It would almost make sense to think that they would use the website address to auto filter out the tells. Why we would have to type that in, instead I’d them pulling it from their own chat logs is beyond laZy. I hate it when companies expect their customers to fix their own shortcomings.

Re:SWG- that’s an awesome idea. I’m sure that there are some related problems, but as long as it’s investigated, it seems like a win.

SWG has specially appointed and anonymous player “wardens” who have the ability to completely silence another player in all chat channels and /tells for 60 mins. Every time this ability is used a GM ticket is automatically generated so the incident can be investigated.

Stops the spammers cold.

So far, all of Mythic’s strategies to stop / slow gold sellers have been just plain awful. I can understand Mythic’s desire to slap them down a bit, but honestly they seem to be doing it for their own satisfaction rather than to the benefit of their customers.

I just want these sellers & spammers to go away, quietly. I don’t want a bunch of fuss over it and have them given more attention than they deserve. Just automatically filter out mass-tells, how hard can that be?
