Especially when those bots and spam are deliberately trying to make this game "Pay to win". Mind-blowing that we haven't gotten a responce from SE about this yet.

Also, Signed.

Gotta keep this on the first page! Don't let SE off the hook guys! This needs to be fixed!

Wow, that's crazy! I guess not seeing them myself I forget how bad it is for others. I take my comment back.

Possibly, I'm not too sure but did find this site. (not sure on accuracy or server limits)
Tonberry has approx 16,000ish lv21+ PC's. If you compare that to say Odin, who has approx 13,700 lv21+ PC's.
From looking at Tyrn's image, 3000 members difference can make a huge difference.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else on Tonberry has the same experience as me. I don't play 24 hours, so when I am in bed it could be happening.

SE, I would gladly pay an extra $2 a month for a cessation of the RMT spam. make this happen.

Wow, I really need to learn not to go on these forums when im drunk...

I'm not really advocating this, in all seriousness. However, we do need a better response than we have gotten.

Kikori Lyehga of Sargatanas realizes he's typing in caps lock, deletes all his text, and starts over with a +1 to the petition.

Does logging off automatically decline pending friend requests? If so, it probably takes less time logging of then logging in again to clear the pending list, than to decline each request one at a time.

no, they persist until they are declined.

Personally, im sitting with 27 friend requests right now, all from gil buyers. it makes me feel more popular than I really am.

You know...I had this entire thing typed up, ready to post. I decided to delete it. You all will find out. This here will be a great learning experience for you and will harden you up for the long run in a SE MMO :x

Let me guess: Final Fantasy XI? Sigh. Was XI's RMT also so much better than the watered-down casual version we got in XIV or something?

I know Free Trial accounts are blocked from using /tell, /shout, and /yell, as well as from Trade, the Market Board, and FC chests, all so that they can't be used by gil sellers, but does anyone know whether they're blocked from sending Friend requests? If they're not now, then they really need to be. If that's a loophole in the Free Trial rules, it could explain why that's become a spam technique.
