The spam has reduced greatly, but it still trickles on. I’m still unimpressed over how Mythic handled the entire situation by essentially using their users / customers as a honeypot to track the culprits. They could simply have blocked mass-tells.

/ignore still doesn’t work correctly for everyone, a few guildmates have complained that players they’ve ignored still send them tells.

Bonus points for Channel Massive: over a week before “can I have your stuff?” Loss of points: guessing and making wrong assumptions about things that they could read here, like “yes, LibSlash is installed.” For anyone visiting from there, SpamMeNot works perfectly these days, much better than Mythic’s built-in spam reporting (see other post about that).

And for all new visitors, welcome.

Zubon says he quits, and the next day they patch his issues. Zomg!

So… coming back now?

The patch today improved both the ignore function and the reporting function, so hopefully that helps you. They’re fixing bugs at a satisfactory pace for me, especially after playing classes in WoW that had longstanding bugs for 2+ years before fixes were finally implemented.

Hopefully your remaining 19 days will change your mind, but if not, good luck in your next game. WAR will only get better with time, so six months from now would probably be a great time to come back.

I know how the little bugs can, well, just bug you. Gold spamming is a major problem in all MMO’s and for Mythic not to have some plan in place to prevent them from annoying their customers was a misstep on their part. Especially if they are recommending a third party add on to fix it.

That being said, sure its annoying, but if you are truly enjoying the game as your other posts suggest, I wouldn’t quit over something that I’m sure Mythic is working to fix. The next patch is suppose to improve the chat to some extent. They know that gold farming is an issue. I would give them the time to fix or improve the situation before I left a game that I really liked.

That being said, you will be missed, who will I get my engineer info from?
