Can we get a "Paid Services" global (in town) chat channel? I'm really tired of seeing WTS Mythic+ / raid / pvp carry / visions boost / leveling boosting etc in trade chat. It's literally like the only thing you see in trade chat anymore. If and when someone does actually post something in there for trade, or otherwise is having a conversation in there its immediately blown away by all the WTS Services spam.
Why haven't we gotten some other global (in city) channels besides "Trade" seems like we should have already gotten an expansion on this. But as of late the paid services stuff has just gotten nuts since the introduction of legal gold buying.

Probably because very few people would willingly join a spam channel

People would still keep spamming trade. They are trading runs for gold, it is annoying, but most things in /trade have nothing to do with trade. The horse has been out of the barn for a long time there. Originally Posted by Gr4vitas

IMO there should be a channel or grip finder tab called “mercenary” where players can advertise and find others to hire to run them through content.

You know... Selling boosts IS trading. There is nothing wrong with that.
There are more things that aren't trading - like, smalltalk, flaming.... But selling boosts, is indeed simple trading.

And add in anything that you don't want to see in your chat, my list is pretty stupidly long. Don't forget to add in the variations people use.
But whenever you see something in chat that you don't want to see just /badboy and type in what it is you don't want to see and it's gone forever :O Do exercise caution in how you block stuff because any usage of the word blocks the whole message. If you block say "freehold" and someone says "Hey, did you guys know you can get a mount (or whatever you care about) by talking to the vendor outside the freehold instance?" it will be blocked.

I personally block the word anal to avoid those Originally Posted by Kyphael

How dare someone use the trade channel to actually sell something.

Also you know selling boosts and such is trading so it does actually fit in Trade chat. Originally Posted by Gr4vitas

Nothing stops you from creating a channel, publicizing it and helping it grow. Originally Posted by Gr4vitas

...You mean... like... a trade channel? A channel for trading?
They should just make the general chat universal for all cities.Last edited by Amnaught; 2020-03-31 at 03:09 AM.
