online anti casino petitionFollow

I am certain that Sony will ignore any such petition. They stated their viewpoint clearly when they added their own aborted attempt at a casino. Players are welcome to run a casino if they wish, although Sony warns that they neither support them, nor reimburse in the case of a scam. This was in the casino patch message, which also included a tidbit regarding the 4 stalls near the game casino in which players could set up shop to help clear the spam from other zones.

However, the ignore list is generally up to the task of filtering out these individuals. I find that when my list fills up those at the beginning have already gone on to create new casinos, and I am rarely spammed by the same person twice. It may be annoying, but /ignore does help.

Good Luck

Although I'm not a fan of casinos by a longshot, they do hold value in separating a fool with some of his money. Way too much money in EQ to begin with.

Consider using a Filter in the options box when going to the Bazaar. Much of the OOC and Shout traffic isn't worth reading anyways, so just click on the filter button. Makes life much quieter.

I believe you can also filter out "other" messages. I am curious though. What spam are you having problems with? The shouts/ooc? Or the randoms themselves?

If you're in the bazaar, just filter out all but /auction channels. Um. If it really bothers you, filter out everything. What the hell are you doing looking at the spam anyway? The only reason people send out their wares in one channel or another is to try to get you to buy from them instead of someone else. Odds are, their price is higher then someone eles' as well. When I go to the bazaar, I completely ignore the spam. I've never once bought something because someone yelled it out, no matter what channel they used. I take my time. I look at lists of stuff for sale. I price compare. You are completely defeating the entire purpose of the bazaar if you're looking at shouted lists of goods in order to find something to buy. That's called impulse buying. The folks selling their wares are relying on folks doing that instead of taking their time and actually using the features of the bazaar to find the best deal.


Sheesh. If I wanted to wade through pages of folks shouting out their wares, I'd go back to the old EC tunnel days. Why on earth do that now when you've got a nice gui that allows you to look up the prices of everything in the bazaar, and is completely unaffected by any spam? Heck. When I go to the bazaar, I ignore all the zonewide channels as a matter of course. That way I don't miss the all important guildchat (which is much more interesting btw). Dunno. YMMV...
