I know, I sound like a FanGirl, but I do like the fact that NCSoft has finally taken the time to respond to the plague of gold spammers on all the servers. Yesterday, the GMs reminded everyone in chat not to visit unofficial sites and to NEVER put your account info on any site that doesn’t belong to NCSoft. They also used the messaging system which flashes a server message in the middle of the screen for those of us who may have learned to ignore the chat window for the moment. Good job! I still love Aion, warts and all. There’s too much good to outweigh the bad. Now to figure out how to survive as a nuking mage….

I really had faith that they would come out of their cubicles in between the bajillion petitions they’re probably getting and just let us know that they’re working on it.
Don’t Play with those Shiny Hooks, Spongebob!

In the last week, phishing and spamming have been on the rise in Aion. GMs have been busy trying to weed them out and ban them as they look for new tactics.
The most annoying part of these relentless spammers is their need to write long 3-liners about their cheap fast gold and powerleveling! This makes the legitimate chat fly by before you get a chance to hear the latest Chuck Norris-ism. (Yes, they found their way from Barrens Chat to Aion.)
I write this post to ask everyone to continue reporting these spammers, and block them in-game. I am also asking, (read: begging, pleading) NCSoft to PLEASE, PLEASE do something like filter out those web sites we’ve already identified as gold sellers, give us players a right click method to report them as we see them and educate players about the dangers of buying gold and visiting spoofed sites that phish their account information.
