I'd like the cap of 200 to be expanded, but, if you get to 200, you can probably go through that list and remove all the (deleted) to get more space.

Unfortunately I am at the cap of 200 and there are no deleted to remove at this time. The RMT on the Mateus server has increased daily lately. I completely agree with the rest of your post.

I honestly think that SE should go after the RMT websites themselves. Selling gil for real money is a direct violation of the game ToA.

That sucks. I wish I could provide information that could remedy your situation. At this point, I'm useless.

That isn't a bad idea. Im surprised they haven't attempted to do this already and if they haven't, why not.

They probably don't want to get any viruses or whatever for visiting site? Can't be too safe.

They have more than a few ways to prepare for potential viruses and ensure they don't damage anything critical.

We've been suggesting this since the game's beta/launch. They haven't added it yet, and if it doesn't show up in V3.0, there's going to be a lot of people who quit after the first month when the incessant spam ticks them off enough (people are regularly saying this in this thread ). Note the thread started around the launch date, and is still going.

Having a "clear blacklist" button is certainly needed given the status quo. Better yet, just have separate blacklists, one for "reported spam" and just "block all contacts from" (which includes searchability) so players can politely ignore people that are just too much, but not actually horrible.

I wasn't aware of that thread. Thanks for pointing it out.

While not really contributing much to the overall issue, just in case someone doesn't know, a command that makes cleaning out the deleted in blacklist less of a chore is:

/blist remove "(Deleted)"

I turned cleaning off my black list into a game.

There are two columns. Delete the shortest name from the list, regardless of which column. Keep deleting the shortest name until you are almost out of names. Whichever column has the last name on it at the end wins!

This gives me an idea for what SE can do. How about unlocking the "Right click to report or ignore" ability once you blacklist 200 players - as an achievement reward?

On a serious note, the RMT / gold seller tells are getting out of control. It's never been this bad before.

It's not like me to use this language, but this is fucking bullshit. I'm trying to have a conversation right now with someone and it's going like this:

Friend: <stuff we need to talk about>
RMT 1: spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
Me: <response to friend>
RMT 2 (different not) spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
Friend: Response to me
RMT 3 (new bot): spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
Me: Response to friend
RMT 4(new bot): spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam
spam spam spam spam spam

I am not exaggerating. This all happened within a minute of me logging in.

SE: I am logged in right now, if you would like to contact me with the apology I deserve for having to endure this for so long, I will be on tomorrow as well if that works better for you.
Everyone else: If this is the last post you see from me, it means I got banned for it, though I would hope something as hypocritical as that wouldn't happen.

There honestly should be a separate type of blacklist for RMTers... when you right-click on a name, it should allow you to flag the person as RMT and then automatically both report them and set them in a RMT blacklist.

I completely agree.
