Aylish is right. Turn off trade chat. It’s what I do until I want to alert everyone to something I’m selling then it stays on for 5min then straight back off.
What in the name of God is this mentally challenged logic?
So if you have headache you cut your head from the throat?
No .You gotta target the problem str8.
I want to use trade chat and not having bots spamming daily the channel ruining economy by selling gold or fcking up progression by selling boosts for irl money

Reporting them is pointless.
I reported these advert bots for entire legion.
It never stopped. It was generally speaking the same message every few minutes. The entire expansion basically. Only minor changes over time.
Havent bothered to do so in bfa. In legion I did it mostly to clear chat from their spam. Now I dont care.

Most of the bots are from the same accounts IMO.
I tried a new addon (global ignore list) that ignores ACCOUNTS and after i ignored about 30 individual toons, because it ignored all their account toons i’m suddenly getting next to zero boost spam in tradechat. Silly that u need an addon but it makes having tradechat on a LOT less annoying. It’s defo worth a try to see if it helps you too.

Dear Blizzard rep, I and millions of others have reported these spam bots, including those who use the addon badboy.
Unless you ban the people owning the account forever from WoW for cheating, selling stuff for IRL money, spamming etc, nothing will happen.
If they sell 1-2 boosts, they can open 2-3 more accounts, that’s weeks or months of daily, spamming 24/7.
Do. Something. Radical.

Surely if you’re going to post here you should reassure us that you care and do take action?
These things do get reported and I don’t see anything happening. Half of late night group finder is WTS ad’s and reporting them doesn’t even remove them for me. C’mon, show me that you really care?

they get silenced if you report them.
I started playing again since after a year this wednesday, but i can’t say i have seen any bots spamming the chats the last several days. The worst bot spam this game ever had was probably during the time of cataclysm , back then you would be whispered by goldsellers every minute and the tradechat was spammed 24/7.
There even were websites written in capitals with the corpses of lvl 1 players
