If it isn’t created now or on the To-Do list, A filter system needs to be created for both Chat and the Mail system. It can be used to help block gold Ads, Which is starting to get very annoying.

One Idea is having a filter system that if some key words posted in either Chat or in the Mail match a List, ( Such as “Cheap Guild Wars2 Gold”) the Message or Mail will not be displayed.
Similar to the Bad word system currently in place, but completely removes the message instead of dotting out the word.

If you make it client side and allow the users to add words to the filters, it can help block not just Gold Ads, but other things being spammed a lot in Map Chat that might annoy the player.

Something has to be done about these crazy gold ads, and soon IMO, It’s getting really annoying. Especially when I log in and have like 5 Mails telling me to buy gold. The Mail system is limited, so it makes it even more annoying.

Thanks for reading
