Agreed! These RMT buttholes put line breaks in their messages to make them erase the rest of the chat window. It's horrible. I would indeed probably get ~8 an hour if I wasn't in instances for half that time. I probably only get about one spam every 10 minutes or so, on average - which I think is still really bad.
SE, since some people mention this isn't a problem on their server, can you at least tell us which servers you care about? I am totally willing to pay you ~$100 USD to move to a server that doesn't get too much gil spam.
Maybe SE can start advertising the no-gil-spam server in chat like the RMT people:
Spamddd Sadlerhfghgf >> 【♥Gilgamesh ♥=no gil spam】or【Search for [no gil spam] on google】【pay SE $100 to move to a server that doesn't get gil spam.】. Lots of regular players with no gil spam on server you pay extra money for.Breaking News: a big event to celebrate 9th anniversary is on !Just read our web【♥no gil spam♥=Gilgamesh】details. Have a good day!!!! 3Qk_
The best part is when they say "Have a great day!!" Like....I was until you flooded my chatlog and buried relevant conversation lol.
This problem has been in existence since the game launched in Aug 2013. SEs reaction has been consistent throughout that time.....They completely ignore it. Not surprising. From reading other threads the problem exists primarily on non Japanese servers and therefore is a lower priority to SE. Yoshi-P and SE management refuse to address the matter despite pleadings from subscribers. As far as the numbers posted concerning actions taken they are of little value or validity without further details such as Servers involved etc.
On Gilgamesh it was quiet the first few weeks of Heavensward and then it just ramped right back up. I've taken to waging a personal war with SE support regarding spam. As annoying, cumbersome, and time consuming as it is I use the "Report Cheating" button and fill out a message with a copy/paste of the tell and a time stamp for almost every single RMT spam tell I get. If I'm getting flooded they should get flooded too until they do something. Occasionally I name the letters things like "RMT Spam - The Neverending Story".
Seriously, how hard is it to remove the blacklist limit and add a Right Click > Report RMT > Auto Blacklist. On the subject of blacklists they also need to give us a way to mass remove players from blacklist.
