Constant spamming
Hello devs,
Probably my only gripe for this game is the spammers that sit in town and try to sell their stuff. It drives me nuts! You need to figure out some way to minimize this annoyance. A great way would be to simply disable the preset speech blurbs when you are in town. I'm sure there has to be a way to do this so it's not like walking into a fair with all the carnies trying to hawk their wares!
Thanks,
-Matt
before 1.5 it was the only possibility to sell items... and i find it good that is still possible bcz u can buy stuff much cheaper then in shop..
and i cant sell all my stuff only in shop...
in town spamming sell/buy for me is very normal....

You can always just find the person spamming, and hit the ignore button

Yup, ignore. I'm not sure if it removes their normal chat too, but definitely works for PMs.
Yes, kills their regular chat as well.Originally Posted by Ellyidol

Ah, I see. Definitely ignore then :P
Then, if they turn out to be regular people looking for a quick buck to get an item, it could get awkward.
404 - not found ...maybe one day...
but may one day someone spam "S> lvl 32 xbow 10k" then u will regret that LOOOL!

I am thinking that if someone sends the same chat message more than 3 times a minute they should get a 5 min no posting restriction.
I posted some suggestions to stop spamming, for example make it where the system simply tells them they cannot post the same message multiple times during a defined period of time. And people jumped down my throat saying that my suggestion would be a waste of the developers' time.
If anyone would bother to read the Terms of Service, spamming is listed in there. It's against the ToS to spam the same message over and over. It should -not- be ok.
Everyone says use ignore, well if I put everyone who spams their items on ignore I would have hundreds of people on it. I use my ignore list exclusively for people who try to scam me and people who are rude to me, so that I will remember their names and chose to never play in a game with them.

Making the game more enjoyable to non spammers is hardly a waste of time...
Eh, doesn't bother me. I don't pay attention to the chat unless I'm talking to a friend. Which is more often through pms anyway.
I dunno what you guys do in town that the selling bothers you so much....
Selling doesn't bother me much. It's the "S>Void armor" repeated non stop while I am trying to read something that is driving me insane. For example some low level player was asking people in general a question about where to do a quest and I wanted to help a bit but could never do it because he fell off the chat box a victim of about 20 "S>Void armor" sent non stop. Ridiculous.
yep true... shoud be blocked...
but iam afraid ppl will do a workaround like this:
S>Void armor1
S>Void armor2
S>Void armor3
S>Void armor4
.....
then begins to be complicated to block...

True those can be annoying, but I just add to ignore list if they're really getting in my way. I've no qualms about having a long ignore list -- there are enough players these days that I won't miss some annoying ones.
Again, spamming is against ToS and should be discouraged. If the people doing it knew it was actually against ToS, then they might not be doing it. I sometimes wonder if it's reportable, but I usually save that for people cursing up a storm or using hateful speech.
I just think it would be nice to have some automatic system, to discourage it in the first place.

Would still slow them down a bit
You know you can scroll back through chat history and see stuff that has gone off the top of the visible chat box right? Honestly I don't think this is a big deal since you can simply ignore these people, but I'd be all for some kind of a timeout on quickchats in town if they are overused.
