Yes, its annoying. You can prevent it by removing yourself from the character search tool by typing /anon. The search tool is a great way for other players to know that you are interested in specific activities though, I mark my characters as interested in Heroic Encounters and players are able to find me in the search tool and they send me tells to join their group.
I've been nagging the Devs to put this in: Game Play Focus: SPAM Prevention It's on their list of things to get done but they haven't started on it yet. There is a "Warden" program in place where volunteer players report and silence credit spammers as they receive spam, but this is a reactive service and the spammer can hit almost everyone on the search tool before they hit a Warden.
Another workaround is to add black a sentance colourisation for the word ".com". I've done this and it hides the text of the spam tells, so I know which ones are worth reading.
It's common in most MMOs mate. Just ignore em.
LOL, I was expecting you to post next, "So I quit.".
Gold / credit sellers will be around until microtransactions take all their business away.
Mark my words, trading card games and microtransactions will become the new third party market wholely controlled by the MMO makers.
