In Hurnscald today, Boxes was trade spamming. I decided to get rid of him (and have some fun as well) and got him autobanned. He came back as Bawks and started trade spamming me with some sort of program, possibly in an attempt to crash my client (which it did eventually). Then Remzi joined in with the trade spamming, and I got a screenshot. Ignoring them didn't work, as it just showed the 'Trade cancelled' message instead of the trade message as well and it still lagged my client and flooded my chat. Please ban both Remzi and Boxes/Bawks.

Other people who were there at the time (Doulos, Erienne, Dimond and Darkalibur) should be able to back this up.

EDIT: They seem to have other hacks/programs, e.g. Remzi sitting on Dimond at extreme speed, not normally possible.

Was wondering why I came back from hours of afk to find a trade request from Boxes. This might explain it.

Remzi even tried to blackmail me...

Now he's threatening me... By the way, Boxes isn't doing anything to Remzi, as earlier on (When I unfortunately didn't get a screenshot) he claimed he and Boxes hack games, that it's pointless to hack Open-Source games and that hacking MMO's is no fun anyway.

Also, crashing someones client doesn't get them banned.

Note that you can defend yourself from such attacks by blocking trade requests. The default key for toggling trade request blocking is R.

They can still flood you off the server or make you crash even if you ignore in comming trade requests.

Remzi crashed me through trade spamming in Hurns, after Doulos and I told him off for eavesdropping and interrupting things that are none of his business. No, we were not cybering, we were discussing my voice. He didn't take that well

EDITATE:

The two dudes (Doulos and Necromokron) have the rejected trades labeled only as "Trade cancelled", possibly because Remzi was on ignore. Well, Remzi was NOT on my ignore, and what I got here was about 1/100 of the spam that he sent me.

R does nothing against this kind of script/client modification, in particular, its intent to kick players off the server by bombarding them with requests. Remzi should be IP banned. Banning his char will only result in this little turd's return with a new char and the same old tricks.

*shakes head*

I had him on IGNORE and NUKED but his shitty little trade spam kept coming through.

See attached.

'R' doesn't stop trade spamming, it only stops the trade message popping up.

To would be nice if this could be fixed.

Hmm. Good point. I don't really care to know whether some noob's attempts to to trade me have failed. If a trade is of importance, the other player can tell me he can't seem to initiate the trade. That's a far better approach than having a message telling me trade failed. My settings already have the ... icon appear over a player that fails to trade me.

I think the eA devs should integrate trade requests into the automatic flood protection.

(btw, I am not one of them despite what my forum title says at the moment)

We're looking at it. Also rate limiting (one request per second or so).

Not a discussion forum, for the love of Pete.

Correct - this is not the place to discuss the solutions to the problem. Please resume the thread in another section.
