in Aion
Is there a system in place to report them???? I already got one whispering me about it 
Comments
Well as long as everyone ignores them, they'll run out of money and see Aion as a loss. But, there are gold spammers in all MMOs, the question is, will they ruin the game?
if everyone ignores them, how can they run out of money ?
Everythink in Aion requires coin, i'm surprised they havnt charged for using emotes.
If this game is succsessfull, and belive you me it will be ( by christmas there be millions playing it ) there will be gold spammers glore.
One example....
unemployed person sits on Aion 18 hours a day & earns 100,000 to buy a epic sword.
employed person is out the house 12 hours a day earns nothink in Aion but earns $100, sits on aion spends $5 to get epic sword.
I would be surpripsed if there weren't any
I like the feature that prevents you from talking in channel chat until you are level 5. I think that this is a good way to try and deter gold spammers. While this will not stop them, I think it will at least slow them down a bit. Maybe something NCsoft could do in the future, if gold spamming becomes a problem, is raise the lvl you have to be to talk in channel chat. Raising that barrier to lvl 10 or 15 would really deter gold spammers, but it would make it a bit harder for players.
Mr. Bagguns
GMs on Lumiel gave serverwide messages that they were hunting down Gold SPammers and banning their accounts and to report any goldspammer messages you recieved.. yes you can report go to the help screeen it will tell you how.
They run out of money?
What money?
As long as people are guillable enough, other people will try to steal from them. Offering in game gold sure works, especially if you can get someone to pay for it with credit card details.
Most of the gold spammers don't even have the gold they claim to have. These also do not have any money to run out of, they pay for everything with stolen cc details.
That's quite a claim.
It will be successful, but millions? You're dreaming.
who cares, its all about them abyss points baby

2 days before I got my first gold spams this AM. WAR was before I finished the character creation =(
It seems pretty inevitable that Aion will be absolutely overrun with gold spammers.
Like someone else suggested, report them through the help selection on the menu in game. Then block them. I took the time to create a ticket about a gold spammer whispering me. I even received a response the next time I logged in that he had been banned. So they aren't ignoring the spammers.
The people you should really be upset with are the people buying the gold, items, and power leveling services that keep these roaches in business. They are the real problem. If no one bought their services, they would go away on their own.
As 'overrun' as any other popular MMO.
- RPG Quiz - can you get all 25 right?
- FPS Quiz - how well do you know your shooters?
Lol, how did you manage to get a gold spam before finishing the char creation? :P
Anyway, do they have an anonymous mode in Aion? So that I won't show up on who lists and cannot be whispered to?
Please report them to GM's
Tru in-game.
Nice im glad people are getting ban'd. Still don't get why people want to get gold, items, and power leveling. Just to get a imaginary item or lvl. Even if you don't have alot of time on your hands, whats the point? I play for fun and i think im good at PvP, just not the best rank or anything, oh well i get there slower and my ranks not high. Still have yet to see how AIONs PvP turns out though since im only lvl 11 atm
Lol that was quick for the spam bots, how did they get all that gold and stuff they are selling so soon?
Maybe if there weren't people out there actually supporting them and paying them real money, they wouldn't have been able to buy this game and spam it to death :P

Well that's just it. People get so preoccupied with becoming the best and having the best they forget to actually have fun. People are always in such a damn hurry to get to max level and get the best items. And for what? Its not like there's a time limit.

This guy posted about how they can con people into giving out their credit card details and just buy stuff with it, so some might not even have gold or whatever to sell. just stealing your info. Of course im sure they had people in bata that know bugs or the fastest way to get money allready.
Just as long as people report them, we can at least keep it somewhat at bay and hopefully curb inflation for awhile so money is still worth something.
Gold spammers already? I'm surprised it took them so long. Just ignore them, they're a part of the MMO community. Most of us here are already at peace with this fact.

I say we strike all users from the site for not being MMOs.
Im glad there are gold spammers. That means theres a reason MONEY is in the game *cough* Warhammer *cough*.
And I never understood why pple care so much. So yes it can be annoying to get spammed but you can block and report. It really reaks when they have to ruin the game because they want to prevent gold sellers. Like Runescape (which sucks so bad now it's amazing due to the gold sellers).

And I don't want to hear anything about "I don't believe in vampires" because *I* don't believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes, and what *I* saw is ******* vampires! "
Best thing a developer can do to combat gold spammers is an instant report button complete with a screen grab of the chatbox or open mail message. For some reason this has not caught on. As far as the users of these services its understandable that Joe the butcher who works 10 hours a day and plays on sunday afternoon might be tempted to buy gold or leveling services. Games like these reward time played more then anything else.

AION will have as many gold sellers as WoW had - this means thousands. So prepare for annoying tells like most of other Asian MMOs have. And nope, no way of reporting it. I guess NCSoft were hoping that they game is somehow different and didn't care about providing means of reporting gold sellers lol.
