the blackmarket chat is annoying

its made so people get more crates

when someone sees someone els whit a weapon they want they get jealous and want it to.
if you see that someone wins it every 15 seconds you get ****ed so you will buy more crates.
this way the company makes more money.

so dont think they wil remove that because it IS making them money

Uh...yeah...

AGREED - BIG TIME. It is so annoying and it does clog up the chat box and amidst some of the other spam and not to mention the actual text that you want to read, its just all around a very poor business decision they made doing this. And they are doing this for one simple reason - ADVERTISMENT.

A constant never ending bombardment of promotional advertising in an effort to get more sales and make more money. And really theres nothing wrong with that, but the way theyre doing it by continuously congesting the chat box and forcing it our face non stop is in fact a very tacky and tasteless tactic.

I dont think its so much that other players will see all these players getting items and being jealous. Im sure though that there are those that will see all these cool items and be enticed and be made more prone to go spend their money to get the crates. And thats exactly the purpose of this ridiculous spam theyve introduced.

Bottom line - Z8 PLEASE TAKE THIS OUT OF OUR GAME ROOMS. If nothing else go ahead and leave this spam up for a week or two and get your point across to all the players but after that just please take this away. Heck, even spam away in the lobby if you want, at least that way we wont be overwhelmed and distracted by it while were trying to play the game.

Thanks for the feedback. While we do want to announce winners of the crates, we agree that 'too much spam' is a bad thing.

As the rush of crates dies off some of the spam will too. However we will look in to changing the frequency of the announcements.

TY - [GM]Saidin - adjusting the frequency would have a huge impact !! As has been more than adequately said, the spam is annoying and really interfers with communicating with both teams and individuals. Personally, it makes me want to boycott further crate purchase, as it confirms what an excellent chance I have at winning weapons I already have or don't want.

Perhaps increasing the number of lines that remain displayed before chat rolls off the screen and/or increasing the time for which lines remain displayed would similarly help.

Another option would be to add a side bar to the in-game window that would allow your organization to display this type of advertising. Dispite losing critical in-game display real estate, it gives you a captive audience - as many players spend (sometimes long) portions of each game as dead spectators...

Just some ideas...

i agree it's very annoying this thing it should be removed...

Yes, it's just SO annoying
I do hope they remove it

Thankyou GM Saidin for your polite and courteous and rather quick response. And yes, please dont even lessen the frequency of it, just please take it out of our game rooms period. Again, its just very tacky and distracting, if you only lessen it, it will only just be slightly less distracting and annoying, but still a nuisance non the less.

Maybe again you guys could just consider doing it in the lobby?? Seriously, I think that will more than get your point across as everyone spends at least some amount of time there. So everyone will see it on a regular basis every time they login to play and between games. Thanks for your consideration.

this is actually quite a good idea...

...deletes everyone on friends list*

its simple

they give u no more gp and the reason why is so you have to buy whice is a rip off i do buy but not as much as i would cuz i feel the game aint free at all you get to staff sgt then they cutt ur funds off for lvling i mean heck the next 50 lvls or what ever u get nothing more more peeps should stand up and do something bout this it ruines a good game reguardless people will buy crates give the people a little and yall mite get alot.. tell me if im wrong

its alright when we r in the lobby but it gets annoying when it continues when we r in the game.

I like it , u get more famous

we should at least be able to block it if we dont want to see it
