In Kaineng Center ATM trying to buy hide, and I notice that every time i start a sentence with WTB or WTS, my message is automatically pink if I broadcast it from the All channel. How long has this been happening for?
WTB/WTS Messages automatically placed in Trade Channel?

This was a useless update....now we get to see stugg like SELLING and W-T-S and W.T.S etc....didnt stop anyone from using all channel

If Anet wants to reduce local chat trade message, they should include trade channel specific features which will help buying/selling. Arrogant people will pick the easier method and with those features most of them would use trade channel more.
Well, message channels are a crappy way to do trading in first place. I guess, it is just cheaper for servers than separated trading system.

Any WTS/WTB in All Chat should be an instaban.

amen....trade on the trade channel and leave the chat for people who are NOT buying stuff (like us PUG people....lfg...now if we could get our own channel.................................)

I like it,when shopping for something it was hard to keep up with both chats - now I can tune out the all chat, and just focus on trade (hint hint) and those that spam the all channel now? Ignore is a great feature.

Herein lies the other (associated) hidden beauty of chapter 2 - collectors: with every single possible permutation of max item stats available for FREE it removes the need for players to spend hundreds of plat just to get the 'right' equipment. This was how the spam selling made multi-billionaires. I really like how the availability of collectors changes this in chapter 2, so that anyone can have unrestricted access to all but the rare skinned <insert stats here> items, which are of course cool, but unnecessary (like 15k armor).

actually many of the new collector items are better that the greens people sort after in SF, botaks bone claw springs to mind and many of the other wand which had +3energy(above50%hp), you can now get collector ones with +5(above50%).

If you're slandering, sure. If you're harrasing? Sure. If you're calling calling someone stupid cause they don't get why people don't like the chat channnel being used for trade when there's a trade channel... well, then you beat me to it. Don't like it? Check this out, the internet has this nice little feature called "close."
Now to the original subject at hand.
I hate spamming for trade, I hate seeing it... I hate the fact that lines scroll by faster than most can humanily read. And most of all, I hate public trade spam... I'm trying to find a group, not see how much you're over-pricing a fancy little trinket.
The more steps ANet takes to getting rid of public spam, the better.

On the other hand, while I'm specifically in a town trading I'll turn off the All channel for the same reason - it gets in the way of what I'm interested in. I also refuse to buy anything from someone using the All channel to trade (just on principal) and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this.

I must admit i use local sometimes when trading, other people doing it does piss me off, but it sells things faster.
Most of the time i have all but guild chat turned off anyway so i dont see any spam xD
TBH places like Kaening and Lions Arch were made for trading, until an auctionhouse is added i dont see it stopping and if your sat in Kaening trying to start conversation your in the wrong place anyway, theres plenty of other towns where people go for chatting.

I'd like to submit this thread as proof as to why Local Chat trade spam is a bad thing.
It drives people insane, to the point of physical harm.
And, I honestly don't buy any excuse about "well everyone does it, so I should too" because we all know where that leads. And, if it's too hard to press Shift 4 before you start typing, then I find you lazy and self centered. And I could care less what you think of me.
Trade spam is bad. Why won't people figure this out?

How can you claim these people are flaming??? No offence but thats really quite a stupid comment. They are making very valid points. The Trade channel, wait for it, is for trade! Suprised? Keep it in that channel and dont spam the All channel. If someone wants to buy something dont you think they will have the trade channel on and if they dont they turn it off. So how do you increase the chance of getting a sale in the All channel when the only people who want items will have the Trade channel on?
People who do it are very annoying. You try to have a conversation with someone but cant keep up with the constant spam in towns. The last update is a step in the right direction but Anet has forgoten that people arent sensible. You need to enforce such a thing not just hint that you would like them to stop. Same goes with a lot of other ingame policies but i wont go mentioning them in this thread.

And already people are actively trying to bypass the dump. Can't say I'm surprised, but for... goodness'.... sake, THERE IS A RUDDY TRADE CHANNEL FOR A REASON AND ANET MADE WTS AND WTB AUTOMATICALLY BE DUMPED INTO THE TRADE CHANNEL FOR A REASON YOU IRRITATING GITS!
...I feel alot better after saying that. ^.^

I like this change. Even though there are still people bypassing it [which is rather irritating], it still puts most wtb/wts stuff where it should be. Thank you, Anet.
