This is a really good idea. There are RMT on all popular games but I've never seen them anywhere so bad in any other mmo's. Even in WoW, I'd get a tell or two throughout the day, but not every 60 seconds. Tried GW2 this weekend and it was shocking only receiving tells from other players. This is my favorite mmo by far but the constant tells take so much away from it.Quote:

I think they should just make it so free accounts can't send tells. It wouldn't get rid of the actual RMT that are earning the money but at least it would probably help with the spam.

I get many RMT ads and friend requests from people with names like dfg sdfdfa per hour. I was playing with busy status on but then I was frustrated that I couldn't receive legit tells. I've stopped even blacklisting people anymore. It takes an enormous amount of work and they're deleting the characters and making new ones right away now anyway. SE has to do more than they're doing. It's unrealistic to think that we can get other players to boycott gilsellers because it is socially frowned upon. Players who buy and sell gil need to face real consequences and SE should have a better anti-spam system in place (a whitelist, only so many tells per min, a level requirement on sending tells, better filters, account blacklisting, something, anything more than what there is now).
Edit: in the one min span of time it took me to type this, I received 2 gilseller tells... -

So here’s what happens: some random stupid player buys $30 worth of gold with his credit card, then one day logs in to find that his account had been banned. And then he gets his credit card bill and sees that all 40 of his accounts have been banned… except he only owned one account. He then calls his credit card company, the charges are reversed, and SOE doesn’t get a dime — in fact, they lose a good bit of money in transaction fees and wasted time spent dealing with the problem.
