Okay, I've been seeing this more and more often lately, enough to significantly affect gameplay. What's the deal? And no, definitely not my internet connection; I always check that first when I have a problem connecting.

(unrelated, but also interesting that roughly a half an hour after mentioning the SPAM, the issue magically resolved itself with no further action required on my part, although I suppose others may have reported it. The Support page is unnecessarily convoluted, likely intentionally to discourage player from reporting things, and I refuse to use such a poorly designed error reporting system unless I absolutely have no other choice)
