Guild Wars 2

I keep getting the message, “Your message was suppressed due to excessive messaging” even not doing anything even remotely close to excessive or spam. I’m not repeating the same sentence or words. This is completely preventing me from communicating in public channels.

To give you an idea of how bad this is I was talking with another player in /say and made 5 (uniquely worded) messages between 11:17 and 11:22 and then I said NOTHING for 8 full minutes and when I tried to say something in /say again at 11:30 it was suppressed for “excessive messaging”. Seriously?

This is ludicrous. I understand the desire to prevent spamming or gold sellers and I applaud that effort but to go to this kind of arbitrary extreme..and prevent people from even communicating (in a game that IMO suffers from group activity/communication already) this seems like a really bad idea and it’s very irritating. I found some other messages about this from months ago so this doesn’t seem like a new issue.
