Channel Trading Nearing Impossible By Bots

In two months looking back I must say my final retirement from D2 is attributed to the endless spamming by bots in the channels.

Everytime I log on on the trade channels I have to squelch 7+ bots who spam me privately advertising the reduced prices and discounts on computer generated pixels. I cannot comprehend the trouble these guys are willing to go for something as useless as this. People are not likely to purchase items for real money in an outdated game like this. Suffice to say the majority of people playing this game at this point are veterans who have enough means to acquire any items in the game. Even one who is considering purchasing virtue item, why would he incline to purchase through those venues -- the intrusive idiots that endless spam advertisement in the channel.

In the end, all these bots hurt are the real traders in the channels who are occupied between getting their messages across the spams and squelching the private nuisances.

What does the Diabloii.net community has to say about that?

[color=333ff33] That is entirely why I do not trade in the channels. Actually I never did. It is much more sane trading here or with those on your friend list that are worth trading with :)

The thing that does aggrivate me is that sometimes I get bots whispering me in games. :rant:

In-game I just press the trusty old 'n' key. Outside, I don't trade in the
trade channels so... no bot threat.

I do the same, but it gets tiresome after a while.
