I've found multiple yellows from the chests with 186 MF with 5 stack NV buff. I know it got nerfed but I've still gotten yellows. Then again there are several times I've opened one and only gotten blues. It's really about 50/50.
Like another poster said, you're "solutions" Will do nothing besides hinder spammers for a little bit, but grievance regular players for the entire time they play.
I'm fine with hindering them. They annoy the hell out of us so why not slow them down and making it harder and more annoying for them to spam their virus filled websites of garbage.
I wish they'd just copied the chat UI they used in WoW, I liked how i could make separate trade/guild/whisper tabs to filter through the endless waves of chat.
Agreed. Something def needs to be done to the chat system. Until something is done, I'll be forced to use 3rd party programs to talk to people in the game.
Hopefully this gets viewed by someone who can do something about it. Just wondering how/if we can stop the gold spammers in general chat. Its insanely annoying to be talking in party or in a private conversation and then have your all of your replies and responses moved way up the list by the 40 lines of text that the gold spamming websites use. You then have to scroll up and find what your friend just said back to you then scroll back down and type your response and hope the same thing doesn't happen to them.
Few suggestions.
1) Make a level cap on being able to talk in general/trade/looking for group or any other channel that will display to everyone. Make it to where you have to be, lets say, level 10 to start talking in those channels. Gold spammers do not take the time to level a character. They just make the account and start spamming knowing that it will soon be dealt with and removed. Also, if your not level 10, you really shouldn't be talking in general anyways as you probably don't have anything worth reading. Could make it to where as long as long as any toon you have is level 10 or higher you can talk in those channels, not just the toon your on. I think this is the best option.
2) Make it to where if you list more then "X" amount of lines of conversation in the channel in "X" amount of time, you are instantly flagged for spamming and possibly booted and those last . For example, say 8 lines of text within 15 secs gets you kicked off and flagged for spamming. I know there are some people out there who are very active and talk alot in these channels so this could get complicated. Also, the gold spammers would just slow down their assault so this wouldn't exactly stop it.
3) This is a simple one. Any new character created without any vowels in the name cannot talk in public channels. Most gold spammers just use a name like "qwfttqwttq" or "dsfgshsfg".
4) Make it to where you have to complete quest "X" to start talking in general chat channels. This could be set at whatever quest you choose and could be like a quest reward when you complete the quest. Could make this a reward for killing the skeleton king even. Or, go even further and make it to where you must complete the game in Normal mode, or Nightmare to start talking in general chat channels.
5) This is really an add on to the chat interface overall. Not how to stop the gold spammers. Make it to where when you get a private message, it opens a little tab at the top of the chat window that you switch to to start talking to that person. That way, you won't be scrolling way up to find their response because of the mass amount of text in the general chat has clogged it all up. Should make party chat and private messages a completely seperate chat tab.
These are just a few suggestions. Hopefully if it will not stop the gold spammers it will atleast slow them down.
