[Suggestion] Account based Blacklisting: stop the RMT spams

How about it, SE?

Char base BL doesn't work, these bots deletes the spamming chars within minutes and switch to another acct/char to continue their spam.

You refuse to make /tell a quest based reward, then give us account based blacklisting.

You do know rmt don't only use one account don't you? they add an account based blacklist, the RMT will just use more accounts. No blacklist will stop rmt the only way to stop it is to stop buying, if there's no demand they will give up.

Yoshi-P said that about 3000 accounts are banned per week in a recent interview. He also said that we will be getting a more direct method of reporting them on sight and that SE are taking measures against the sites themselves, perhaps legal...? Well, let's see what comes of it.

This is a good suggestion not only for RMT but for d-bags that make alternate characters to pester you after you've blacklisted their main characters. I don't understand why with our linked servers we don't have cross-server account wide friends lists and ignore lists.

Even FFXI had cross server communication through PoL. I think it was account wide as well...?

I've said this in another thread before, maybe it's been noticed, but a more direct way would certainly be to make 2 seperate blacklists, 1 specifically for suspected RMT. Have an RMT list like a blacklist, put players on it, stop getting those tells, and all at the same time SE gets a report of a likely RMT.

So, lets make them work even harder. The harder they need to work, then less likely they will be attracted to this game.

Assume 1 RMT uses 1 char to tell spam for 2 mins, delete the char, switch to another acct and repeat, that will require them to have 15+ accts to do their spamming non-stop. If we can have acct based BL, then they cannot use the same accts to do this delete/swap spamming. If I am force to BL RMT spammers, I much rather BL 1 acct, then having to BL 50 chars from the same acct.

There are a lot of options:

- right click option vote mute /rmt (after a choosen number of players voted to mute the target he gets unable to send tell / yell whatever via server and later gets investigated by gm)
- right click report RMT (yeah thats what they are pretty much bringing in)
- autoblock tells / mute after a certain number of tells to DIFFERENT players)
- option to disable recieving tells from players that are not in FC / Friendlist
- tells only enabled for people that have more subscription than the first free month (should still be able to tell friendlist)

And yeah... please add more slots to blacklist or make it easier to delete ppl from it.
It kinda sucks deleting one at a time..... 199 to go... 198 to go...........

You missed: Report them and delete them when told to by a GM within 10 mins of reporting...and
STOP BUYING FROM THEM.

Account based blacklisting should probably be a thing either way just from an avoiding harassment perspective.

You don't stop the cause, they'll keep slipping in.
