Gil Sellers: Auto-mute characters that have been blacklisted by 25+ characters

Just do it like Youtube, an option to right click > flag for RMT spam, then whoever get flagged for a certain amount will be muted from all chat channels, & their chat log will be automatically sent to GM for reviewing, if their chat log is clear & the ppl who flagged them were abusing the system, then give them back a warning or mute them as well...

Also, a Right click > Report cheating/RMT is needed. In other MMOs the process of reporting is simplified as much as possible to encourage players to do the job, but in ARR each time you report someone, you have to manually type in server name, player name, chat log, time/date, zone, ect... Who the hell has time for dat? Why not make a function to auto fill in those details? Or an option to take screenshot & attach it in reports like GW2? I don't think it's that hard... Personally I will refuse to report those spammers until an easier feature is implemented, I already have a macro for blisting <r> & I turn off shout channel when in main cities.

Out of 50 ppl I've blisted & reported, only around 5-6 have been banned. Im getting tired & don't really want to care about it anymore...

Bearing in mind all the additional costs of desks computers and other staff admin costs, you can likely double that. Personally I'd rather they spent the money on developers and wrote smarter code to deal with the issue and hired a few GM's to review and ban appropriately.

No it doesn't have to be 1 GM per server. It can be 1 guy is assigned to like 10 servers. He goes through each server checks areas moves on to the next.

Its a self managing reputation system and really should be put in to help the players do something about it initially until the GM's have got time to respond. Over time it will become more accurate and stupidly when players want to help with this sort of thing you really should as its a no brainer for any company to cut down workload and make customers happy at the same time.

Another factor it could consider is if the 25 unique accts blisting him were all from the same zone.

simple if someone shouts I want to sell you some gill for some rl money band... or go to this site for gill bandd.... or if some one is /tell someone buy some gill and is reported and is confirm bannnndddd... Is that so hard to do?...

A better solution is limit /shout and /yell to 1 msg every 5 minutes.

Why? why should legit players suffer because of RMT nonsense? it's the same reason Fishing has little value on the marketboard because Yoshi didn't want RMT to abuse fishing and make heaps of gil.

Paying customers shouldn't suffer in-game tweaks just because Square doesn't know how to fix the RMT issues....

The reporting process is too complicated and time consuming for most players to stop gaming and report these people. There needs to be a smarter system in place to flag this behavior.
