sharksman3 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ok i get merch clans and what they do and everything. I get that they help people and give others ( the bad end of the stick ) But do they really have to advertise there sites with 10 to 15 people in 1 small area. I man seriously i can't even trade somebody anymore without having to turn on trade showings only. If you agree with me please post here and give some ideas how else they can advertise there price manipulating clans. :pray: If you havn't noticed them heres a picture.

Noobs4life2 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 There's probably no way to stop them from spamming but to add them to your ignore list. Life is already hard as it is, so just put them to your ignore list.

Omali Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Merch clans need to when it comes to the way they operate, many of them by scamming and duping people into buying out items so they can profit while the people lose when the item crashes.

themitten Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I hate merchanting clans too, but other than reporting the advertiser then theres nothing really you can do. What I do when I see one is: * Report for spamming/macroing (After practicing typing what they say a few times if it's too fast Macro, if not Spam) * Add to Ignore List That's probably what you can do at this point. (If you don't like reporting then just use the Ignore List.) :) Homer: So if we don't all vote the same way we'll be "deadlocked" and be "sequestered" at the Springfield Hotel, where we'll get Free Room, Free TV, Free Food, Free HBO. OOH! Free Willy!Skinner: Homer I think this has something more to do than a disobedient whale.Homer: Okay, how are the rest of you voting.Every member of the Jury: Guilty.Homer: How many "S'" in innocent?*Jury groans*Homer: I'm only doing what I think is right.

quelmotz Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've never noticed this happening. It's been much better since those stupid [wagon] RWTers got eliminated. As posters before me said, just add them to your ignore list or report them. Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sees_all1 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've taken a liking to the newer "report abuse" interface, it makes it alot easier to report these narbs. I would personally like to see some IP bans given out, not only to stop their nub characters, but to actually punish them; its bad enough to have organized price manipulation - worse to listen to them gloat about their clans. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep Tails Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Agreed. I have no screenies, but I was trying to buy an item on the GE, so I was saying "Buying a in the ge max price" and so on. There was also 2 peopel advertising a random merchant clan. I also forget the name of that, but here is just about what my chat box looked like: [hide=]Join and make mils daily!

Ulysses Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I agree too, merching clans frequently spam the screen especially in world 2 GE. I hate price manipulators, their conducts are unethical, i.e. the leaders pre-buy stocks before they announce to their clans, and then sell them before they ask them to dump their stock, so to maximise their profits, disregarding other players. Besides, those who don't merch (like me), cannot buy what they need, say for example for level requirement for a quest etc. (Look at iron ore) Or to buy a weapon for slayer tasks or just for training combat, (Zamorakian Spear and Guthan). I think Jagex should do something about price manipulation and the fluctuation of prices like sharemarket. In my opinion, this is an unwanted consequence (general inflation) from an unwanted update (GE), and i think something's better to be dealt with soon, before things escalate.

darkace21 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Merch clans need to be a bannable offense imo. I hate how the constantly and purposefully drive an item's price through the roof.

HeadBandit64 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I am tired of the spam, I cant even play with my public chat on in the ge anymore, its ridiculous. As for banning merch clans, I think that would be sweet but there is no way to see if someone is indeed merching unless Jagex sends in like undercover mods :shock: maybe they have those already? :? either way should there ever be a way to detect it other than the horrendous spam ads (which after banning merch was declared would disappear from all but the stupidest bots) then I would be down for that "In order to lead, you must learn how to carry your followers upon your shoulders""A man is not only defined by his abilities, but also by those of the men with which he surrounds himself""The meek fight for skill and fame, the strong fight for power with the skill and fame they already have" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I don't go to W2 GE anymore, i stick to my own world.. and if i see someone spamming a channel, i usually tell the to shut the [bleep] up. which is usually followed by several agree'ers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadBandit64 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Im going to make a petition against merch clans in the official RS forums tomorrow if anyone is interested "In order to lead, you must learn how to carry your followers upon your shoulders""A man is not only defined by his abilities, but also by those of the men with which he surrounds himself""The meek fight for skill and fame, the strong fight for power with the skill and fame they already have" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGmaestro Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 i once got so annoyed i found a merch clan cc that had chat turned on to anyone, so i started spamming how merch clans sucked..i got kicked from the channel after like a min, but not before a bunch of pple pm'd me asking what was so bad about it. so i told em, and they very quickly left the cc. mission accomplished :thumbsup: i then went to mmg's cc and tried to get other pple to help me spam their cc to get pple to leave it. oops. -.- i got reported for 'encouraging others to break rules.' stupid noobs.

EGmaestro Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 no i didnt get muted. which is great, for obvious reasons, also causethe person who reported me decided to let me know in private chat, then proceded to gloat about reporting me. he was like: "dont worry it will only be a 3 day mute" among other things.. :evil: so i got to pm him back 2 days later and let him know who didnt get muted. it made my day.

Gin_and_Tonic Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 what i do sometimes with merching calns i dump the item really early then they all get pissed off, its funny as That would do little or nothing unless you had a huge amount of the item they're merching. If 15 people in a merch clan own 100k pray pots, and you dump say, 3k, that would do basically nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orioles8 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'm not normally one to call out player moderators over this or that, but you have to admit that this is the kinda thing where their muting powers are extremely useful.

Youmu Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Found these in the RS screenshots thread. Merch clan spammers are going to be a LOT harder to stop now. I wish those auto-typers would stop advertising their "merchanting" clans already. Jagex really should give us a right-click "Report" option in the chatbox to stop these botters.
