Gil sellers are Getting Out of hand...

Yes agreed. These Gil Sellers are really obnoxious. Last night in U'dahl the chat log window was jammed full. Now I get them through tells,yells and shouts. I spent a lot of my time blacklisting these irritating spammers! What really concerns me is the fact that some of these Sellers are phishing, hacking accounts, and effecting the security of your game S.E. accounts. It made me paranoid enough to register my Security Token that came with my C.E. I've read in other posts that S.E. is working on this but they have got to move faster on this issue. We really need an easier way to report them. If I used the present system in the support desk, I would've been typing all night to report the 17 sellers that I had to Blacklist in the first 10 minutes of gameplay in U"Dahl. :(

Some of them are bound to be stolen accounts; get your security keys!

Sadly, I can't see the spam truly dying down until subscriptions begin. Even if SE could go around banning them en masse they would just come right back in.

At least they're not getting THAT much gil. (Seems like their current rates are $10 for 100k.) I have yet to see any of the usual farming droves out in the world. Their main source of gil atm is likely stolen accounts, as I mentioned above. Things will get better, 'til then we just gotta grin and bear it... x.x

I saw in game a way to blacklist the gil sellers quickly through something like "/blacklist add </r>"

Does anyone know what the prompt exactly is so I can quickly be rid of these people?

SE needs to add an option for blacklisting and reporting RMT when you right click/square button their name in the chatbox. It would make it a lot easier to deal with these annoying RMTs.

SE is blisting these guys as fast as they can, but they have to review each case to make sure that they're legitimate. If one non-rmt person got banned, the whole community would flip shit, and they're trying to avoid that. Usually 3-5 blist adds in a few minutes wipes them out for a few hours.

We will always have RMT issues, for as long as we have gill buyers.

i think they are aware Oo

ffomall or whatever it is, spams hardcore. SE hire GM for the servers

The harder money is to farm, the more money is in demand(gold buyers). The more money is in demand, the more money suppliers there are(gold sellers).

The amount of gold seller spam will only get worse as more people realize 99% of this game's gil is created from quests that eventually run out.

I thought most of the spammers were hacked accounts. Sure I've seen names like Ggds Bfsdhd spamming (most likely created to spam) ... but Donni Darko? Probs a hack.

Protect your account folks!
