The OP also states that if they sit there they get multiple PM's around once every 15 seconds. Thats what I was directing "don't hang out in Great Temple" towards.

You know what I'm tired of?
algebra...

y=kx. k cannot be negative.
Find K if the coordinates are (10,-5)
-5=10k.... K=(-1/2)

WTF...? K is negative!!!

then the problem have no solution, IF you REALLY can't find an answer.

and try to complain about algebra when you reach Calculus, just carrying the book can break your arm.

The amazing thing is that they are somehow able to avoid detection.

I was reading on another thread that when you report them they send the report with the name of the last person that they whispered. I didn't see that happen myself when I reported so I don't know if that's what's going on or what.

well I think their starting to show up in the major outposts...unless once they get your name they circulate it somehow...

Im pretty sure ive gotten a pm about gold selling in kamadan/LA before but they probably got my name b4 I left gtob.

all ive been doing is keep taking out a gold seller gibberish name and replacing it with another on the VERY limited ignore list.

imo. Anet should eventually give us a bigger or at least equal that of our capped friend's list

Also, Im pretty sure they have "undercover" ppl on the regions of gtob, daily bannings, but it's the obvious "take 1 out, 100 replaces them..etc.."

I just hope they address it and update us on it.

Got a pm from some bot today in Great Temple Of Balthazar Intl. about buying gold on somegoldsite.com. Then went about my business. I heard many of these gold sellers just use trial accounts. Could be the reason why so many of them exist and why the problem is hard to combat.

Tender Wolf · Jan 30, 2008, 02:58 AM // 02:58

OMG you guys are having that too? I know the feeling, it's sooo annoying. And I reported and ignored them but I don't know what the status is yet. Geez, someone needs a life if that's all they can find to do.

I hate to cite a game like Runescape, but they had it right with this feature. I would love to see it in Guild Wars too. Maybe extend it to alliance members too?

NathanMurray · Jan 30, 2008, 03:15 AM // 03:15

I absolutely hate spammers in ascalon post mainly but I have seen pre and they just go on about guild wars gold deals. Their accounts need a good serving of the ban hammer.

In a game where you have no ingame police like GW you are going to get this type of riffraff. Goto WOW or EQ or many of the other "pay to play games" and you won't find this type of harassment for very long. I remember in EQ I could report someone an a guide would show up within minutes and the culprit banned on the spot. I remember getting two druid characters banned on the spot for pulling high level spectres on lowbies while the druids were "invisible". It was sooooooo funny when the Guide/GM arrived INVISIBLE herself (I had see invisible skill on

) She got up on a high peak and watched them for a few minutes and then POOF they were gone and gone for good as I put people I report in my friends list to see if they get to come back or how long they are gone (do it in GWs also). Those two never came back. hahahah

A quick example

You:
"WTB ......"
Someone who has what you want:
"I have it join me."
The person is set to not get whispers from anyone buy guişldies or frineds

There is one of these spammers 24x7 for weeks in the RA id1 staging area, you can't miss it therefore A.net doesn't care.

OMG I want that SOOO badly, it would be sooo nice to finally get rid of the little stalkers that love me so much. And no, I can't ignore list then, I'd feel too bad =/ and they'd probally commit suicide, sooo...

Tyla · Jan 31, 2008, 01:24 AM // 01:24

Punch the screen in.

j/k ^^
I want more ignore list space...

warpedheat101 · Jan 31, 2008, 02:27 AM // 02:27

just take whispering away from trial accounts might help some

Lady Raenef · Jan 31, 2008, 03:26 AM // 03:26

Removing the whisper would eliminate the point of having your friends try out the game...however, if it has to be done, so be it. You could also restrict them from using the trade channel.

They could set it so that trials can send PMs to people who PM them first. So you can still PM your friends but trial_gold_seller_999999 can't advertise this way.

And no argument here, burn the gold selling adverts

Shakti · Jan 31, 2008, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Spent a half hour in Kamadan selling stuff, got around 6 PMs from a bot gold seller (typical Zxd Sdf type name)...I whinged in chat about #@!$ bots, seems everyone was annoyed as hell. 1 girl was having that wrong reoprt thing. She said she /report the bot, it entered a report for another player not the bot
