Petition: Right-Click B-List

Would kind of prefer it if the so called "special task force" got off their lazy ass and did something about it instead of letting it run rampant, worst i've ever seen in ANY game, heck Aion wasn't even this bad, GM popped out and 1shot them very promptly (untold not to lol)

Guess this will do in mean time but the amount of spam going on i doubt right click will work because it would just move up the list and off screen and break the context window.

I would prefer to see something like Right Click > Report Spam, like I've seen in a few other games. Doing this could add them to a temporary blist just for spammers, leaving our real blist available for actual players who are jackasses or whatever.

Have you seen Aion lately? The spamming is pretty bad.

Surprisingly enough I've been on for a few hours and didn't receive a single shout in the city. And the two spammers standing in the market ward running their mouths since Thursday are finally gone. As time goes on they probably won't have to advertise as much.

With paid subs kicking in for some players today, there will be less spamming. Hopefully those people that were hacked were able to unregister their payment info, so those ones will be gone. The RMTs that were riding free trials from version 1, should also be gone unless they pay a sub with stolen credit card info. So the world should be a little quieter of RMTs in the coming days. But that being said, right-click blist/report would be lovely.

Yes! Signed.

First MMO I've played that didn't have a right click block/report feature. Signed.

A lot of you are asking for a Right Click Features, but even if they did implemented this it would not work because the spam message scroll way too fast right now now Due to the Chat have no limit or delay, the spam is less then a second to even see what they are saying or to even right click their name.

Best way is to add a Chat Delay, meaning you can only shout every 10 seconds in between. And if you shout too many times in a short period of time you get automatically muted for 10 minutes. After this, you can add the Right Click Features, because sorry without this features added first there is no way to right click on those gold spammer.

BTW, right now you can kind of right click on them. What you do is click on their name once and it add a Reply under your chat. Then just copy their name in your Black List.

Gil seller spam is still out of control.

I'd be for a shout chat delay and right-click blist together

I don't agree with the Jail Idea. That's foolishness as that is just waiting for abuse.

But the right click and blacklist, hell yeah. I'm at over 80 blacklisted and reported so far. Only 3 had been deleted. I'm not even sure SE is doing ANYTHING about this...it's becoming frustrating, tbh.

Bump!

/tenchars

bump........

Bump I'm still seeing spamming and getting rmt tells

Come on people let's not lose steam yet, this is an ongoing problem that needs to be addressed!

Still no word on if this will get addressed?

I'd rather have a right click reporting function. A window should appear with a drop down list containing common reporting reasons and a small comment box. There should be three buttons on this window "OK", "OK and add to blacklist", and "Cancel."

This would drastically improve reporting, and give us a fairly quick way to blacklist people. Everyone wins.

Greetings,

I apologize for the long wait for a response on this.

The development team has been working on the implementation of the right click to blacklist feature, and is planning to implement it in patch 2.1.

Are you also increasing the number of people we can Blacklist?

It's pretty safe to remove most people after a day or two.

Maybe on your server, but I won't feel safe until I see "Deleted" in my blacklist. Out of 100 accounts on my BList, only 6 have been deleted. I don't understand why it takes so long for this to happen. All you need is one person per server to travel from city zone to city zone plus the city gate zones and just instant ban the same accounts we'd be Blacklisting with the new right click feature. You could hire someone at minimum wage to do this.

Those are mostly just the gil sellers deleting their characters to make new ones after enough people have blacklisted them.

Oh for Christ's sake, it's text.

The Right-Click Report Cheating must be implemented as well.

Wow we have to wait another month to have a reasonable tool to fight GIL spammers? Seriously?

i get about 5 to 6 /t's a night from these wankers. It makes me dream of Good King Moogle Mog XIII dropping down and sitting on the goldsellers while stealing their gold.

Try more likely two months. I don't actually expect 2.1 until sometime in December.

Except that I've seen the same bots pop around Ul'dah for the last week. Sorry to anyone who might have had their account hacked because they went to a gil seller site, or chose their cat's name as their password... But If your character was hacked, you're just best off making a new character and not have to worry about the fact that half the server has probably had to blacklist you.

Cool. Hopefully this is also accompanied by an inability to shout 5x per second.

What we really need is a right click to blist and report as rmt spam. Ideally if more than a certain number of people, say 20 or 30, report the player as spamming rmt ads it should immediately add them to a global blacklist until the incident is reviewed by support staff. If their ability to derive any benefit from the activity gets suppressed in the first few seconds then they will probably stop trying. The fact is as things work now they end up spamming for hours, so they see a benefit in engaging in this activity. The concept of a global blacklist created by user input is pretty standard in email systems nowadays. Creating filters for chat isn't going to be anywhere near as reliable as relying on human beings who see the spam to recognize it for what it is.

Don't forget ps3 users, modify option already available when select name send tell and invite choices can be increased to include blacklist and report. This would save user from having to write down name when spammers continually scrolling. I don't get them idiots, if I was going to buy gil anyone that pisses me off like that would never get my business. To bad there are alot of idiots out there that use the sites.

They should really disable shout/yell before about level 20, it's not like genuine new players will be using it.

You can already do it without writing down the name. Hit the square button while their name is highlighted, and choose "send tell." Then edit it from /tell Firstname Lastname to /blist add "Firstname Lastname" and away you go.

Yes, because there aren't 3 dungeons BEFORE level 20... nope not at all. Limiting the number of shouts, or flat disabling it doesn't stop the core problem... it doesn't even limit it, because the same botters doing chat spam are just going to bot/grind a character to whatever level and then spam repeatedly once they reach that level. The best way to fix the problem is to eliminate (or close to it) the market for gold sellers to exist in the first place. Get rid of people's need (or the perceived need) to buy money from these guys and they will go away all on their own. Other games have done this successfully, so don't even begin to say it isn't possible.

They are now sending simultaneous tell/shout/say/yell and completely filling up the chat box with this nonsense. We need an easier way to report.

should also have a right click report feature aswell so you can right click repot then click on what you are reporting said person for like rmt harassment cheating

I definitely support a global blacklist that would ban them from using any communications after a set amount of players have reported them. Though 20~30 would be too low and I say that because there are jerks out there that would do this for fun. But just as well, the same tool may backfire and the gil sellers may get upset about it and do it to regular players out of spite. I already feel the reason they spam this much is because no one is buying their crap, well, not no one but not as much as they would hope.
