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6
What is being done about farmers and sellers?
I last night in prime time Australia I spent many hours in Stormhaven questing and the like, occasionally had a few spammers in zone chat and that was it and saw about six farmers hanging out in a dungeon where the boss spawns. Yet when I went across to my baby EP toon in Davons Watch briefly, to shuffle my bank (maybe five minutes) I had five guild requests from gold sellers. I received two emails. And the zone chat didnt just have spam it was truly infested to a point where it was completely over run by at least 50 messages a minute. IN FIVE MINUTES.
I am too much of a realist and old hand at MMO's to believe that you can ever truly get rid of these horrible people, yet it is clear to many of us not enough is being done in the game mechanics to overcome such exploitation.
I cant believe I have get an unofficial addon to try and stop SOME of the spam. If amateur mod maker can invent something like this why cant the devs?
yes in some senses they will always find a way, but at least fill the gaps and make it harder for them.

Vyndeleron✭✭✭Heard this was intended as a way to get the ingredient (spam) to cook recipes that require it0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I would suggest that before we go on about how they are not doing anything that we see what the maintenance and patch brings tomorrow.
Other than bans, which we know are happening, we will be unlikely to see anything that looks like action until a patch.
Whether or not you see something in Zone chat depend a lot on the luck of the draw in the instance you get. I am lucky because I put Zone chat into a separate window and never see it. No blockers needed. I did not like Zone chat in the betas and it is no better in release, even without the gold seller spam.
I am also not seeing an uptick in mail and guild invites. I tend to get 2, maybe 3, of each per day.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

Perhaps you would care to point me to the post that says there will be a patch tomorrow.
If there is one and it fixes anything of importance then I will post a hat eating picture here.
Yeah, I got a PC. I just don't feel the need to post it's specifications for an ego boost.0 -
Perseas✭✭✭thats bad farming, but there is legit farming also... U cant place them all in 1 pot.
Maybe you should try also, be more observant and check the names of the players, who do that in the bosses!! its like sedfseeesdf so it looks like gold farmers/sellers
Thats why soloers are in a war with them... lol We do legit farming, they do a different type of "farming". We dont repeat our selfs over over over and over again... we explore and travel... We dedicate time collecting materials.Edited by Perseas on April 14, 2014 11:02PM0 -

Be better if it was a picture of someone having constipation... since it sums up maintenance0 -

I do and if you refer to that post "taking action" post it reads nothing more than a form letter, it gives no real insights other than to say they are banning people. They are also banning people for spending bulk emails out their own guild and for or for a wife who gives her husband enough money for horse. I want to hear about how they are going to combat dungeon farming and the like. Anything but a form letter response, because those are the only type of responses I have been seeing. I dont expect trade secrets or exposing the workings but something more substantial than "we are working on it"0 -
Phyrdrin✭✭✭✭Maybe they are afraid of making pretty promises they aren't sure they can keep..."Surprise me. Say something intelligent."1
