Kicked from game for spamming when I didn't even message

LettuceBrain · April 2021

I was just kicked from the server for "spamming" even though I wasn't even messaging. I am on Xbox NA. I did notice that it kept repeating that I joined the Area voice channel in the upper right corner. Could that be what caused it?

Yes I have the same problem but only in pve (dungeons, arena and trials)! The Game also crashed a lot in pve (i don’t have the same problem in pvp!) and i use the same addons (pve and pvp) and I also tried to deactivate all addons. same... I also had the problem after the end boss when I was only looting and walking. I only had the problem on sorc and templar but i can't say its only those classes because thats my only pve classes (mag sorc and templar healer).

Edit: Im on PC-EU

Most of the time that happens when the client/server messaging hits a delay, and then when the delay resolves, all the messages hit the server at once and the server cuts off the client for "spamming." There's nothing to be done about that.

However, its entirely possible that Area Voice Chat is what's causing the issue, because joining/leaving repeatedly is generating communication between your client and the server. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to resolve that problem!

Zenimax could use a better checksum for determining what is "actual" SPAM, and their servers mistaking lag-generated issues making false-positives for SPAM! Sorry... I may not be able to create DLC for an MMO, but I can probably do better coding than some of their programmers!!
