Spamin & scamin

[Oldcoot]

I'd like to hear some ideas about this growing problem. Mine is to take player to player trades out of the game. I'm sure I'm not seeing the whole picture that's why I'm posting this. Please don't take this as a chance to flame on me for the infractions in this post. I would like to see this problem resolved. Thanks and much love, the Coot

Some of the merchers I know make more money with trades outside cs (legally), than with cs, so I could see them not agreeing.
Just a thought.

Out of the shadows into the spotlight. You are getting brave ;p

I agree with you. I don't think player to player trade is necessary. It's certainly something I never use. Removing it would cut down on spamming for sure and make Balefort a quiet and peaceful town. It would also prevent people from being scammed although if you possess a modicum of common sense, it is rather difficult to be scammed imo.

Well what can they improve ? i mean it seriously


1) As you may noticed you have to tap the Confirm Box with the tick in it , at least 2 times
2) There is a second Confirm Window so both parties can agree or disagree in the last second

3) There is already a mute/ignore button

Ok good points, I didn't take merchin into account, ( don't want those guys mad) . On to the other, spam is there any other option besides the mute button to slow the aggressive guy and his glyph set, or the 40 to 60% off guy. Lets don't forget the " can I have 5k guy". Edit if I do mute how long does it last?

Perhaps PL needs to have the quick chat feature taken out, since that is what is used to spam. We didn't include quick chat in AL for that very reason.

Can it be disabled in town only? I know when the random number generator was in the game, it was originally disabled in town and only allowed in dungeon before being removed all together. I ask because 'REV!' would be the one quick chat that players could not ~live~ with out. (Yes, I did go there).

Players trade ? useless?

What about giving mana/hp pots? what about in-pve pots items lending? What about selling items without taxes?

TRades are really important, even if many players use it to scam.. That's why you need to be careful of what you're trading because all the players aren't nice.


About the chat feature, you could do this :

If the same sentence composed of 2words+ is exactly repeated more than 5 times in less than 1min30, a 5 minutes mute

Or make it like 30-120 sec "cooldown". I occasionally say, " B> pinks 100k+! NO Ao or Ice items please! Reasonably discounted!"

I don't wanna hafta type that every time. So maybe like 2 min cooldown

I could live with a cool down, but would it interfere with normal conversation ?

That thought has merit! However, an enterprising spammer would simply learn to copy/paste on their device... Besides, I love breaking out my old skool/never changed "Hello!" and "Heading to the store" quickchats... so we'd lose a few fun points there!

Thats the problem in AL, there is software for chrome that lets you have quick-chat or type for you so they still spam. it still happening...just not as often. so maybe after 3-4 identical chats in succession or in 3 sec intervals..give them a mute XD.

[DocDoBig]

it last forever , until you ''un-mute'' the person by going into your ignore-list

[Chopper]

Disabling quick chat in town might be usefull since it is abused by town spammers.

In dungeons however, i use the "Thanks!" quick chat a lot to thank anyone who revs me when i die. It would be a shame to not have that option.

Copy and paste..

All of your input has been very helpful for me to get my head around this

GREAT IDEA, but only in townes not in PvE or PvP games.
