Somehow i enjoy reporting reporting bots that WTB accounts... but the last few weeks they spawn into the bigger cities (kamadan, kc, la), then spam 2 messages (it always seem to be 2 messages) with "WTB accounts for xxx K" and then disappear. They do this so fast that i am not able to report them because i only can report ppl who are in the same district as me (i am always late even when i do it within 4-5 seconds).
Why isnt possible to report "players" that have been in your district less than a minute ago?? IMO that seems to be the only way to deal with these kind of bots (and other jerks)...
better /report system to beat the spambots (buying accounts)

This has been a noted problem, and is yet to be addressed.

Global report system IMO, but only if they stop listening to the reports from pricks who turn the swear filter off and then report people who swear. Happened to me once, somehow, and I wasn't even insulting anyone, just using everyday street language that can be heard everywhere from elementary schools to offices, to kindergarten classrooms.

They'll get banned sooner or later, who cares.

Yea what credit says. Tread has been made 1000 times requesting the same thing, ask me I think it should be closed.

People selling accounts aren't going to be bots.

If you just wait a few more minutes they always come back, usually in the lower districts like 1,2, or 3. Then you can report'em

1: This HAS been suggested many, many, many times before.
2: Using the search feature may have prevented a repeat of said suggestion.
3: Given reasons 1 and 2, this thread is a perfect candidate for being closed.
Let's think before we get holier than thou in the future, hmm?
On topic: decent suggestion. However, given its history of not being implemented, I don't think it's going to happen.

I've been seeing that same thing a lot more lately as well. And yes, it should be changed.
upier
No need - don't care.
It's A.Net's rules - they should enforce them.

type /report playername
i haven't tried to see if this goes from district to district but it's an option as well instead of selecting
but yes we need a better report system
i only saw one twat who bought accounts and started cussing at the people who told him he'll get banned, sad business

It ought to be fixed, yes, but it's sorta like what upier said. If ANet thought it was a problem, they'd address it further.

they should make it possible to report players that are in other districts with /report playername
that way the zoning bots can be handled a bit more
but anet support is pure shit that doesn't do anything to help so meh

/signed. I think anet think theyve cured the bot problem with the IP thing and its not high priority with the few spammers that are left...
I do like the global report thing though.

If Anet's not gonna enforce their own rules, I'll probably be the last one that you see complaining. How does account selling hurt your game experience in all honesty?
Yeah, their breaking the rules, yeah, they should be banned, but I honestly couldn't care less in the long run.

Yes, I made a similar suggestion before. Really, it is annoying, since A.net designed this system to catch spam bots (like the ones selling gold in Great Temple of Bathazar 24/7) and account sellers, and those players/bots have just changed up their behavior to avoid them. It's a clear flaw in the design of the report system.
There is no way somebody could type out /report player Ioaiaiqfads Aiae Ahe
and spell it correctly before that player leaves the district 3 seconds after posting his spam.

Yeah, heck, half the time they are out of the district before it even registers in my mind to repor them.
And Kanyatta, you are a forum veteran. You've heard the arguement about how gold selling does affect you, by impacting the economy and making your money worthless, yet you continue to ignore that FACT without arguing it.
