WAR (Warhammer Online)

It's really getting on my nerves seeing tells from gold spammers every few minutes. At this rate, that single thing will cause me not to renew. As far as gameplay and all that it's pretty good. But, they need a better reporting and blocking system for gold spam - it's highly annoying. Especially since they said they were actively fighting gold spammers. Well I got new for them - they are loosing the fight.

There is nothing worse than gold farmers and gold spammers in an mmo. At least with wow there are mods out there that auto report and block them.

don't know if it is true (doubt it)but was told in game that they are banning gold spamming characters but not the account. would make no sense but as many gold spams as i get i almost believe it

edit also the gold spammers tell says thousands of gold in stock and the game is barely over a week old seems mythic would be able to find the farming characters pretty quick

no exageratoin - I literally get a whisper from gold spammers AT LEAST every 30 mins on Gorfang server.

I think they are doing it to keep subscribers to make sure they stay over the 500,000 mark, ha. Na, being serious I think they are just banning their characters to keep those subscribers for now.

With the way the chat system is AS IT IS, getting whispers from gold spammers and only seeing that as text is REALLY annoying. They do need to take care of them. I've had so many tells today by gold spammers telling me 10G 5.00 or w/e...so annoying. They need to be banned. If they are, they'll slow down. Why would they keep spending 50.00 on the game? They'll eventually die down if DEVS ban ban ban.

Otherwise, we'll see another LINEAGE 2 on our hands. As much as I love L2, it's full of gold spammers and farmers with bot programs. That's what really hurt it. They use to run trains at the starter villages. Not anymore, now they just farm the 70 areas, lol. I don't want to see Mythic leave gold farmers alone just because they want more subscribers. Ban em all. They'll probably lose 5,000 subscribers at least, right away, haha....stupid gold farmers.

How is this even somewhat annoying? Unless you just can't stand the idea of people buying gold with real money, and even then better reporting won't fix it.

I don't go nuts and go crazy on them and throw shit at the wall when I read their text. I don't reply and say "FUCK YOU STFU", haha.  It's not to that point. Once they spam me every few minutes I'll do that. Well not throw shit at the wall over a game, haha.

I do get a pm every 10 minutes from them. This is annoying because I'm seeing a whisper but it's from a gold farmer. It's not the fact of players buying gold from them. It's the fact of the gold farmers getting away with spamming and ruining the server. TBH, I don't want to even be near gold farmers that are spamming text to people asking them to buy gold. Usually they are annoying to play around. I want them removed from the server. That simple.

Still don't understand why people would buy gold. I'm 21. After buying my mount i have 30 gold. I have no idea what to spend it on.

This is the one issue that is really getting to me the most. I had over 30 today. I reported almost all of them...a couple had already deleted the name they spammed with by the time I got the report in.

From what I have read, Mythic isn't interested in keeping numbers up with spammers. And they are not just banning characters. They are banning accounts...sadly, at this time... the gold spammers are winning...today was horrible

They ban them as fast as they can. There is nothing else to be done.

Could they just IP ban China?

Good to hear that they are banning accounts. Hopefully it slows down soon. I know they'll never stop. If Mythic gets em to the point where they stay silent and get banned here and there and run out of gold stock alot, I'll be happy. Usually when they get banned and run out of gold you know Mythic is doing their job.

I remember I use to look at gold sites for wow along time ago. They use to always be out of stock because Blizzard always took care of them. Since Warhammer is so big right now the Gold Farmers are trying to make the most they can right now. Very annoying. I hope they all get banned. I just hope it slows down. I agree, today was bad.
