So since most of the goldspammers are bots anyways then i suggest that we do something not very blizzlike

how about nostalrius make a quest where we have to Learn how to talk/yell/whisper
a quest only a human can solve :) it can be done very simple ofcouse.

pls no ingame captcha

on topic: quality of life > gold spammer prevention
the same as: should characters below level X be allowed to talk in public channels?
At which point does not being able to talk in public channels outweigh not having to see gold selling advertisers?

The current way is pretty good as long as the staff manages to eliminate the last false positive bans

I'm against any changes that are outside the scope of the original game's design. Plus, this would be a poor use of development time, considering the anti spam addons we already have.

The Chinamen will just do the quest before turning the program on. Also, I'm pretty sure most of the Herro Prease me-farm-gold-or-famriy-die people manually peddle their wares.

tl;dr bad suggestion

Best method against gold sellers is not buying their shit.
Sad that there are such lowbies that do it anyway
