Gold Spamming Gone?? - Guild Wars Forums

joshuarodger · Feb 28, 2008, 10:44 PM // 22:44

I don't know if it's just me but i haven't had anyone spam a gold site at me for the last 3-4 days. i've been to every major town, temple of balth, RA, and i can't remember being hit with a gold spammer in that time. it used to be that everytime i stepped foot in GToB i got hit not even a second after i loaded. now nothin and it makes me happy. did Anet do something about it?? surely not.

Anyone else notice this?

That's probably because they have all ganged up on me.

I had about 20 (literaly) bots spamming me through whisper in the last 2 days.

I've had been hiting Balth island and reporting the ones there for a while now, seams over the weekend they stopped pming me and using that outpost. Maybe they'll be back, but I really hope not!

/clap Anet.

Spam bots must not like me. I have never had trouble with them except in my earlier days playing GW, and that was when they would open a trade window and say "you buy?"

Dono · Feb 29, 2008, 10:17 AM // 10:17

There does seems to be less of the buggers, but ive still had a couple. Definately seems to be better though.

Ku Ku · Feb 29, 2008, 10:56 AM // 10:56

I wondered the same... i managed to stand a long time in temple of balth (a good 20mins) and there wasnt one that nabbed me!

TheRaven · Feb 29, 2008, 11:31 AM // 11:31

Well when i'm on my main account, I've never had much of a problem with them except in Great Temple. I'd get an occassional whisper, but not much.

However when I log into my guildless-level 3-a whomping 2k in storage secondary account I'm bombarded with whispers for gold sellers. This account just screams I'M A NOOB and unfortunately those are the folks they target.

Spamming gold only had a few pm's lately thank heavens.
BUT go to Shing Je Europe 2 and lots of Ele "bots" all running the same path like they were doing a while ago and all random caracters for there names.
