I’m not sure if this is the place for this, but I just want to share something I have noticed when I logged into GW2 an hour ago. So I was doing some dungeon runs with random people when all of a sudden I get these annoying as heck gold sellers that keep spamming pms to me. Most of the time, I’d just block then report to Anet which is fine, but then earlier during my dungeon run, after I blocked one, another one immediately pmed me, so I did the same thing….. then another one… and another one… AND ANOTHER ONE. This is getting seriously annoying, especially when they fill up the chat during some dungeon/wvw runs and waiting for other people’s chat.

I have same problem. I have never tried to buy gold from these sellers and I will never try, but they keep spamming me. There was period when I did not get these spams at all, but now it totally has gone too far.
I checked my chat box and it tells me that during 25 minutes time period I got total of 8 spam messages from gold sellers. Each of these messages uses 8 text lines, which takes too much space on the Main chat tab. They all also sent me the exact same message and advertising same website.
Another thing I notice on these sellers it that; months ago I used to get randomly spam from account names that made no sense, like someone had just smashed their keyboard when creating account. Now all the spam I get is from account that could be someones real nickname in online game…

I log into this game to play the game, not to constantly report these spammers.

I can totally agree with what OP said. I also run dungeons and these spams disturb my gameplay.

block them all, report them. that’s really all there is to do.

…it would be pretty neat if there was a way to subscribe to a block-list of confirmed spammers!

Hi everyone,

The forum is not the place for such issues to be discussed.

If you witness any of Gold Selling while playing, please report them using the in-game ticketing system so our Customer Support team can properly investigate the issue.

Thank you.
