So it was brought up earlier this evening about how Ventari's sell is getting spammed a lot, and it's getting as bad as Lion's Arch or Ascalon.

Not so sure how you as a community would feel, but I would like to suggest using a messenging service chatroom, or something else.

Assuming using AIM:

Pro:

Can sell instantly. Can contact people right away. Fast response. Easily deal with what you want to do with your item.

Con:

Too many spammers. People being just rude and going into the chat room without even the idea to buy or sell.

I'm sure there are many more. Please give your opinion

I'm pretty sure they're already working on something for the Ventari's Sell forum. Also, a chatroom of any kind would pretty much end up like LA dist 1.

Use imagination. Can use more than one chat room.

Class Specific rooms.

Which is why I suggested a long time ago for Class Specific districts in Cities.

Easier to sell your Warrior wares in a Warrior Only District.

It's a selling board, isn't there supposed to be a lot of posts?

But it's hard to sell ANYTHING. There are more sellers than there are buyers. And even for buyers it's sometimes hard to find what you want because it might be 4 pages behind, where barely anyone will look.

I feel that having instant connection and communication to others is a good way to help lessen the spam.

The sad thing is, not many people use it. And sometimes it's just that the search feature will not find directly anything you want. If I wanted to buy a a 3:1 Vamp Fellblade with Ice damage in it, and I searched, probably not going to find something specific. But for in general, of course the search is used. But not many do use it.
