Maybe the OP is a Wildstar spy trying to pull players over to that lame game.

No, he just discovered the horrors of Google's targeted marketing.

Noscript man. Noscript.

@Regoras
I find it odd that you sayed "you are jumpy/oversensitive" instead of, "No, sorry for the misunderstanding. We are aware that some verbal only meanings do not transmit via text only medium so misunderstandings are common".

Trying to distract from the faultiness of ones point by using a even more
faulty/insulting point. Not the way to hold a mature discussion.
Please try a tactic I have not already seen and beaten a dozen times.

Back to the real topic:

Just to be clear. I don't play wild star and never plan to. Looks like a kid's fantasy to me. I prefer the medieval war settings on ESO. I'm an ES fanboy. Just pause on ESO waiting for more lore related solo content.

Plus as an accountant, the time investment doesn't make sense in gold selling. And control system is too tedious if not not viable for gold selling. But that's my perspective. I could be wrong. I would rather venture into making an app than gold selling. Just saying.

ESO is a MMO. MMO and "lore related solo content" do not really belong into the same sentence.

Maybe it is just the time you are playing. The worst I get is gold spam mails. I seem to get most between 6 AM and 12 AM german time on EU server. Even when spending hours in the starting zone I get next to nothing via chat.
Even at the worst times it was nothing the builtin ignore function + regualry cleaning of the list could not handle. I have not needed a Spam Fitler addon, and I run around with about a dozen addons (1 self created).
And even at it's worst that was only marginally worse then SWTOR shortly after F2P launch. And there they have 0 account cost and report/ignore works on Character level isntead of account.

I figure with less palyers around, there are less people to report you and let you fall victim to a semi-automatic banning systems. So they really focus on the off times (where most people do not play). Oherwise there is no explanation for the discrepancy in bots/goldspam I see and bots/goldspam I hear about.

In the beginning I keept hearing about "bots overunning the Dungeons"*, but I had to stay awake till 1 A.M. before I even saw one. And then I did saw them in big, multiboxing groups as people had been claimng about.


*Before they implemented the loot lockout there, it was the easiest way to farm stuff.

This guy is adorable.

@Aeradon, the day I moved away from game development into general software engineering was the happiest day of my life because of this.

Google tailors the ads depending on what it knows about you.

For instance, i once was shopping for an e-book reader. From then on, i got spammed with e-book related ads.

If it keeps sending you gold seller ads, that means...
