Another thing - the other day I tried selling an actual item on TRADE channel for some quick cash, you know what happened? My message gets stomped by a dozen boost spam ads and I have to spam too if I want to have a chance for my message to even be seen. I gave up and waited for AH. Funny.
In the end, if Activision Blizzard wants this to continue so bad (both ads and boosting in general), though I don’t think what I’m about to suggest is a good idea at all, then add a special “boost channel” so us who are not interested in such services can leave it and have a peace of mind. Better than nothing.
Blocking words and chat, as Violetta suggested, is something that did come to my mind, however this is not a permanent or efficient solution to this problem.
It has its downsides such as, even tho you don’t see spam messages, other players do and boost spammers for example still stomp your “WTS [Actual Item]” message on trade channel, or your guild recruitment message.
Or your chat filter blocks a message that you might actually want to see. Filters are mechanical and not perfect.
Removing chat altogether is removing a very useful feature of the game, why not really solve the problem instead…
Why would you send messages I have to see all day, every day on minute to minute basis with something I don’t have any interest in without giving me an option to stop you? There’s a reason people invented the word SPAM, spam blockers, unsubscribe buttons etc.
Maybe you like watching irrelevant ads while playing games or watching videos, but I don’t and my ignore list is full.
You’re here just to argue and try to counter my opinion no matter what because you’re most likely a boost buyer. So I will not reply to you because it makes no sense as it will not lead to anything constructive.
Names and screenshots as proof, please., else the many would still be you and the other about 15 people constantly whining about it on the forums.
Also, id you don’t want to be spammed in the cities, simply opt out of the trade chat.
Hey! You want me join me a on 15 key? The thing is though I don’t have any gold for repairs and it’s a couple hundred thousand gold, think you could spot me?
Idk its kinda always been like this, the most selled “product gets advertised the most”.
Before the groupfinder /2 was full of LFG Spam, at the start of bfa it was full of “Buy all herbs.” Whatever sells best is what most people will advertise cause… well it sells.
It seems you do not like the product but you can not justify getting boosting itself removed (since it is just players selling services to players just like any item), so you try to crack down on the way it is advertised, which has been hit once before in the group finder (which was fine since boost sellers are not really looking for groups to get going but for customers) but tradechat is the correct place, they offer a service for gold.
This guy out here complaining and at the same time making himself look completely ridiculous by bashing anyone and anything that doesnt conform to his standpoints xD way to go man, you are only proving it is the weekend again
But trade chat can be very useful you know? Why don’t you leave trade chat and spam somewhere else? Like I suggested, special channel for special services. Again, read my post(s) before replying.
Hmm, how about this then:
You don’t like the boosters, that’s obvious. However, you think that by making yet another thread with the exact same “arguments” with a new coat of paint you are making any sort of difference.
Hate to break it to ya, but no, i does not and will not, no matter how much you scream, shout and/or pointlessly flail about it. No matter how much fuss you make, how bring a pyre you can build, boosting via gold is legit, because it’s an in-game service that players offer to other players for in-game currency.
Also, what is the point of yet another channel if it’s going to be spammed again? If you want to sell something - the AH is there for ya.
However, unlike you ( or anyone else for that matter) I have some inside info when Blizzard in-fact is going to ban all the boosters.
woops it auto logged me in on a pleb, forgot I was speaking to a good play…(looks at profile) welp nvm that. You interested in a boost?
People want to play the game but dont have time or have the gold hence the reason for a boost.
Communities actually distribute the gold so you can get it on your realm, also if I had to wait for people to whisper then form a group instead of it being premeditated like in older expansions it would be a real pain.
