It's not rocket surgery

I'd love to have a way to take your name out of the player search menus while not removing you from Dungeon ques if that's possible :)

Wildstar itself kinda died off, so I don't know if that's really a good example. (It also made me miss that our mailboxes are restricted to friends only, so much RMT spam in my mailbox during the first few days of the game I made the mistake of buying)

/anon would be great - there are times where I'd prefer not to be bugged by people while doing my own thing. Especially since I'm sick right now QQ

Likely because they're not enough of a market for ESO gold.

I can't believe you all are making such a big deal out of "rocket surgery." Have you ever heard of mixed metaphors? Rocket science and brain surgery. Mix 'em. Bam. Rocket surgery. My last boyfriend was a rocket scientist by profession, and my best friend always called him a rocket surgeon. I thought it was hilarious.

There's also "brain science" but it's not nearly as funny because medicine is a kind of science.

Also, RMT tells have been really bad on Lamia lately. Maybe due to the free login thingy?

nope. RMT tells are bad on the servers where people are buying gils. But congrats for being on a gil buying server I guess :p

(I was on balmung before, and switched to Cerberus for 2.4 patch, and I may have had a dozen of RMT tells at most since I started to play, in august 2013)

I've been laughing at this Rocket Surgery since yesterday.
What's funnier is all the baddies clamouring around about a joke.
Lighten up, Jeebers. So many stiffs around here.

My jimmies are rustled by rocket surgery ok. Stupid colloquialisms! ENGINEERING YO. Go rocket engineers

I know that they have to thoroughly investigate every reported bot and RMT spammer to ensure that the accounts are actually being used for RMT & botting, I just want a more efficient means to report and silence the RMT spammers. I would be happy to, in addition to clicking on the offender's name and selecting "Report" that is automatically flags the reported account for investigation while also temporarily muting the reported account for as long as I am logged on to the character that I made the report with.

Problem with that is that it can be abused by the players to mute an innocent person intentionally. Sure, they may put up a minimum flagging requirement before muting anyone, but it only takes a second to get players to follow the mob mentality and end up reporting the person anyway.

Effect can actually be defined as "a change that is a result or consequence of an action or other cause" and in actuality is what most people mean when they say affect.

The team still investigates every single report for RMT spam and bots. Which is why it takes so long for the offending account is dealt with.
