Merchant Archive

People who AFK macro their wares at every major hub in the galaxy? I mean sure I understand them wanting to advertise thats fine. But when you do it ALL DAY LONG when you aren't there that goes against the EULA.



Also spamming the same thing every 5-10 seconds is annoying at best. When I get off the shuttle at the MO and try to peddle my wares for example. Anything I advertise is lost as soon as I hit enter. Buried beneath 15-20 AFK Spammers.



We as master merchants should not have to play second fiddle to someone who hasn't spent any points in merchant at all. I know I am singing to the choir on this, but it gets so dang annoying.



What can be done to persuade SOE to enforce the rules they created? Would it be ok for a merchant to ruin another profession simply by afk macroing? Of course not.



Anyone else wish they would enforce this?

I could swear that when barker-droids were put in anyone afk spamming more than the droids (once a minute?) could be reported, and then theoretically a CSR would "deal" with them. For instance on Gorath there was an afk spammer called Burbo in Coronet, and I could swear someone said they had him booted for his macro at one time. Of course this could just be a memory from a wishful dream. One time I deleted my ignore list just to see what it would be like, and then I had to go through the work of just recreating it all over again.

I miss Burbo.

actually me and a few of my merchant friends enjoy AFK spammers and barker droids. what we do is make a game out of it. when the AFK spammer or droid sais somethign we will all type "FAKE MERCHANT! HE DOESNT WANT BUISNESS HE WANTS MONEY!" so NO ONE can see where the vendor is located.....unless they scroll up 40 messages.

But ya it does get tiresome. So please SOE wack off the spammers... just make it so you cant say something less then once every 2 minutes. And there has to be a god damn word limit, i HATE long spammers.

I don't have a problem with people spamming their goods in front of the starportsas long as they conform to the same rules as barker droids... only in /say, limited to 128 characters, and repeating no more than once every 60 seconds. I've actually found some pretty good shops from this kind of spam personally.

What makes me angry is the idiots in MO spamming "Give me a god damned group, NOW!" every 5 seconds, ad nauseum and the jokers invarious starports yelling strings ofrandom characters once every half second. That kind of garbage does no good for anyone.

I really think all the spam should be in the auction channel but I'm afraid most people don't even realize it's there.

There's an auction channel?

i feel like im the only one who put all the channels into a new custom channel.
