question for GM's

[Jhanaka]

Hello Secondplanet.

Your reasoning is very sound on removing the ability to make alphabet soup names, as I call them; I will pass this suggestion on up, for you, thanks!

There are just a couple counterpoints as to why this may not work, though, so please let me explain.

For one, the RMT customers will just go back to using "normal" names. When this plague first started in our game, they used patterns in their name, like a color/fruit combo, Redapple for example. While those in the party had similar names, they were all still "real" names, so to speak. If we put in filters to prevent the keyboardbasing names, they would just go back to making "real" names and the problem does not stop.

I also worked as a GM for another company where the GM staff had to approve each name the customer's choose. I would like to say that stopped the RMT customers, but it did not.

I have been with you guys from Beta (though my name was changed) so I have seen how the RMTs have developed and adapted. It is an interesting beast and one with many heads, as was pointed out, but cannot be stopped easily. The best thing you guys can do is just continue your reports by either in game or through the email I provided. Trust me, my GMs do not mind as that is why we are here, to handle your concerns or make sure they are passed onto the right folks who can help.

I hope you guys have a good evening.

Jhankaka, I appreciate your comments, the most important factor is the response to obvious activity. If someone is floating in the sky or hovering inside a mountain etc and a player reports this they shouldn't be there 2 to a day hours later. When players report these things most of the time SE might as well allow it because by the time anything appears to get done the damage is already there.

On another note: What does SE think about MOVING all the RMT captured accounts to their own locked server?
