I type "FREE ISS Buffs at the bottom of the stairs, PM me" In Aden.
I said this 2-3 times, typing it each time and not using a macro. It was over a period of maybe 15 minutes. I moved to Rune Township to buff my mentee and typed it again and was told I had a chat banned.
How the heck can I be chat banned for advertising free ISS buffs 3-4 times in 20 minutes when these freaking dumb ***** spam they are SELLING ISS buffs for 100k every 20 seconds or so. They say it over and over every 10-30 seconds.
Not like its permanent geez, you can't use the chat for a few mins. The more you try to the longer the ban becomes. It's temporary no need to get bent out of shape over it. If that minor thing gets you that upset I can't imagine what a disconnection does or dying to a mob.
It's not permanent, but everytime you try to talk it increases the chat ban time.
It's a huge inconvenience.
I don't even buff people at aden anymore. I simply say "No." when they ask and if they pester me while I'm XPing I simply PK them and continue doing what I'm doing. Can work off karma in < 5 minutes in SoA nursery, just ISS CS yourself before you port and no one will be able to stop you from porting in there...
Really a small set of people can't fix the issue if the buffers are making millions buffing they will keep selling buffs. Stop trying, and avoid this issue in the future as a side-effect.
That's the problem, read before you make a hasty post and you won't look a parroting twit :)
You getting upset or something because he repeated what you said? is he going to steal credit for what you said and become a millionaire? no? stop getting all worked up then.
What the hell do you people spam in chat that gets you chat banned? I guess I'll have to try it because I've never gotten a chat ban.
I once got a chat ban for typing too much too fast in clan chat XD
An automatic chat ban is given when you type a few lines in very quick succession, trying to spam 5 messages in a second will get you a chat ban and any message you do after getting a chat ban will lengthen it.
I'm fairly sure the chat bans are enforced client-side, meaning if you can modify the client (i.e. cheating) you can bypass it. Which is so mindblowingly stupid from a game-design point of view.
Most spam in town is done by bots. 95% or more of it. Always has been that way.
