lol thanks. I still don’t know what I need to do to get trust level 3 on this thing.
Yes, Tichondrius bank is the same thing, it’s on multiple servers and they’re blatantly representing the same entity. This isn’t healthy to anyone playing the game.

I wonder what Tich’s trade looks like. I’m gonna go make a level 1 over there and go look. I looked at BH just now, and it’s eh not too eventful. Trade chat is usable atleast and people are semi using it least on horde side.
It’s a business that Blizzard allows to exist for a reason. That reason is Token sales, plain and simple.
Trade chat has always been full of toxic behaviour. It’s actually kind of funny how so many people who used to use trade for talking politics and trashing each other are now upset that people are using it for actual trading.
bots that are spamming ads are not players engaging in actual trading, they’re spam bots.
The boosters get paid in gold. then they sell it to the same suckers for real $$$$. It works.
Someone joins houkan, boost for a month or two, gets gold, “oh i’m done boosting sorry irl stuff came up and I can’t advertise anymore!” They take the gold then sell it, delete the account or it gets banned they don’t care, and rinse and repeat.
It’s highly plausable.
You’re complaining about it and then refuse to take the steps that would alleviate your annoyance completely because it’s not your responsibility? It’s one addon. I use one and I haven’t seen a single Huokan advertisement in over six months. Why would you NOT save yourself that annoyance?
I’m not going to say that Blizzard shouldn’t do anything to curb bad behavior like this, because they should - but good grief if it irritates you enough that you make a thread about it on the forums then just get the addon.
Or, you know, don’t. And continue to get annoyed. It’s no skin off my nose.
Gold boosters are fine. They provide us great services.

Wait so what about people multiboxing to advertise boosts? I went on two of my accounts just to monitor trade chat between the two realms. There’s at least 3 shared between both the zul’jin and tich banks that are doing it right now. One is using software with the same toon names shared across both servers (they posted advertisements at the exact same time).
Edit: make that 2.
I’ve taken the steps that you’ve mentioned, and you’re right they work, not refusing anything. But it’s still a problem that exists and should be addressed.
Despite the spam, they do provide genuine services and stick to blizz’s terms etc.
Got my ATOC from it, im cool with that

I bought my 2nd wife and 3rd girlfriend through them. Would recommend to friend and family. 10/10 - ign
what do you want to use that channel for anyway ? very little trade ever takes place on there on any server - it is mostly 'a__l" spam, political talk and trolling.
I really don’t care what blizzard does with this but I mostly object to you people complaining about it because far too often it isn’t the advertising you actually object to, it is the fact people can buy and sell carries. Normal people can just go about their business but people who have that obsession with carries being allowed any little thing bothers them.
I don’t think people should try and dictate what others do in this game.
again with the healthy business - if this affects your health get the addon or turn off trade. It doesn’t affect my health at all because I don’t go looking for things like that.
Look, at this point, them using multiple accounts with software with some of their members is against the rules. You can have more than 1 account and multibox long as it’s manual. I know I have 5 accounts.
The thing is trade used to be a place where you could actually talk, put stuff together, sell items, and you would see the occasional bit of boost adverts here and there and guild recruitment. I said earlier I don’t care if people boost or advertise but the spam is ridiculous from this 1 organization. Like 1 message every few minutes is enough to get the point across. There are at any given point, 4 toons of the same name across 4 servers spamming their advert at the exact same time every 2 to 3 minutes.
They are using software in order to advertise and they were busted with it last year. They got banned for it before, 7 days for everyone in there and about 6 months for the GM in a reddit post a while back. Wouldn’t surprise me if they got it again. They linked the script they used in that particular reddit post.
Now on your server, people use the trade chat for stuff other than boosting, like item selling asking questions, wanting to find a group etc. While I was over there, I didn’t see one political statement, or anything like that. Just “wts x y z item” that’s it and the occasional boost advert. That was it. That server has the choice to use the chat.
I would like to use the channel to sell items without having to fight with people’s addons, without having to do all kinds of crazy hoops just to see that the item I’m selling in trade chat is seen. I cannot say “WTS x y z item” anymore in trade chat on my server. Your server of bleeding hollow? It’s doable it’s medium pop and they aren’t over there like crazy.
Illidan, tich, area-52 and zul’jin all have atleast 4 toons with the exact same name (or similiar name) from houkan advertising with a message at the exact same time. I went on all 4 of my accounts and checked because when I said I would make a toon earlier on Tich to look, I saw someone with the exact same name as someone on zul’jin. So, I made a toon on each one of my accounts, arranged my wow windows in window mode, and saw how fast they were posting with each toon. All 4 would post instantly or almost instantly every 3 minutes exactly.
I have friends in starlight that boost and do I have an issue with it? No. They don’t spam adverts like crazy using 4 accounts possibly more on starter editions with game time in order to advertise.
