Noted, 5th slot was the one couldnt figure out.

[Doombear]

Yeah, I spend the first 10 minutes blocking people then after that I don't get any spam. Every couple of hours a new name shows up.

Yeah same here. I often switch to my legion chat frame if I am grinding though so it always a facekick when I switch back an hour or two later to spam wall.

A legionmate of mine was told (when he called about a problem with CE upgrade) that they are working on it.

Apparently RMT is doing something new and most are not IN the actual game client... But rather running some kind of privately created client. That seems to be the main issue with stopping it.

Yeah, I remember when chat stopped working but everything else in the game was fine. Almost makes it seem like chat servers are a separate entity that I could see a roundabout client accessing.

[Anakron]

Right click on their name and select block. There aren't that many spammers at a time and although they do make new characters to get around people blocking them, you should be able to use it for a while.

They've actually started sending mails. So fucking obnoxious.

Thanks for the tip--I'll try it out!

[Hitoshura]

Damn server maintenance, I was only 4 bars from hitting 30. I want those WIIIINGGSS.

[Leashedragon]

I was like 1m exp away from 33. ; ; I want 34 so I can equip Weaken Spirit.

Guess it'll have to wait till later. Will probably be grinding Fire Temple a bit anyway.

Aion™ Online :: Notices - Addressing Gold Spam

While Executive Producer Lance Stites took time to address some of the most prominent issues raised in the Aion community last week, we want to specifically address another issue that is a top priority for the team here at NCsoft: in-game real money trading (RMT) advertisement, sometimes referred to as “gold spamming.” These activities are something we’re actively combating right now. They are also something you can help us with, and something that we are committed to addressing continually in the future.



We currently have Game Masters monitoring all our servers. They track chat channels closely and have been banning thousands of spammers every day. This form of active monitoring is a part of a much larger network of tools and sensors that we’re currently utilizing to help create a better game experience for the Aion community across the board.



If you’re experiencing chat spam, there is a way for you to address this immediately on your own and help us create a better gameplay experience for everyone. You can use the Block User feature. All you need to do is to right-click on a user’s name and choose to block that user. While this doesn’t eliminate the problem, it is one small step you can actively make to improve your game experience. Using Block User also helps us identify spammers much more quickly.



We are considering a number of methods to address this chat spam that have been implemented in previous games, as well exploring new technologies and what they may have to offer to improve your game experience. One upcoming feature for Aion will be an improved chat filter to help reduce the overall chat spam. This filter, along with new tracking and monitoring methods, is the first of many steps that we’ll be taking to help resolve the issue of gold spamming.



We appreciate all the feedback and ideas you have been giving us so far. We will continue to scour the communities out there for other ideas as we go. We absolutely recognize how important this is to you and a good game experience in Aion, and we reiterate that we are currently addressing it. Thank you for your patience and for all of your input.

I cant stand those chat, i made a that shows only

Xp gained/server messages/Say/shout/legion/group and Monster special atttack (it also used for PVP when finding elyos)

[Olo401]

Has everybody found the LFG channel basically unusable due to spam from RMT? At least on Lumiel, it's next to impossible to spot legit messages.

Ch3 is completely useless - I've turned it off completely on my chat tab.

[MisterBob]

Ch3 is fine, as it now only contains people intelligent enough to actually block the damn bots (which is rarer than you might think, as this thread proves...)

Bots? I'm talking about the LFG spammers! Bots are so last week..

[Ramor]

What's the easiest class to level? I'm guessing spiritmaster but what comes after that? also what's the hardest to level o_O

[Katlan]

I'd guess glad is prolly the easier since that's what 90% of the bot's use haha

[Pooky]

Any class is "easy" to level if you play it right, don't make leveling speed your reason for choosing a class. Play what you enjoy, not whatever's fotm.

FFS don't level SM unless you really enjoy it; you're just hurting your legion if you roll one for "speed."

[Lebzile]

Hardest(or rather longest) solo class would be cleric I'm guessing. Sorc, SM and Assassin are EZmode with soloing with Templar, Chanter and Gladiator in the background. Temp > chanter and glad imo though, so much survivability and able to drag mobs to your position without having to actually move to far.

[altwight]

Has anyone fought Chaos Dracus? He spawns from the Mysterious Crate inside the Kyola Temple (the room with all the Obscuras)

[Tythera]

No, but there's an assassin on vaizel that got kromede/chaos swords in the same day

[Indalecia]

Kromede book is a lie

[Tythera]

Kromede anything is a lie
