Hey everyone
I don't know about the other servers out there, but on darksorrow - EU we imo have some kind of a problem. Spamming and using /trade to everything else than trading, like LFM/LFGs, guild recruitment or some advice in general. It's like the LFG, guild recruitment and the general channel just got merged into the /trade cuz you can see it in every major city and dala/shatt. Sometimes I'm tempted to leave the trade channel due spam, but since i ain't a member of a guild I PuG all the time and don't wanna miss a "LFM icc10 need tank last spot". Sure, i could use the LFG channel. But hey!! That's dead!!!.
Earlier today I had a delicate cardinal ruby in my mailbox from AH (didn't got sold), I was in dala with HS on CD and didn't wanted to find a Mage so I could get to SW and put it back on AH cheaper than before. So I thought "hey, why not use the tradechannel? And I did. Made a macro and pressed it about every 4 sec. Then I got a whisper from a lvl 1 bank alt: "use AH and stop spamming". I was like, WTF? I used the trade chat properly and what it's supposed to be uses for.
So, should blizz in your opinion redesign the trade chat some way to stop the endless LFM some-random-raid in /trade?
