the blackmarket chat is annoying
in Suggestions
it pops up that people get big prizes everywhere, even in games (where people spam tomuch already now you cant even read it before its spammed away) (not to mention if people can see that you won a Kriss Super V the people wanting to try one start spamming the person with, can i use it please please can i use it just 1 round please, wich if you ask me is just agrovating, so i dont get why it was put in the game in the first place, 1 it spams alot 2 it causes people to spam the people who win it with whispers.) is there any way you can either disable it or just remove it all together its very annoying (or even just slightly changing the color from bright green to like a darker shade would be welcome since its just a bad collor)

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 -

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... -
can they make an option where you can just block in GAme chat cause i seriously hate when people are talking i rather play without it, i know that u sometimes need it for knowing where stuff is and what not when the bomb is planted n stuff but im real good at using my minimap

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. -

Saidin... we don't care what other people get in crates, also, the colour is too similiar too clan chat, when the buddy server is FINALLY back up, nobody will pay attention to clan chat because they would have climatised to ignoring the crate thing.
And one other thig, I lost 11000 GP in crates after I tried getting a crate worth 2000 GP... please tell me how this happened, was i teething problems with the new layout? are you able to donate 11000 GP back into my account? -
-
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 -
