Gold Spammers LAUGHING at ZOS?

Inco · May 2014

Okay.. too funny...

Today... Gold Spammers name was website name. LOL
Even put a plug in Zone "look my name u know that

Cheap safe trade fast"

I have to say ZOS you guys really need to step up your game. The node farmers appear to no longer be underground and easy to spot (Stand at a node in lowbie section for a few minutes). Zone chat has become more clear (Not sure if due to my spam filter or ZOS, but they still sneak by a few too funny moments.

Yes I reported him. Getting tired of doing what a 24/7 GM in game should be doing.

Didnt you know? Zenimax shares offices with two of the biggest gold sellers in game. Im pretty sure that someone in Zenimax is working with them to get in unopposed.

Waiting to see more level 3 argonians named stuff like "Sells-Gold-Faster-Than-Banned" or "Not-the-Bot-but-farmer-honest" or even better "Repeat-Banned-Spammer"

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. It's a big business. I've been around big money long enough to know that there's few lines that won't be crossed at the top. If you won't, there's always someone who will.

I'm glad I'm not like those people though. I pity people who can just throw morals to the wind. They have no idea how wrong they are.

I still maintain the funniest thing i ever saw was when the gold sellers spelled out their website with their dead bodies right in the middle of stormwind in WoW.

LMAO really? I still want to know why this bothers anyone. Gold Spammers / Botters are in Every game. Just work around it play / enjoy the game for what it is. As long as people buy gold they will show up.

Even if we did silence them, people would still buy gold. Selling in zone chat / botting it won't make a difference. People always look for an easy road no matter what. What is the bigger problem, them selling in zone chat or the people who buy?

Stop / Ban the buyers stops the gold sellers imo. Why do we always fixate on the wrong things >.<

There are very few spammers in chat now (EU). There is a steady drip of in game mail spam but it ends to come in 2's and those names vanish and soem days are spam free.

The bot trains are still around in CH but not all of them and some are obviously disguising their activity and their blatant hacks.

The node farmers (from black market) are still in opening zones and they are often not visible or cannot be targeted or are flying or moving too fast. Some are on crude pathing scripts though and do not do that well, I suspect they are a last resorty for some.

The situation is improving. The one in game economic factor that now needs addressing is motifs cos that is fueling the RMT more than anything now.

Which business? The one where I think they should ban people who buy gold instead of figuring out how to silence the gold advertisers (which doesn't help the cause because people will still buy gold), if that is the business you are referring to then yeah, too many people buying gold to over inflate the prices on items instead of grinding out gold for themselves.

So yeah the business of me grinding my own money for items i can't afford is down
