BIG PROBLEM - USER's SPAMMING WORLD With Scripted Auto-Promote Vice Host SCRIPT

[RiverBummer]

This is a HUGE GAME DESIGN PROBLEM that needs to be nipped in the bud with a few lines of software code change.

There's a LOT of loner and adolescent/immature troll personalities on these games doing everything they can to be "Spoilers" to get attention and some macabre pleasure out of upsetting everyone on the Relm. As you know every time a Host promotes a new Vice-Host (or demotes self and elevates another a full REALM message is sent out: "[TYNON] PlayerName of <GuildName> was promoted to Vice-Host of the <GuildName>"

This goes on not only on the Realm Channel but also at the TOP OF THE CLIENT in everyone's face (SPAM to interfere with clicking the upper portions of Noble Lady event in particular).

They are apparently using Mouse AutoClickers set up to run down a list of alt account spoof names in their small annoyance-troll guild to flash SPAM this message out every 1-2 seconds with a new name. The names are picked to lampoon in-game top players and to insult, denigrate and slander them (against The Terms of Service [TOS]) agreement). The game software needs some user way to filter or block or throttle this all back. This user in particular should be banned for life.

We see this non-stop now 24/7 on server #30 "Rains of Chak" by an adolescent deviant player named "JoinLevith" as HOST to his spam guild called Leviathan2. He is doing this to recruit players, to annoy and upset PvP play and Noble Lady play and to mock players. We often see something like this to mock top players from other top guilds: "Sally-SlutsForGems of Leviathan2 was promoted to Vice-Host of the Leviathans2" followed by "JohnThePimp of Leviathan2 was promoted to Vice-Host of the Leviathans2" followed by a long litany of insulting names he invents from alt-accounts over and over ad nasium.

At least in world messaging one has to use a perishable horn and it can self throttle the message SPAM. But this can't be throttled back since its an automatic "free" system provided message anytime leadership of a guild changes.

WE NEED THIS FIXED ASAP - its just demoralizing and destroying the fun of the game.

All it would take is a limit on so many transmissions per day of this sort - say no more than 2-3 per 6 hrs (cool down period per message).
Or give the guild leader a half dozen or so "Guild" or "Realm" level tokens that exhaust as used.

PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP and ban these abusive players.

The irony is I suspect Tynon is adding all the more servers to accommodate "the high user demand" when in fact its just a few miscreants spamming your servers maliciously with fake activity that is locking up the servers and creating annoyances and we don't have enough players to get a healthy guild cross competition to offset the one dominant guild.

I have informed the admins regarding this issue.

In the meantime I suggest you block the accounts. I know it's only for 24 hours but Internet trolls thrive on knowing they're annoying people and your best defence is to pretend they don't exist.

It seems they have actually implemented a block that lasts longer than 24 hr. If you look in your friends list in game you'll see there is now a blocklist. You can manage your blocks from there, but I do beleive that these banners from the guys guild message would still pop up regardless of whether hes blocked or not being as it utilizes the guild announcement feature. I am VERY happy with the addition of the blocklist, so Kudos to tynon devs for that. I was able to block a person and it was still there 3 days later, so it seems there may be the option to permanently block now I hope there is something that can be done about the guild messages tho that sure would be annoying.

What server is this happening on?

What server is this happening on?

It was 24/7 on server #30 "Rains of Chak" by an adolescent deviant player named "JoinLevith" as HOST to his spam guild called Leviathan2.

They seem to have stopped this morning so far - so don't know if Tynon opened up a can of whoop-ass on him or his mom and dad took away his PC for the day.
I don't know why he's not perma banned and can only hope that Tynon puts in place features to stop this permanently since the word is out now and there will surly be copy cats.

Blocking will only prevent chat it will not block the free automatic system level message provided by the game server anytime there is a new change of Vice Host in the guild anymore so than it will stop the auto-announce of someone making a new winning streak or defeating a win streak in the arena. We really need some way to turn off the server level announcements from our clients since it really interferes - especially when trying to click on Noble Lady when she is in positions high on the screen and map..

Thanks boroeast

Not a problem.

Hopefully, Tynon will take care of this issue.
