You have to realise that WAR being a huge game, it's going to attract 'alot' of gold sellers, especially being a PVP focused game and the competition is more hardcore then traditional MMO's.

Mythic seem to be working their butt off banning gold seller accounts and finding ways to ease the pain by offering temporary solutions while they work on a long term solution no doubt, as do most MMO's which have issues with gold sellers.

 

You miss the important issue. The spammers are somehow bypassing game mechanics. They bypass ignore lists and you can not even submit a ticket to report them. I tried to report 4 of the spammers this morning and the ticket was rejected saying those names do not exist. I got that message right as one of the names that "does not exist" was spamming me. I have never seen that in any other game with gold spammers. Now do you understand? I do realize WAR is a huge game I also understand the work that a developer needs to do to fight gold spammers however the situation in WAR is different. You are not responding to an mmo newbie I have been through dozens of launches over the last 10 years! Mythic does not seem to be working their butts off. If that was the case it would slowly be getting better. My experience is it is getting worst.

 

If you've been an MMO gamer for over 10 years, you should be well aware of the gold selling problems in ALL mmo's.  WAR is certainly not the first and will not be the last.  Every game I've played in the MMO genre has always had problems with gold sellers. WAR is no different.

I reported 3 gold spammers this morning with no problems whatsoever. 

 

 

Good for you, all 4 I tried to report it said they did not exists that is a fact. Every response has ignored the fact that somehow the spammers are tricking the game to think they do not exist or if they are on ignore they can still send you tells. Ummm Yes I have been in mmos for 10 years. I also noted that I understand that gold selling is in all mmos but nothing like what I have experienced in WAR. WAR is different, it is far worst!

So don't come here and suggest I do not understand launches and gold spamming or that somehow I am not reporting them right. Did not want to do this but I think I need to. MMOs I have been in at launch, UO, EQ, AC, AC2, D&DO, SWG, DaoC, Horizons, WoW, EQ2, LoTRO, FFXI, Silkroads, Guild Wars, Saga of Ryzom, Tabula Rasa, Hellgate London, Planetside, Vanguard, RF Online, CoH/CoV, Archlord, AoC, and few others. In my experience WAR has been by far the worst for gold spamming and I have seen no progress in the area of fixing it. I never said they were not trying I said it has not gotten better and because it is so relentless it has now effect my enjoyment of the game. I can ignore a few /tells but to get them every few minutes I have never experienced that in any other mmo and I truely doubt you have either.  I am not a WAR hater I love the game and defend it. however I can not defend this apparent lack of success by Mythic in this area and yes if it continues at this level it is a game breaker.

Their so called trick to hide their name is they simply delete the character and create a new one to spam with. Their so called /ignore hack you claim they have is nothing more than a log out and back in, since all /ignores are not final and only last until you or they log out. You're a little over paranoid and not thinking straight.
