I accidentally responded to a gil seller last night.

A gil seller /tell'd me and I accidentally responded when I meant to /shout it to someone else.

Am I going to be okay? On the site it says not to respond to gil sellers.

You should be fine. I don't think it's possible for them to mine your information from an in-game tell.

I think the "don't respond" is more of an encouragement not to harass the gold sellers, so you don't get yourself in trouble with a harassment report.

Man, people are getting paranoid, and I don't blame them when every day there's like 3 new threads of "my account has been hacked".

If your password is unique and you only use it for this service, it's a 25+ characters long password and your email isn't compromised in any way, you'll be fine, don't worry.

Also scan your PC regularily for viruses/trojans/potential keyloggers, and don't visit any shady sites.

I always tell them to STFU

I love when I get so many tells at once so I got a conversation going on with friends and a linkshell and I accidentally tell one of those gil sellers back with a complaint about gil sellers or some comment about adding to the blacklist. =D

I never mention specific character names in those tells, however...

They never respond back either, so.... */shrug*

The banhammer cometh, and none will be spared.

If I got a /tell i would usually reply with a very hearty "???? OFF AND DIE!!!" Something like that.

But I don't anymore because when I reply, then they KNOW that I am a real live legit player, not a bot, and will mark me as a possible customer and it will just never end in /tells.

So now i just blacklist them, and FAST. I don't think they can hurt you via /tells, you're safe ^^

I've tried to get a rise out of them saying the other gil spammer was cheaper...

...haven't gotten a reply yet.

I answer them often, i tell them to shut the fuck up.

I've responded to ta tell from them. I simply put "you've been reported ^^". Haven't heard a peep since in tells.
