Last night was the worst I have ever seen it, and that's saying a lot. Apparently SE sees a legitimate need for sending 350-character shouts every 0.75 seconds for hours if not days on end, otherwise they would implement some blanket throttle to stop the practice--no filtering of contents necessary.
Remember how people are requesting a simple right-click blacklist function? The chat window text was moving so fast that it couldn't respond to clicks. Apparently this is "functioning as intended."
use this maro
/blist <r>
wont help much with the shouts thou
Right-click-block won't mean a damn thing when 1. you can't click in time, and 2. your blacklist is full.
So many players have requested this ability, yet we shouldn't NEED to do this. It should be IMPOSSIBLE to shout several times per second. There are(seemingly) ZERO filters at the moment.
Sounds crazy, but the longer this goes on the more I think SE are the ones behind the spam. I'm no conspiracy theorist but they could make SO much extra. All they gotta do is adjust the gil sinks; more failed melds and more failed synthesis to keep the economy in balance.
140+ people on my Blist. :-\ Now I'm getting 4-8 spam /tells per day. -_- In addition to the spammers in major cities.
I'm standing by Wymond in Ul'dah and its just an endless stream of Qwerbhfa Thsdjbnaf type named humes popping on for one second and popping back off. I don't know what that means but its fascinating to watch.
This is a joke, I have blacklisted a certain RMT seller on Diabolos who stands next to the market board in Gridania. Later the same day I get rmt msg from the same person in chat!!
I try to blacklist them again and I get a message they are already on my blacklist but I am still getting messages in chat from them!
I have had to delete them from blacklist and re-add to blacklist over 5 times today due to the fact that this RMT seller is able to bypass the blacklist.
SE need to sort this crap already!
I have to agree that this is way out of hand.
I'd suggest posting GMs in all the cities just to work on this until a more permanent solution can be found. Reporting these spammers would be a full time job with no time left to play the game.
It has gotten so annoying that I've disabled shouts in my chat log which kind of gimps my overall game experience.
SE, please help us!
What do you think about the idea of overall blacklist for multiple users.
Heres the Problem people cannot understand
RMT is a Business , its a Company of many people.....
Farmers , Advertisers , and Customer Support/Sales Reps
1) They are now paying for Subs because they are making the money to do so......
So how do we end this ?
Right Click Name > Add To Block list
2) SE Suspending players who buy gil and set their characters back to 0..........
^ But then we will just see more "I am innocent" thread spams
Lazy Players fund the RMTs and keep them running , like Drug Dealers , they would be out of business if no one bought their products ........
Unlike Drug Dealers , its is easier to see who is buying Gil ........So Ban them , takeaway everything earned Legit and not and be done with with.....
Make the Punishment look more horrible than the short term fun and people will eventually refuse to buy the garbage ......
There is no excuse for Cheating period .If you need to cheat , then you should not be playing in the first place ..........
I fully support a MMO company with Extreme Punishments for those who cheat .........100%
Thanks to RMT spam, I've been forced to turn off Shout, Yell, and even Tell from my logs. I'm only able to freely chat within my FC which really doesn't bother me in general, but why should it even come to this? Furthermore I've been wondering...
From what I'm given to understand, the reasons vendoring items results in illogically low amounts of gil to curb gilfarming and selling.....yet, SE's apparently handed local chat in major cities over to them. :confused:
