    Congrats, you’ve replied with a meme.
    Again, my point stands; give me a reason why mods would implement this. Ads on the TM aren’t malicious and don’t hurt people.

    The entire point is that it is being spammed so it's getting in the way if you're genuinely searching for an item that's not an absurd price

    Hm, you did attempt. Dread to think what the other items look like, but let's not go into too much detail you saw two normal items that's enough


    Perhaps for the people using the market for not what it's meant for we can instead have an advertisement board you can all go and fawn over then

    Listen, I'm not going to pick sides here so i'll just give my opinion. There's no single guild, advertiser, rule enforcer or individual to point fingers at. One of the main reasons why our community has such a nice reputation is because Wynncraft is a very non-competitive game, and guilds are by far the most competitive thing in Wynncraft. So I don't think it's a coincidence that most of the flame-wars are created by guild politics. So I feel the real culprit to point fingers at is the concept of big guild wars and territory conquering.

    Now, there's no need to swear. I don't believe I mentioned you going either way but certainly in my mind I'll admit was placing you into the "Look it's not a big deal because I found two items that aren't adverts camp" ;). But yeah it doesn't matter, I think it's certainly weird that people think it's fine to have infinitely highly priced items as adverts when the trade market is not used for that but to have a different opinion, I mean ok I don't think it's beneficial at all to allow it but if you do then that's completely fine, or if you don't know what to think/split then that's also fine with me

    Guild fighting can get so catty I agree, nether was chill

    As I said;
    Banning spam and banning advertisements on the trade market are two entirely different topics. Spam is annoying and is already against the rules, but specifically clarifying that that also applies to the trade market would help. A finite number per player or per guild would solve that, or even a restriction that they cannot have the name of mythic included in their name unless it's for a reason.

    Banning them altogether though, I'm against. Since shouting is not available to anyone who does not donate and forums threads aren't seen by people who aren't on the forums, it's a far more effective way of reaching many people, especially since it works when you're offline. While I think that the guild advertisements are just silly (again, I still think they should be allowed), an item asking to buy something would make a lot of sense, as would an advertisement for something that you don't want to sell over the market, to avoid a tax on a high value item or for some other reason. And if you really, really cannot deal with a few sheets of paper when you're looking at mythic prices, just filter by mythic. It's literally one extra click.

    Out of interest when you say spam do you mean spamming anything or spamming ads?

    Yeah, I think they're a bit silly too and I understand that some people may want to advertise. But a trade market is made for trading, it goes against the principle of the idea so for me it's a no brainer, maybe have some sort of notice board in the future

    It's not too difficult to get round it but when you open up the screen and automatically a large portion of them are adverts you must understand it's ultra irritating :(

    But I get your points about not everyone having a forum page to see ads, and shouts (they're not free of course)

    Now that's interesting, so it's already against the rules but it's not enforced properly?

    Oh, so its been against the rules but mods haven't told anyone and are just banning people for not knowing anything?

    I did NOT expect this to turn into a mod shitpost, but seriously, mods, you really need to be more transparent. Nobody likes false bans.
