There is a second reason for spamming WTB/WTS so often. People are entering EC all the time. If you only do your message once every 5 minutes, people can enter, run towards the next zone, and exit before they get a chance to see your auction. This becomes less of an issue if you use ahungry auction tracker but it still stands. Tbh this is the only reason I ever thought people spammed so much. As a wizard I can enter from the nro side, run straight to someone in EC and port out before 3 minutes have gone by. Give the delays a wide enough spacing and I won't ever see those *surprise* WTS that I am really looking for.
Seems like mostly an issue for people who spend hours in EC.
*Edited for clarity. I meant those auctions you don't expect to see, and you aren't even in EC for buying, but then you see the auction while passing through.
