Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed an increase lately in people trying to sell gold from “WWW.GW2MALLS.COM”. It’s frustrating seeing the same account spamming in LA for hours with nothing done, then when that account gets banned, another one pops up. I’ve been reporting 2-3 characters per day for spamming and gold selling, but it’s hours or sometimes a day or two before you don’t see it anymore.

My suggestion is to have a tool to look for “WWW.GW2MALLS.COM” in chat (mostly Map but maybe local also) and immediately flag that account for review. Not immediate ban, as there could be people that use that to recommend others report the account, and that wouldn’t be fair. Also, by having the phrase flagged, if they change domains, it would be fairly simple after a couple reports to just change the flag to the new domain.

Mentioning the site name on forum is as good as advertising it. I’d suggest that you edit your post to remove the website name.

Apart from that, I am irritated with gold sellers too. And specially because I keep getting mails from them. I have reported them everytime but it doesnt look like they can be stopped.

They will just change the URL

I mention it only as the most common gold seller, not as trying to advertise. I think that taking the url out would obscure the search term recommended, and make my suggestion worthless. I mention in my original post that once such tool is in place, they can adapt it when the domain changes, as it already has once.

Is there a free trial going on right now? Typically they come out of the wood work like crazy when there is. Just report then block, they will be gone in a couple hours.

Even if they had you search tool it probably will still take them an hour or so to ban the person. We just have to deal with it while free trails are going on.

There’s no free trial right now.
