The title says it all, a bunch of players everyday leaves a BOT on and spams the same sentence over and over and over, making the chat almost unreadable. Plus, zulie sellers can spam their sites easily with it.

Either find a way to avoid this or just remove it and go back to shout chat only. At least the 20 seconds block between each shout is something.

Yeah seriously.. trade chat is useless and abused greatly. Please remove!

Added your idea to the list with a 'new' button

Don't see the point. If we remove trade chat they will just spam some other type of chat. They aren't going away any time soon.

The devs just need to get the /ignore function fixed

remove trade chat and change [SHOUT] color to dark blue?

The normal chat usually isnt abused by normal players. Since the trade chat is more noticeable they do spam it with BOTs.

Zulie sellers will spam any chat but at least sooner or later they get banned, while normal players don't.

Yah, i agree with ya 100% on this one Goj

Surely you must remember the time before we had trade chat. It wasn't that long ago.
The zuly sellers were there. they just spammed normal chat instead.

The way it is now if all the spam is in the trade channel i can just disable trade completely (since i rarely use it) then I don't have to contend with spammers at all.
If we take the channel away then they will just move back to normal chat and then it becomes impossible to have a normal conversation with anybody in junon at all.
WAY worse IMO.

It isn't the color of the spam that causes me problems. It's the fact that real chat gets scrolled off the screen so fast that I can't read it. Look away for 2 seconds and it's gone.
If you don't like the green just block the trade channel completely in your options.

I don't think they should remove trade chat cause it is useful, maybe put a 10 second delay, 20 is too long. Also fix the ignore function and the problem won't be so bad.

Edit: Maybe make something that mutes you for a minute or so if you type in trade more than 2 times in 10 seconds

I just wanted to make a topic like this when I saw it was in the suggestion list thingy. Just wanted to add that this is VERY important.
Regular chatting isn't an option most of the time because of spamming children that want to:

- sell servant set, saturune, venurune and hair coupon
- sell unique lich mask/reaper or buying an epic katar
- selling a sundering force 64dura
- buying a skill book reset ...
- selling/trading epic sword (15) with D7
- selling a lava set D7
- selling epic 2 hand sword +11 D7 for 380mil
- buying venurunes
- selling a lava earring and necklace with D7 and also a precious aurum armor with sagi

(I hope some people actually see by these quotes I'm talking about them )

These are just a few quotes that I've seen spamming multiple times in only 30 minutes to an hour of time. By all different people. I see someone as a spammer who:

1. quickly pastes their (trade)shout at least 3 times in a row.
2. do that a few times at least.

I have a small example:



It's been going all day and I've sent several tickets with screenshots and everything. But I just see some of the exact same people spamming that I reported not even a week ago.
It's getting ridiculous here. When you're trying to sell something you actually háve to spam yourself to get ahead of the others (exceptions are present (picture above)).

Something has to be done. Either limiting each phrase to 10/15 seconds or entirely removing the trade chat are an option. I personally don't mind which one it's going to be.
Simple fact is, it's really ruining the game.

What I notice sometimes is this kind of situation

Player X> S> Venurunes PM me!
Player A> B> [random]
Player B> S> [random]
Player Y> B> Venurunes PM me!

This will go on for hours and hours and these people just can't seem to read.

if you don't want to see all this stuff in the trade channel just disable it in your options window.
It takes seconds
