Spam Filter Issue Not Resolved

[Mithriltwo 0]

Hi, so for the past week I've been running scarlet monastery. It was going just fine till the new spam filter was introduced. I would use /who to build great class composition and my requests were always well received. 

Currently I can no longer rely on /who to form groups because after a dozen or so tells I get muted. Leaving me to rely on /world to find members for a party. I'm genuinely surprised how unsuccessful this is even on a server with 6k+ ppl. I generally sit in world for hours trying to find a group receiving 2-3 whispers over the course of that time. Even as a tank.

I've followed Elysium on twitter saying they've resolved the issue and this is not the case. I still receive a mute after a dozen or so whispers for 2 hour duration. A hard price to pay for trying to form a group after trusting their counter measures have gone through. 

I could get a group off the ground in 20 minutes or less using /who. The players I whispered were genuinely happy to be requested single handily for a instance out of the blue and was well received as a pleasant surprise. And the players who were not interested have only sent me tells as such; "I would but I don't have the time," "no thank you," "negative," or no response and that was that. 

Now the time requirement of forming a group relying on /world is not worth the time investment compared to questing. As a tank I'm required to have better gear as I approach harder instances at the upper echelons of 50 and 60. I enjoy grinding for gear and enjoy being a tank that has favorable status of stalwartness to bring to a group. So unless this issue is resolved I guess questing is the only worthwhile option while leveling. Since waiting in /world and not having any measure beyond that to be proactive is not.

I found this out the hard way.  I too would random whisper people for dungeons. Now I guess I can be considered spam, but this worked well in getting people.

Now every time I log or die I am "silenced" for a minute or so?  I understand the premise, but and honestly can say I have not got random whispers as much from gold spam.  

I just want to know if this goes away since it has been almost a week since I have been on "timeout".

Personally I find those random whispers mildly annoying.

What would be much better is to have everyone join the global LFG channel by default. It is there for a reason. The problem is alot of people do not know about it.

It's how people found group members in vanilla. You'd search for a class within a certain level range and start whispering.

 

Back on old nost, on my Priest, I'd always have people whispering me wanting me to heal dungeons, as I leveled. Felt pretty nice.
