Guild Wars 2

So I have an idea: when a mail or chat box comment receives, say, 15 reports, have an automated system check for anything that could look like a gold-selling website and blacklist it. Then, substitute the website’s name with “kitten” every time it’s posted in the future from then on.

Then, put in some code so that gold sellers can’t substitute “dotcom” for “.com” and “0” for “o”

Of course, a whitelist is needed so that websites such as google and yahoo aren’t replaced, but that’s pretty simple to do :P

What would this do? Well, it would force gold sellers to continue to buy new domain names for their gold-selling websites and cut into their profits… also, it would be entertaining to see gold sellers spamming: “Welcome to Kitten. we offer gold for low price” over and over again.

+1; I keep being sent mail with a link to gold seller websites and thinking all they have to do is block the name of the site from appearing in any message. I do report it, but nothing ever happens. They could use a data mining algorithm to search for suspicious websites references from large numbers of reports. Of course, it’s very easy to search for gold seller websites on line and I think a better solution is to find a way to modify the game so gold selling is impossible, though I don’t have any suggestions for how that would be implemented.
