You should read the dev posts on this forum. Trial accounts have already been locked out from messaging anyone who does not friend them first …

They’ll find a way around it. I just have this feeling…

Good to know they’re doing something about it this time. But, I’m no Dev, but I think I see one work-around they could do. They could put one trial character in a small, yet populated area (like the divinity reach bank), and simply loop their normal chat in CAPS at certain intervals with slight variation in the text.

Aaaaaaand that’s what the report feature is for! At least it won’t be obnoxious as balls.

And even if we report them, couldn’t they just make another account and character? Like what they always do? But yeah, I agree with ya, at least it won’t be as obnoxious and reduced.

You forget the spam filter. Say the same thing a couple of times in a row and you’re locked out of chat anyway.

That’s why i mentioned “variation of the text” with a timed interval. The workaround for that is to simply add something to the phrase like, like an extra letter or number. Like say this:

“SELLING GOLD@”
“SELLING GOLD2”
“SELLING GOLD-”

And to delay the time between those phrases (say every 10 to 15 seconds). The spam filter may not register it.

It does. It picks up stuff even if you change it slightly. I’ve changed what I’ve said during events, like when the turrets came up at boom boom and still got caught in the net.

Hmmmmm… If that’s so. Maybe there really isn’t anything to worry about then.
