Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
Some people spam selling items on someone else, which is against the rules, specially if he sell a level 1 item for 2 bil gold (lol)
I got an idea to remove this:
-If someone get his sell request declined, then he must wait 60 seconds to make another sell request , if it got again declined again, maybe increase to 120 seconds, then to 180 seconds. (maybe thats max)
And about players who might abuse this system by relogging ( if the relog remove the wait times ) , they can have a nice Jail.

Re: Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
Love any idea that gets rid of spam selling.
I support this sort of thing.
Maybe not the jail... perhaps, a kick instead.

Re: Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
Rather than pop-up the sell notice, it should get sent as a message. The recipient can then view when time is better. The message would include accept or reject options. If reject is chosen, then it follows the suggestion.MadMikael wrote:Love any idea that gets rid of spam selling.

This serves 2 purposes: way to cut down/eliminate spam selling AND way to kill (pun intended) spam selling with attempt to kill a player (who must respond or lose a battle they can't see!)

Re: Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
Yep - very good idea this.
It got me thinking of another which is related to this. When you click other players, icons appear above them (send friend / clan request and so on). Why not have a toggle mute/unmute player icon? It's a sure fire way of stopping the spam sellers.

Re: Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
I think there are enough buttons above a player's head. I like the idea of a toggle in settings. Or, how about adding a chat command ( /sell ) which toggles in-game.Leone wrote:Yep - very good idea this.

Re: Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
That's a fair point. Another icon would make it a bit busy.
Whichever option is easiest and most practical to implement gets my vote. It's a great idea that would help make the game playing experience better.

Re: Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
other ideas which have been discussed in the past that I remember
1> /ignore player_name would block all chat, clan invitations and trade offers from a given player
2> can only trade with friends/clan mates
3> can only trade inside the safe zones around shops
not saying any of these are perfect, but may help keep this very good thread going

Re: Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
I think it's really good to lift this idea against spam sales again.
So fun to see that this idea is developing and just getting better and better.
Thanks to the ideas of others here, my tired brain got started properly haha. I do not know much how programming works?, but I would have liked to be able to choose when someone sells something and when the box shows whether to accept the purchase or decline and to add an extra choice that silences the player and forbids the player to continue with his spam sales (if possible for Combatant?)
I hope these Spam sales are soon in history.

Re: Idea to get rid of Spam Sellers
Commands don't work when a player has spaces in their name. Many times I cannot pm or message others because of this.
Does life really get better?
