Gold sellers adding me to battle.net.(1)Category: GeneralDecember-2-2013 8:44 AM PST (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hello,

I might not have been the only one, but since I started playing Diablo 3 (about a week ago). I'm getting constant friend requests from gold vendors. It just keeps on going. I'm getting them in WoW now aswell.
How are they adding meto battle.net and how can I stop this? Reporting them everytime but they seem to get back more and more.

Greetings,

Ben

Report, report, report. It really is the best weapon against this kind of thing. It's frustrating beyond belief, I know, but each report helps us make it better in the long run.

You guys keep reporting on your side, and we will continue to bring it up as an issue on our side. That, for now, is the best I can say. I can be quite naggy when I want to be, and when it comes to issues of gold sellers, I definitely want to be.

Sure, it's all about action and I realise the words of a rockingbackandforthtiger probably don't hold a lot of weight on their own. We will be passing it along again this week and will be sure to highlight this thread.

Just going to quote something said by Vaeflare over on the US forums:

When we log in to play Diablo III, we experience much of the same frustrations you’re describing here, and indeed: in-game spam sucks.

The short version is that this is actually quite a complex issue, as Blaten13 noted. We’ve had some successes and some failures, and it’s possible we may never be able to get rid of in-game spam completely. It’s not really something you can fix once and never have to pay attention to again (since spammers continually evolve their arsenal of clever tricks in order to promote their wares and services). Regardless, we know that receiving in-game spam is annoying and we’re committed to keep trying new solutions, understanding that they may not always be 100% effective. In the end, our goal is to curb as much bad behavior as possible, while still ensuring that legitimate players can freely connect and chat with their friends.

In the meantime, please do report spam friend requests to us so that these reports can be reviewed ASAP by the appropriate teams, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on any and all news we have regarding this subject.
