Can't we get the FBI to close down their sites or something? I imagine that would be much more efficient than banning them one by one until every giberish name in GW has been used.

I've been pmed when I logged in directly into my own guild hall. I can't report someone if I don't know where they are. And right now, my ignore list is full of gold-spamming bots...

Filter out the gold selling site name (and numerous vaariations) across the whole GW universe. That should slow them down slightly

FBI?!

Be serious...

Selling online gold isn't illegal. You're paying for the time spent collecting the gold, not the gold itself. Might sound stupid, but it keeps them operating.

Plus, if the FBI wasted resourse on a computer game, there would be hell to pay.

I generally only see this in American districts when I hop over to sell stuff. When in anything not American, no spammers.

It's horribly frustrating, however. I would love the ability to block PMs from trial accounts.

Can't a simple web address filter be applied to the chats; one that prevents you from sending web addresses? There should be very few instances where someone is inconvenienced by this.

They'll probably improvise by going "spamsite dot com". Bastards >.>
