How about adding an option for players to filter and block out messages containing keywords? This could be a section in the options UI somewhere where you can add keywords or phrases to match and block automatically.

Why? Because nobody likes spam. Sure, you can block the players. But that doesn’t stop spam bots from messaging you on other accounts. For example, I just got spammed by like 7 different gold selling accounts within a couple of minutes. If there were a keyword/phrase filter, I could probably block any future messages they might send for a while.

Very good idea. Always block and report about these spam acaunts but it’s never enough to make all of them fall silent.

GW2 is almost a perfect MMORPG. Please, DON"T make it in such way like we are stupid.

A good idea, I could also stop seeing certain guilds’ spammy messages at that.

As for the gold sellers… we need a way to report their “scout” (an account that looks for players to message), and not just the actual spamming accounts (the ones that send aid messages). It’s actually been a while since I’ve seen one, but I remember not being able to report them because they hadn’t actually said anything; when it was obvious what they were.

Go to the heart of the mists. They are always in that place, all the time. Eeach time i go to play some pvp, i get gold spam messages few min later.
