Gold Seller Channel Invites Getting VERY Annoying

Has anyone tried posting this in the CS forums? I mean they do seem to engage the playerbase more than in the general discussion forums.

Hmmm. Wonder how many of those are the OP’s alts?

The irony…

Seriously. Why is that there??

Then you’re not getting invites. Even when blocked you’ll get xyz invited you to channel abc… It is grayed out, and you don’t get the pop up.

It’s a minor inconvenience

But a stupid one. Nothing and no one else you block or ignore pops up in your chat.

There’s an option in the games menu to block chat channel invites.

They know. Their issue is it still shows up in chat. Omegalul. I know.
They don’t want to help by reporting. They won’t /ignore. So all I see is complaining. Just to complain.
Think maybe paid inflammatory posters to cause dissent?

Oh no someone said something I don’t like in chat in an online game!

You guys serious?

Yeah, no. If you are invited to a channel and you have invites blocked, you get a 3 line notification in your chat, complete with the goldselling website address that you wanted to not see.

And the irony continues…

Yes, and those mods boot the thread to the website bugs forum, never to be seen again.

The chat invite block option should be on by default.

Read the thread.

Even worse is that this isn’t a vanilla feature. Back in the day you would simply ask your guild to join whatever chat channels you wanted whether they were tanks or healers or guild mages. They can just disable this with ease and the overwhelming majority of the community wont care.

Instead this is an ‘unimportant issue’. Basically gold sellers get easy advertising for awhile until they’re banned. And perhaps a year from now after the gold sellers are well established blizzard will try to introduce the WoW token again to fix the ‘problem’.

Agreed.

That is my suspicion as well.

What’s the proper way to report these gold sellers? I usually report them as “cheating“ and in the comments I say “gold seller”.
Does anyone knows if this is good enough?

Interface options < Social < Block Chat Channel Invites

You’re Welcome.

Read the full post next time. You still get spammed “you blocked this chat channel” in your chat box. It doesn’t fix the problem.

Not reading chat fixes that problem. The annoying thing about the invites is the window they pop up. Blocking chat channel invites fixes that.

“Don’t want to be annoyed by gold sellers? Just pretend they don’t exist while they spam your chat box.” Oh that’s real genius. The pop up and the chat is just as annoying. Especially since this problem is over 2 months old and blizzard hasn’t fixed this easily fixable problem.
