i know i saw this tread 3-4 days ago... same topic and everything... no idea why the keep starten, they cant easily fix ppl spaming in local channel... otherwise they would have to limit everything ppl type... they turned WTS directly to trade... now u get W2S, W|T|S, SELLING, and so on....
as i recommended before, dont try to fix the problem by limiting chat... build around it... make default districts for all cities dist 2... let all the traders use dist 1.... starting an auction house is a good idea, but still wont fix problem, we r facing 3 continents, 3 different types of items, ppl just want to zone through each continent, spam, then move on.... it would take some real work for anet to setup 1 marketplace where everyone can just post what they r sellen, most sellers have 5-6 items, some more, search can hold 1 item, if they open it up for more text then that will be a very huge window u r looking at....
and even defaulting dist 2 isnt going to fix it all, and i know this, but it will cut down on ppl who accidently land in the buy/sell dist, which is 90% of the time dist 1's...
now, they could easily made Balthazar Temple, or somewhere that all ppl from all continents can reach, and set it up only for trading... then all ppl could go to same location and spam all they want... they could actualy set it up to where there were dif. dist for different types of things... like lable it "dist 1 - swords"... "dist 2 - shields" and so on...
that is the only way i see such things getting fixed... game has been around almost 2 yrs now, they have made some improvements, but not even a lions arch moderator is capable of fixing it... i know, they have told me to use trade chan plenty of times...so i zone to kcenter, or after 5 mins he leaves, its open game....
yes i am a spammer, but how else can i really sell things...
