So THIS is what Disney has to say about ABASSA SPAMMERS.

[tayseth]

I went on Live Chat yesterday to talk about a lot of stuff, one of them being emote spammers. This is what they had to say.


Me: Alright, I wanted to talk about spammers. You've probably have seen these emote spammers, correct?
LC: We are sorry these people are bugging you. Please send a report to Disney via Send a bug report.
Me: Well actually, I wanted to ask if you guys were in the process of fixing the spammer glitch, because i know you guys always fix all of your other glitches. All the time.
LC: Yes, we do everything to make Potco a fun experience for everyone!
Me: Yeah. all that. Anyway, I was just wondering because these people make Abassa not fun at all.
LC: We are sorry that they are annoying you, but there is not much to do besides report it.
Me: You know what im talking about, right? These people use a combination of quick cancel and pasting to send out emotes 20 times per 3 seconds. I was just wondering if people are working on fixing it.
LC: If people keep sending in bug reports about it, the dev team is sure to look into it.
Me: So if people keep complaining about this annoying, exploitable glitch, THEN you guys will look into it?

I know exactly what you're talking about, and it's rather annoying. I don't see them ever fixing that though, so I just tend to avoid Tortuga on Abassa.

About the only thing they can do is add a "***Spamming***" thing for emotes as well. It would make sense if that was put in in the 1st place...

My favorite part (emphasis mine):

LC: Yes, we do everything to make Potco a fun experience for everyone!
Me: Yeah. all that. Anyway, I was just wondering because these people make Abassa not fun at all.

Not be be a total pain, but will ending emote spamming make Abassa any more fun? Abassa has a tarnished reputation already. There are many other servers where this isn't an issue.

I think that the guy on Live Chat was just saying "If you send in a bug report about something, we'll make sure to look in to it." No need to attack him/her.

[Jamesvsthekraken]

That just sounds mean. :'( :/

[titanic95594]

Aye I see people saying "cheers!" like 10 times every 2 seconds.

abassa tortuga can be entertaining if you dont mind a headache XD

[Eliza Creststeel]

Tay, the person was merely expressing the standard procedure. But, the replies seem really antagonistic...

"because i know you guys always fix all of your other glitches. All the time.... Yeah. all that. Anyway, I was just wondering because these people make Abassa not fun at all... So if people keep complaining about this annoying, exploitable glitch, THEN you guys will look into it?"

He's a customer service dude sitting at a terminal.

I thought the same thing EC.

I know, and thats why it was FUNNY. Sadly for us, its the only communication that we have with disney (Besides sending e-mails into the black hole. And we all know how that turns out.)

I'll go back on chat with them tomorrow and talk about spammers in a less agitated tone.

One of the things I remember from our whole chat (The part i quoted was the answer to my question) was when we were discussing the topic afterwards. She said that if people don't like it, you should get them to send bug reports.

I responded with "I'm not sure I know many friends who like their chatbox spammed 20 times a second."

It was admittingly funny, but Live Chat is our only response on these spammers at the moment.

I never got to abassa, so never had the prob.
lol Tayseth next time you use live chat post what you and the live chat worker said.

[WitchdoctorDan]

I don't like how you treated this live chat guy like he's a dev...
He pretty much has a template of things to say, and probably gets asked the same question all the time. No, he's not very helpful, but when you discover that just leave him alone.

Originally, I didnt have a problem with the emote spammers. Although that changed when i had an experience with one the other day on Abassa or Andaba.

I was just doing some recruiting for my guild with a few officers, when this one guy started spamming. I guess it never bothered me before because I was just passing through the area, but this time I was trying to talk to my guild. When me and a few other people told him to stop, he just said something like YOU CANT MAKE ME! Then he kept going on and on, eventually about 7 people started yelling at him to stop, and he finally left... after a big argument... lol he even said he could beat me in a pvp.... that woulda been fun, seeing as Im a lv 50 and he was lv 17....

Anway, best thing they can do is add a ***Spamming*** message to emotes like Andrew said.

Please don't use the Live Chat for submitting complaints. Live Chat is meant to be used to help people with immediate technical problems.

Use the ingame "report" feature to submit complaints against spammers and other rude people.
