Guild Advertising Spam.

[Project Danny]

Please for the love of God make a new channel called "Guild Advertisement" so we don't have to keep seeing the damn guild recruitment spam all the time its freaking annoying.

We was all having a nice conversation in zone chat then some douchbag has to come in and advertise their guild in zone chat blocking the whole chat area so we cant see what the other person said.

If people wana join a guild they will through the guild tab stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spamming it jesus christ.

Please make a guild recruitment tab like zone tab so we can then turn off the guild recruitment tab so they all just spam themselfs. Then ban them if they don't use the recruitment tab.

Nothing worse than some douchbag ruining a good conversation with guild spam.

True yea guild spam can be annoying but I think there exists a mod what will hide from you all types of advertisement in chat.
I don't remember how the mod is called or how it exactly works.

Since they do not have some kind of "Guild Advertisement" channel, the next best thing is to right click on the player who's sending out these annoying Guild Adds, and select (Ignore) and you will never ever see them speak again. Extremely rarely do you see 20 ppl in a Guild advertising their Guild constantly in every zone, it's usually just one person doing it. So if you ignore that person, you probably won't see it ever again. So only have to do this once/per player who is advertising.

Yes, annoying that you gotta do it, but what other options do you have? If it bothers you that much, simply ignoring them solves the problem. Takes 1.5 seconds to ignore someone as oppose to 5 to 10 seconds scrolling up in chat to see what you missed because of someone's huge advertisement.

there's an addon called 'pChat', does everything a moderator is supposed to do and a bit more, might wanna check it out?

I think the OP is being kind of ridiculous, but I just wanted to point out that you can only ignore 75 people. So if you /ignore literally everyone who annoys you at any time, you're going to run out of slots on your list.

I've been playing ESO for 5 years, over 6,000 hours played, and I only have 4 people on my ignore list, lol. And the Guild Advertisements were far worse back then than they are now. Also, I have never even seen 75 Guild Advertisements even being displayed in my entire time playing ESO, unless someone literally plays 24 hours 7 days a week, they will never see that many, lol.

Well, right- but what I'm saying is that /ignore can't be the solution to everything that annoys you if that's the route you take.

Also idk man, I made a character on PC EU and I feel like the guild spam there is a lot worse, but OP didn't specify where he was playing.

[FTWO]

True. Depends on the time of day. When I get on EU at night (my time) it's so active there. But when I get on NA at night, it's extremely slow and chill.

99.9% of my chat window is either spam from recruitment or spam from people wanting to sell things. Guess it's time to disable zone chat.

[shmayo]

Just ignore the spammer. Within 1 or 2 days of ignoring you won't see any ads anymore

Well, ESO allows you to build your own type of Chat tabs. You can have one that only has Zone Chat, one for when you're playing Dungeons/Trials, Guilds only, or mix them all together. It's really up to you. There are ways around this problem. Players are going to try to recruit, players are going to try to sell stuff. Not everyone takes the time to check all Traders to find good prices so there are (salesmen) going zone to zone trying to sell stuff, lol.
