Are you doing anything about these goldsellers?

Weird how gold selling has become rampant in EU ever since we've merged.

    Gold sellers have been a problem for years now. I don't see them disappearing anytime soon.
    I can't say they haven't tried to fight back these ad bots as I'm sure I've seen GMs rid of them before.

    I'm not sure how actively they are deleting these ad bots these days, but I can say I've been seeing less of them; at least less on the West.

    one time, I had to clear my 50 blocks daily, now it is once a month - right click and block them, best you can do for now.

    Stay away from the first few channels and you won't get bothered.

    I would volunteer to help fighting them, but I know I won't get access to the things I would need to. (in-game logs, mostly). I do report these spammers, but they are just peak of the iceberg, so dealing with the "seller characters" isn't really effective.

    TIR may help too.

    what game doesnt have gold sellers? lmao, even if some games dont have bot spammers, there is always a black market of gold selling.

    Ok guys, banning these bots will not have any effect because as soon they are banned, they just create a new one (increasing your block log the next time you see them). IP blocking is also useless as there are ways through VPN tunnels that nullify that effect.

    I find the best way to not get spammed is to just put them in the block list when you first see them. Another is to never use their services.

    As to many items in the marketplace, they have so many accounts, there is no limit will stop them from spamming them onto the marketplace when they have the goods.

    They much focus saying a whole lot of nothing banning legit accounts when they never banned them before in seven years. As for the bots yep they will just keep coming back. they should be focusing on how bring down the inflated rates on the mp
