Hi peeps,
I mean this is worse than PUBG at this stage, but the chats are ALWAYS just getting spammed with Chinese chatter now on EU. It's ridiculous, you can't chat at all with other people that are actually from the EU without having to stop and scroll up for 5 seconds to get pass all the Chinese crap. Like cmon...
It is spambots. The worst part of it is the worst of the offenders does eventually gets blocked. They change the number at the end of their name and right back at it. It looks to be the same message it was 2 years ago too. All you can really do is right-click their name and report and ignore. Watch and you will see a LaoDi-xx (xx is the number).
I am an I.T. admin for a living. I spend part of my work week adjusting our email filters. It doesn't take long at all and you start to see a commonality between various emails and can block on that pattern alone since the sender will just change their username eventually. I just have a hard time believing that they couldn't do SOMETHING to proactively block it instead of currently it is only reactive. I mean, right now they post on a timer. No one can hit the exact time every time. So, they could do something like after 10x posts with the same interval, temporarily block it. If while it is temporarily blocked, they try to post the same message 10 times, then permanently block it. Personally, I would limit the number of posts. Does ANYONE that actually plays the game ever message more than, say 200 times in a day? One could perhaps even have words excluded from the count such as LFG or each of the mission names, etc. What results is the actual players use it less and less which then shows even more how high the percentage is of these $@#@!%#% spammers.
The really sad part is that people pay these spammers. It is a pay for play service to level up your character for a fee. It'd be like someone getting a girlfriend, then paying someone else to **** her.If people quit paying them, they'd eventually quit posting.
