question for GM's

Here is the newest one i saw just the yesterday while helping some friends in bastok was this

http://i48.tinypic.com/11t7e2w.jpg

I followed them all to the maw in north gusta. This train was long and huge, while running they spanned the entire bridge in port from one side to another, there was easily over 20 of them in this train.

I wonder how they get to 30 to do all of that...

I don't.

It only takes one of those players in an alliance to level everyone up to level 10 if all of them are book burning in the right place. After that they just move to higher mobs with a high level BOOK burn. In a few hours all 17 characters can be level 30. They don't need a limit break either just to get the $$$.

True, I just kinda wonder where seeing as I have never seen a group of them around. : /

Hello everyone,

I see there has been questions why the GM team have not replied to this thread yet and I would like to touch bases with those who have made posts.

I have explained, in past threads, that the GM team takes a general hands off to RMT Customer reports as the Special Task Force is the department which handles those violations and does thorough investigations into the claims. Square Enix recognized the RMT situation was a much larger issue than just the GM team could handle, so they created the Task Force just to handle this community concern.

While the GMs understand the reports and would like to be able to sweep in and remove the suspicious customers, but normally that is all we have to go on is suspicion; running around with no Linkshell, AH bought gear, level one characters following a high level character, not replying to tells, etc is not a Terms of Service violation. Without a solid Terms of Service violation the GMs need to pass on the information to our Special Task Force so they can do a deeper review.

If you place /helpdesk calls, the GM Team will take any names you report and pass them on to the Special Task Force who have the tools, time and resources to monitor the customers you report. Another thing we may want to consider is that the Task Force is also watching their actions to watch for trends, find the banks, mules and other characters and accounts involved; remember they go after not only the RMT supplies, but the customers of the sites too. But, for the most part, the Special Task Force keeps their agenda secret as they cannot have their investigation means made known public as all of their progress would be lost.

We are here to support you and hear everything you are saying about these suspicious characters, do not give up hope. Please do not stop reporting the cases to use, just be sure to include a name and general description on what they are doing. I know the report line is not very long, so you can say something like: “Bsssiojsoslso may be absentee fishing in Port Jeuno” or “Busususussjsj has been seen with multiple level one chars following while he hunts– please review”. Normally we do not need job/race combos , so if you include that in your reports, it is not always needed.

I am always trying to find better ways to help explain the GMs to our players because the players and GMs work as a team to help keep the game fun for everyone – if you do not report, we cannot review.

Thank you and I am sorry for the wall of text. I will keep this thread open as it has been civil. I may not be able to answer any direct questions, but I will keep an eye on this thread.

-SGM Jhanaka

Thank you.

Thank you for stepping up to discuss this.

I've seen them they hide in the walls or at the books all bunched up in exp places where average players usually don't go. Once you hit level 10 sky's the limit for book burns. This isn't the problem its the abbysea reverse chain groups that are abusing the system. These keyboard slam characters are what I call trailer trains.

As for that AH exploit, the trial accounts are being used to transfer massive amounts of gil. You can't trade to a trial account but if they put up a 1 gil item and instantly buy it for 10 million it could be outside the RMT pawner system. Trial accounts are limited to trades but not limited to the amount of gil they can post stuff in the AH for. This way a trial or newbie account can place an item up for 1 gil and then then transfer millions by having an alt instantly buy it.

I have no suggestions on how this could be fixed without restricting the ah some.

Lol blue peas!!!! Once upon a time, I was a weenie level 22ish rdm, I learned about gardening, loaded up seven mules. And grew a battalions worth of...... Blue peas, *shut up I didn't read about feeding plants clusters, .... So I had to get rid of the peas, off to the ah with me.... Checked price, ..../cry put em up for the magical 1 gil, ran back to mh, checked d box "MOTHER OF GOD" 890,000 GIL 1 stack..... I thought I hit the mother load...... Still waiting for the second stack to sell..... -.-


Just now hit me that I hijacked a rmt transfer.
