[Shatteredstar]

This is definately an issue, it really feels like theres more gold/powerlevel spam then there is actual playing/talking.

I logged in and it was literally CONSTANT spam text.

It totally kills the want to play when you see that.

If there was a known few characters who kept spamming, then probably sending screenshots to GM's would be a good idea, but because there are so many bots/spammers around, GM's would be spammed with screenshots of gold spammers if everyone sent their screenie, [ironic].

Issue noted, solution on its way ;)

Another annoying thing with gold spammers are their farming / powerlvling bots.
They KS everyone who enter their area, and sometimes they're at quest mobs spawn.
In non aggressive areas, they're solo (like forest of mist), but in higher lvl zones, they're a solid group. There were 2 clerics and 3 fighters yesterday in Moonlight Tomb. GMs need to do something against them also and not let them grow up (judging by their armors, fighters were at least lvl 30).

I see, well thanks for the reply anarchy_ hopefully this gets fixed soon, (perhaps a silence put on anyone who spams the same wording more then a certain number of times?) I know silences are temp but it would slow em down.

I love the way you cropped up the picture. I think if more people did this and sent reports, along with the picture, to GMs that it would assist in faster removal of them from the area.

Again, awesome work. I can only wish I could do something like that.

I don't see any reason to leave it huge, right next to her is the guard guy and the mass of people bashing to get into KQ. I screened her got in my KQ and after that cropped to post. If I left the mass of people in there it would just be huge stretch the page no one wants to see that and it lags many computers that run slow and just takes up so much space in a e-mail or PM (unless PM's don't work that way here?) Besides its her day to be in the spot light not some knights that just happened to get caught in the snapshot ;)

It's because of them that there is no chat, as you can not read anything as it dissapears before you get the chance, this is one of the ways that gold spammers kill games.:mad:

[ASCIIrider]

The GM's are well aware of it and Outspark is taking steps to remedy it.

Read GM Break's post here on it. http://www.outspark.com/fiesta/forums/showthread.php?p=84669#post84669

[AraunasGirl]

Normally I can stay relatively on top of them, but today I was out sick. Sorry guys!

[AraunasGirl]

Oh err I guess I should post I'm a Teva use when I say that? (maybe your a Teva GM I'm not sure I know Dakkon cause I've seen him ingame.)

Yes, we're all sick of gold selling farmers.

Sometimes, I wonder if they're sick of spamming themselves :eek:

Lets hope the bots overheat and melt or something ...

[LostDEwind]

Actually, i think instead of punishing this spammer...
Maybe Outspark need to do something about this powerlevel/spamminggold website...
because even players send all the spammers to GM...
the spammer just need to create one more character... just a few minute they start spamming again...
or one suggestion from me:
Why dont Outspark or GM delete or froze the account of "Talk Host Show"
Although I know it is quite unfair but mostly nearly 99% of "Talk Host Show" are the spammer, normal player dont need to shout every second dont they?:cool:

[LostDEwind]

Secondly my suggestion is maybe Outspark could do something about the website...

because the spammer actually already offended the Terms of Service & Privacy Policy when ppl sign up for the account.

Terms of Service & Privacy Policy:

Prohibited Actions:

1. Reproduce, distribute, publicly display or perform, translate, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, deconstruct, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble in any manner any OUTSPARK Game or any portion thereof, including but not limited to any character, graphic, associated software or proprietary communications protocol used by the software or any utilities, applications, emulators or tools derived therefrom;

well... for selling gold already offended this rule

3. Upload, post, email or otherwise transmit through any OUTSPARK Game any material that: (i) is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; (ii) you do not have a right to transmit under any law or contractual or fiduciary relationship (e.g., inside information, proprietary information from an employer or confidential information subject to a nondisclosure agreement); (iii) infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other party's proprietary rights; (iv) is unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional material, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation; or (v) contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;

and... the spammer keep spamming :p
it is harassing, annoying and will affect the fair of Fiesta

4. Harm minors in any way;

For "Bot" and Spammer they not just harm minor but major =.=


Besides they also offended the rules of Price and Payment...
By being making profit from fiesta...
Well... Online game not charity activity profit is unavoidable, but the point is there are making money through "fiesta" this "tool"... By being not participate in Game develop, maintain and so on....

[anarchy_]

Do something about the website? How do you mean?

Gold sellers arent advertising on Fiesta Forums, only ingame. The problem isnt identifying rule breakers, the problem is finding a long term solution to keep a lid on them.

[LostDEwind]

So... Overall my suggestion is "斩草不除根,春风吹又生"... :p
The meaning is to cure/control a problem we not just act when it occur we need to find the source of it...

Why it happen?
Well... because the want to earn some money?
Or rules of Fiesta not strict enough to control this situation?

But i think the main reason is...
Because there are some palyers are buying "service and goods" from them, if there is no demand then there will no spammer...

Or the money is to hard to earn for buying equip from NPC?
Then we should need something there is cannot be trade for being the main trading tools, like fame points...
There are games like this, to control the similar situation, to buy equip u need fame(cannot trade) + money(can trade)...
But this game's fame is hard to earn...

[LostDEwind]

Well... true they are not spamming on forum...
But the rules included "in game" ... and they are spamming in game...

But... due to lack of edvidence i think it also hard to do something...

[anarchy_]

There is also plenty of evidence, that isnt a problem either. And because its companies that the botters are advertising for, its much easier to identify the main culprits, whereas if it were shady individuals not advertising publicly, then they would be harder to catch.

The *main* reason gold sellers are here, is because they can make money from Fiesta, because players buy their gold. Is it right? Is it wrong?

[LostDEwind]

Yeah, what you said is right...

[anarchy_]

Read your PM.
