Also, I will justify it by saying that until there is an auction house or something like that, GW is so poorly designed that it pushes players toward spamming. It's the only real option they give us for selling things. I could make one WTS message every 20 seconds, which is 1) a monumental waste of time, and 2) not fun since it means I have to sit around WTS-ing like three times longer than the already silly amount of time you have to invest in selling things in this game.

That's no justification. The way GW is designed DOES NOT push people to spamming. It makes people post on the trade chat. It's the mentality of morons that make them spam the their message. Spamming is not the only option for selling things, try posting once every 15-20 seconds as people have already suggested. It's not a monumental waste of time, it's just that you're not used to using the system in a reasonable manner. As someone already said, you sir are an idiot.

You're not allowed to, but chances are you also won't be caught doing it. It's just like drunk driving. If you're not caught, it's fine.

i would like to see that people can report spammers (using screenshots) and that they will be investigated (using logs). That will make the probability to catch spammers much bigger.

Have you ever considered that the economy was screwed up back then and it is now getting closer to where it should be?

Not exactly, merchants pay u money for something they arent going to sell. They better ionstall traders so we can also easily buy both low and high end mods/weapons
