Guild Wars 2

Anyone know what constitutes “excessive messaging”? I’ve been throttled for one message every few minutes, while others just spam chat repeatedly. Just trying to understand the rules.

When you have used up twice of your monthly quota for SMS.

If you’re trying to form a group using LFG etc in map chat, you’re gonna have a bad…. suppressed due to excessive typing

Actually, tonight I was trying to organize in WvW. Guess ANet wants to keep Ferg down.

Excessive messaging is repeating exactly the same message more than a couple times in a few minutes. Just vary the message a little. For example “GLF3M FotM” and “FotM LF 3 more”. Works for me.

Thats gold! ROFL

Not one message was a repeat. There must be something else going on.

The only thing I can definitely verify is posting the same message into the same chat channel without any changes – doing so 3 times suppresses you, apparently regardless of the amount of time between messages. I posted the same LFM message once every five minutes, and was suppressed at that point.

I would intuitively assume that there’s an additional suppression factor based on number of posts in a short timeframe regardless of message content. Then again, I would have intuitively assumed that posting something once every five minutes is not excessive messaging…

That why I see groups advertise for Fracticles? >_>
