Blizzard attacks with Wet Noodle hitting one player, it's not very effective!
I'd rather see the ban for spamming Trade/General than the LFG. I can easily filter the LFG entries, looking for what I want. On a server like Area 52, the Trade/General spam is non-stop.
They literally made a huge blue post on the forums and website like a 2 years ago.They outright said selling anything in the group finder will result in a ban and to stick to trade chat.https://www.cuckhead.com/news=285321/in-game-advertising-policy-changes-for-group-finderDid wowhead forget something they themselves reported on?
Just to point out:
Really do think boost services should be more of it's own section of group finder or something. Like 'Service finder' section though that sounds kind of dirty, but meh. The boosting service spam in trade chat is far more annoying and disruptive than the advertising in group finder. Another option would be making the in-game communities a functional tool that doesn't cap at a measly 1000. 1k is fine for some things but not for a lot of others, create in-game tools to accomplish community driven things.
Finally something's happening. Those guys are getting really cocky. I saw someone advertise RMT carry services in dang trade chat yesterday
If this is true, thank you blizz! I searched for a 15 key this weekend and about 80% of the groups in the list were all ads
This post was from a user who has deleted their account.
At last. Chat is moving too fast on high population server. With that advertising mostly. It looks like there are only boosters left in game.
Heres what I don't understand.Why can't there just be a sale tab in the dungeon finder for people to... i don't know... safely advertise in the first place.There is clearly a market for people who are interested in both selling and buying them and as long as its for gold its legit right?
I like the idea of prohibiting advertising in the standard LFG categories. But spamming trade is also not the best of things. How about a new LFG category "WTS" where ppl can post thier boost offers? It keeps Trade and standard LFG clean and it offers a good overview of currently sold boosts.
Good, now take care of the ones advertising in trade chat
Lol I've been reporting all these for the last few weeks, hoping it will lead to a beta invite (stupid I know!). Good to see it's getting through though.
I agree with the action, but what am I missing in the https://battle.net/support/article/7390 page that the Blizzard notice links to? Doesn't appear to be anything about not using Group Finder for service advertising. (I know about the 2018 blue post; I'm just wondering why the notice doesn't link to the actual rule.)
TBH I don't have a problem with people selling runs for gold, they worked for their gear and are helping people out with the gold to pay for it. If you're crafty with Badboy addon you can filter out most of the /trade chat spam also...Even though I don't raid or do M+'s I think banning addons like IO would be more helpful in the long run...
Good. SO annoying. I actually was looking for an addon that could find specific words so I didn't have to skim past the 20 in LFG last night lol
Yeah now the trade chat will be plagued by key sellers... Why blizzard cant put a tab for services in the LFG? It will be make everything easier for people selling and it will not annoy people who is not interested in their services.
