Regarding WTS/WTB change:
It's about time! - Greven 21:37, 23 May 2006 (CDT)


 * It didn't last long - they found several ways around it in just a few minutes. They can't claim laziness or ignorance anymore, takes intention to annoy now. --- Barek (talk &bull; contribs) - 00:26, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * It's not even smart enough to block "W T S" zzzzz --Karlos 00:31, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * If it blocked "W T S" what makes you think people wouldn't find a way around that? "Selling" and "WT$" are other options I can think of right now. Heck, maybe you don't need to use the word at all depending on your wording. So, it's not really a spam filter in that way imo, it's just a help for those who aren't intentionally trading in !All chat. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.203.49.21 (talk &bull; contribs) 02:29, May 24, 2006.


 * Can't really blame them. Arena Net took the extremely lazy way out instead of giving us the long promised improved trade system. It was completely predictable (and predicted) that people would find a way around any textual hack. 149.9.0.25 00:34, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I say just ban anyone who works around it and spams the main chat with it. --Rainith 00:36, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Agree with ban. In the past there might be innocent accidents.  Not any more. -PanSola, LAFTable(sing) 00:57, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Unless Arena Net is able to conjure up an army of GMs monitoring every district in every outpost, enforcement will be scant, at best. And I doubt they will be handing out bans to their customers for such minor infractions. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.90.179.108 (talk &bull; contribs) 23:02, May 23, 2006.
 * I think they can handle it like the abuse reports, and start by giving some ppl warnings. Then a one-week ban on some cases.  That should be enough to scare most ppl into behaving, expecially since they cannot use accidents as an excuse and pretend Anet might wrongfully ban someone. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 01:14, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I like people who assume this was the long awaited trade update. Guys, grow up. This is obviously not the long awaited trade improvement update but an update to try to address the trade spam issue in local towns. Now that traders cannot claim ignorance I will be reporting those who intentionally bypass the filter put in place. --Draygo Korvan 09:30, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * During the first couple of days of Factions, there were Moderators in the larger towns who were letting people know not to use the main chat for trades. I don't see why they can't go back to something like that.  Those of us that have played for some time know that there are certain towns and outposts that see more trade than others (Lions Arch, HzH, Cavalon, Droknar's Forge).  Place a Moderator in these towns, slap people's wrists for a couple of weeks, and the tendency to use main chat for trade will diminish.  Overall, I agree, something more needs to be done.--Xis10al 17:37, 24 May 2006 (CDT)

Lag
When they said that they fixed the lag in towns, did they mean that they increased it tenfold? Ugh. 69.231.19.219 00:45, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Before this patch I noticed the lag was already cured for most of the towns that formally had it. Like Cavalon, Maatu Keep, and House zu Heltzer. [[Image:Chuiu Me Icon.png]] (T/C)  00:48, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
