make faction chat only lvl 25+
region chat lvl 15+
dungeon chat lvl 20+ 
lfg chat lvl 15+ 

if someone writes in chat faction/dung/region same shit 10x time he gets mute for 6 hour  <-- the best solution

Wow long thread TL;DR!

 

But mainly those bots will use Normal chat channel and placed every corner of the newb zone. It doesn't solve chat bots IMO.

this was necessary, the gold spammers were breaking the game

Indeed. The bots are a bullet wound to the game. The game needs emergency care, not a bandaid fix.

The spambots are one side of the coin, the other are the low maturity of the population across the servers as well. My suggestion would be to make a time restriction for everybody to talk in faction/region chat between 15 and 30 seconds for a message. That will severely help against the spam.

actually that's nothing lol. it just proves how slow thinking the developers are. chat lacks the most basic anti spam features but I can't say that restricting chat is a bad move but it's so obvious and bypass-able

cool we4ll the Japanese server don't have  span block I think I plaied on it and u can talk to anyone ant level 1 but I am so glad there made a English server

Honestly they should just restrict it to 20 or so, I wouldnt matter region and faction to go even higher, its not like getting to 10 is hard and soon they will add bots that get to 10 and start shoutting right away.

The chat right now was a holy mess, pretty sure every1 was ignoring it or just looking at the system tab.

Frankly, they should restrict the faction chat up to 40-45 lvl. Not like you have anything useful to say for your faction with your useless low lvl char.
And its just full with insults and spam even without bots.
And make that stupid report function to actualy work, when a given numbers of players reports make it  mute that spammer atleast.

Or the best option, hire *cricket* GMs ingame.

time restriction in between chats doesn't really help when the same gold seller are already logging multiple mule accounts to advertise. even if you make it so you can only chat in faction once every 30 seconds, they'll just make 30 different accounts with the same ad that are set off to shout at 1 second intervals in between one another.

Great, we got a start. but more will need to be done sooner or later :)
