BestCatGirl Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 It will slow them down but wont stop them. I think bots should get automaticaly muted for sending several messages too fast that way they can't spam chat all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True it might not stop them but slowing them down gives them more time to find a proper fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadian Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well, I'm surprised they didn't increase the block list. If you report enough of them, you will get a message saying your block list is now full. LOL Easier just to make your own chat tab to avoid it all.

Indaril Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I checked the profile of the bot spammers and all of them were lvl 3-5. Not sure how willing these people are to level their bots up to 10 but if the spamming is less than anything it's been over the past couple days it IS a relief!

Nepgear Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 It will slow them down that's for sure, you won't get like 20 of them in the morning all spamming the same damn website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsodical Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 They need some type of feature where after say 50 people report a name for spam it perma bans the account from chat for say 72hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spam the same line 3 times within 5 minutes you get a 1 hour chat ban. *edit* add in Rhapsodical's post about a 72 hour chat ban if you are blocked by 50 people. To address the block list, run a batch every other day ( because our list is so small, it can be adjusted if it looks to not be needed as often with the above chat fix ) if the name in the block list is banned, remove if from said players block list and this can be used as an auto clean up. They did this with Aion and it helped a lot ( the block list clean up part ) they could increase the block list size though so they would only have to run the clean up once a week during maitenance.

If they are blocked by 50 people it is likely NC has them on their radar, if they can't ban them within 72 hours to make it permanent then increase the time.

Archaegeo Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Right now some of the sites are making 5 new bots ever 2 min or so, so the level restriction will certainly slow them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primula Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 It won't help at all. They'll just keep levelling a bunch of new characters using bots and spam for an hour or so on each one giving enough time for the next batch of their spammers to level to 10. It doesn't take long to get to lv10, all this does is restrict genuine players from chatting and introduces more competition for mob kill quests up to lv10. We need an active moderation team who will actually deal with the situation, instead of hindering player experience by restricting access to features.

Shana Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Like most of the bots aren't even below level 10, which is why I think this wont work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosiFeliciano Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well... I really wanted to make my banned list bigger, its so many bots for few slots x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadian Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Level 10 is nothing for them to reach. Once they get the process rolling, they'll have plenty of "bots" at 10 or better spamming. I've seen many games put level restrictions in and within hours, it was defeated. I don't mind reporting them when I want too. I mind the fact that you have to manage your block list to do so. You are asking me to help "police" your chat system and report gold spamming. At least give me the complete tools to do so, including a block list that can handle it. lol Like I said, if you don't want to deal with it at all, just make your own chat tab. You can control it better that way AND once it's done, you can set it up the same way for all your toons. Login, Click Tab, Spam is now defeated.

Poeticintellect Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 auto mute anyone who spams more then 3 of the same messages in chat. cause no real person does that. an if they do make make in game GM available to handle those situations.

RaikaVernana Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The gold sellers and their army of bots have a very strong structure is probably imposible stop it but at least they can minimize a lot the dmg they are causing to our game experienced!!

Aureus Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think the bigger issue at hand will be the economy that comes from this. If the bots were just spamming chat it'd be a much simpler issue, but the bots are obviously getting the money from somewhere. The market is going to be played by a bunch of gold farmers, AND we will probably have about the same amount of spam in the chat. I honestly think we're going to be waiting for another patch.

Yeah, the prices are indeed creeping up. I've also seen the market being played. There were a few last night buying up all the singles and then stacking them in 5's at higher prices. Since there were no singles, people were in the position to having to buy them in fives or go look for the resources elsewhere. This happens in any MMO. It's nothing new. Now if you can harvest the resources, then you can ride on their fortune... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glub Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 What we really need to have our block list uncapped past 50. It takes them all of 30 minutes to make 50 bots and fill up your list. Having a level 10 restriction will only hinder them for a short time. 1 minute ago, Crowku said: I have a feeling this spamming will go on for months... MONTHS. I just have no faith in ncsoft right now, Honestly most games have a problem with spamming so I doubt there is anything they can really do to stop it completely. Of the game I play GW2 still has them whisper you as you go into a city and SWTOR still has them sending you mail with 1 cred attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
