I hit into spam filter few times after typing out few sentences in all chat. Remember when Spam Filter were first introduced? lol every few sentences, it censored what you're typing!

I had like 7000 cupcakes to sell and i spammed in all-chat and trade in about every town in all three games and nothing happened. If they have a problem with that they need to take a look at that good idea of an auction house Gaile liked in Aug. 2005 or provide a real trade improvement.

When the game first came out they did ban people for trading in all chat but they have been easy on it since that time and i haven't heard of a person being banned till now. If they are changing/enforcing the rules they have been easy on they need to tell us not just start banning people for no reason.

question: exactly why is it that a-net hasnt implemented trade improvments again? i mean if they haven't done it there must be a reason, right?...right?

P.D iirc the trade improvements were listed in the oficial wiki future upadates and were recently removed, so imo, where not getting any.

Since when has A-net needed a reason for anything? "i wanna annoy the fan base again" seems to be good enough of a reason for A-Net.

does any1 know if GW support is 24/7 or do they work normal hours coz i really wanna get unbanned...

Ravi · May 15, 2007, 07:30 PM // 19:30

i really dont think theyre trying to annoy anyone, there must be a real explanation...

Lucifer PVP · May 15, 2007, 07:36 PM // 19:36

Just to point out i am not bashing Anet. They have been an excellent company the amount of updates and improvements they have given us for free are great, if you want to see a bad company just look at EA and how they release games to early and don't update them till a year later.

Viper for meow · May 15, 2007, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I selling this " spamming" way for 20 months ( just like another 80% of people selling in Kaining centre or Kadam juwel of isten), and suddenly you can get banned for it. what a bullsh*t

a-net boe boe !

Sofonisba · May 15, 2007, 08:50 PM // 20:50

Curious, how many times did each of the banned people get the "Your message has been suppressed..." before they got booted?

FeroxC · May 15, 2007, 08:51 PM // 20:51

If you spam in local chat, you deserve it.
If you spam in trade repeatedly multiple lines at a time your an inconsiderate moron and deserve it.

Seeing 5 rows of the same message scrolling everyone out isnt going to make them want to buy it anymore than 1 row.

Keep up the good work Anet but maybe mute them from local and trade chat for a week, instead of a ban.

Say you're in the store with a young child. The child sees a toy that he wants, but you can't afford it, so you tell him no. The child screams, at the top of his little lungs, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy, I want the toy!!!!!!!!

What do you do? Do you buy him the toy, just to shut him the hell up? No, all that teaches him is that by screaming "I want" at the top of his lungs, he can get what ever he wants and your no will never again mean a thing. What you do, is pick him up and remove him from the store, take him home and put him in time out.

So, in effect, that is what anet did. They gave you a time out. A warning? How about the one that says, "don't spam in local chat"? How about the fact that you can't just type WTB/WTS? How's that for a warning?

There's not a better way to sell? Yes there is, you're just being lazy. There's the auctions and wtb/wts forums right here on guru. There's the party search window in the game. Yes I know, I've read all the whining......"it's not big enough" wah wah wah. Well, it's big enough to say what you have and then to add, pm for info and price.

I'm glad they banned you. I hope they start banning everyone who spams. And I hope they perma ban repeat offenders.

GG ANET!!

Lucifer PVP · May 15, 2007, 09:34 PM // 21:34

I am against spamming line after line like some of those screen shots but in all-chat they made it clear by letting people do it for 2 years that they don't care now suddenly they care.. you see my point

FeroxC nice job on the spam you proved your point very well.

Edge Martinez · May 15, 2007, 10:11 PM // 22:11

Here's how I feel about spamming selling stuff and buy stuff.

If you spam WTS, Selling, WTB, Buying whatever into the TRADE CHANNEL? I don't care how many times you do it. Do it 9 million times in a row. Spam it until you develop carpal tunnel syndrome, and then hire a typist to spam it for you. It doesn't bother me in the slightest.

If you spam WTS, Selling, WTB, Buying whatever into the LOCAL CHAT? I think your first offense should be the 72 hour suspension. The second offense should be a 30 day suspension. On the third offense, Gaile should bust down your front door and break your kneecaps.

It really is rude. (spamming in local chat, not the kneecap thing)

Steppenwolf · May 15, 2007, 10:20 PM // 22:20

Here's an idea. How about a World Trade Center in Guild Wars? A city with all NPC's that can be accessed by a "Ship" click. All buyers and sellers from all lands in ONE city for trade ONLY. The whole spam deal is people trying to find buyers and sellers, so why not make it easier for them? Sellers and Buyers finding each other quickly and easily, and less spam in the big cities. A win/win IMHO

~Peace~ Stepp

and how can people be banned for spam when there is an anti spam code that stops such things automatically with suppression

I agree there are alot who trade in local but for 2yrs its never been inforce to my knowledge until now out of the bule with no warnings.. and its not going to get better as no auction is being added to Eye Of The North

Excellent idea, and probably very easy to implement.

I despise spamming. I can deal with spamming in places like LA, Kamadan, Kaineg DIS 1, aside from that, I pray whoever is rude enough to nag the life out of everybody else gets banned for good.

I feel NO sympathy for you, I'll rephrase... GG ANET

reddswitch · May 15, 2007, 10:46 PM // 22:46

Good move on the temporary banning for spammers. I'm in full support of this kind of banning. Didn't read through all pages but there's entirely too many people spamming nonsensicallly. Support of spamming to trade is idiotic as well, all it does is promote more spamming. The only kind of spam I like is the one in a can, every other kind can go to hell!

Expanding the trade option in search would a nice though, or some trading depot as previously suggested.

DarkLight OCA · May 15, 2007, 11:43 PM // 23:43

hmm trading only town no local chat all campaines accessable via ship sounds verry good idear i would use this, wot about removing trade from normal towns ? so if u wish to sell or buy u have to go to this Place? problem 100% solved.. maybe some one could come with facny name for it lol, any idears how this idear can be put to Anet directly? other than this post that might or might not get read by the right person? restor my faith in u anet

Steppenwolf · May 16, 2007, 01:50 AM // 01:50

There are a few ways to make an all Continent Trade Center work from a "Ship" click.
(A) Make this the only place in GW where you can access the Trade window.
(B) As a good GW Member myself I never buy stuff promoted in "All Chat", if a Trade Center existed that would then be the ONLY place I'd buy or sell anything.
(C) Do as hotels and airports do and design it just for sales to attract business people I.E. All NPC's close together and storage boxes scattered throughout.
(D) The GW Game Dev's have know for some time how to get player's to do things, just add a "Title" for sales made at Trade Center

LvL1 (Door to Door Salesperson) and go up to LvL8 (Ron Popeil) hehehe
