for crying out load.....

since cant post anywhere else. also i know its spelled loud* >.>

yes i know theres plenty of threads for this but this is getting rediculess now

i cant even go 2 mins without being pmed 1-2times from a gil sell i cant even walk into town without a mass fload of spam no matter where the heck i go in this game im being spammed with gil sell

now Blisting the pmers yea sure that maybe buys 30-40mins a peace not very long

Blisting the ones in town is praticaly worthless since theres like 20+ of them and after 5-10mins they make new chars so its a never endding

and no offence SE but your to fning slow on responces by the time you actully get around to it its to late maybe its time for a mass banning with anyone associated with the Ip address`s of those of the gil sellers

if the gil seller issues arnt fix in the next 60 days i wont be re subbing i love the game but being harrassed every single day. day in and out by gil sellers in starting to get old. We cant even enjopy anything inside town talking wise

Blacklisting is only half of what needs to be done by everyone. You then need to follow up by reporting the offender by going to the system menu, select support desk and clicking upon Reporting RMT advertisements in the Frequently Asked Questions. Follow the instructions there and they the special team set up to remove this taint will know about the person. If everyone did this rather than just blacklisting and assuming someone else will report then things will get better.

my blacklist list is gettin bigger everyday... xD

I have sent soo many spam reports I feel that I should be getting exp for it or something. Its more tedious than crafting.

Which world are you guys in? I am on Shiva, I just went out the inn in Limsa Lominsa and I've got no messages at all. yesterday it was quite nice as well, I think I've just got 3 spam messages all together.

your post is unintelligible, educate yourself

See the box with the character details left of the each post - it states the character's world there ;)

Yes because there's some magical way to stop the Gilsellers that NO MMO company has implemented and they all figure what the hey lets not do it just to piss people off.

It also feels like when you're just grinding for the entire day and you're sick of it.

Can't SE have like a shortcut fast report button? Like when you scroll up to click the person's name on the chat, SE should add two more of the following options....

1) Report
2) Blacklist

Because I do not want to do all of the following:
A) Send them a friend request
B) Send Tell
C) Invite to Party

Ow… That was dumb from me, wasn't it? :D

Still, Shiva seems to be cleaned now. Hopefully. I played for an hour no spamming at all. But I must say I was in a area with no many players. The few minutes in the city were clean, though.

You do know that not everyone on the forums are native English speakers, correct? Also, if you are going to down someone for their grammar, maybe you should learn capitalization and punctuation.

lets make a petition in change.org to pass a law about goldselling & cheating in MMO is a crime... :B

(im jus desperate to find a solution xD)

If this follows SOP for these games, blacklisting will not help as they spam, then delete and remake, then spam some more. Your blacklist will end up being a list of non-existent characters. Always, always, always report them so the developers can get to the bottom of the issue.

Dude......

I think SE announced something to this regard. Myself my blacklist has probably about 30 or more names already

Some have implemented it just fine. Turbine has virtually eliminated it from LOTRO and DDO. They've got a number of rules to discourage it, but the main thing is that they make it easy for players to report and they have GMs who stay on top of those reports.

Square Enix has it even easier, because this is a subscription based game. Gilsellers have to make enough profit from each subscription to pay for that subscription. They couldn't do that if the subscription got banned five minutes after their first ad message was broadcast because a dozen players instantly reported it. If you keep their profits below the cost of setting up a subscription, then they won't do it. (That doesn't completely take care of the gilselling itself. They'll simply advertise it elsewhere. But at least their ads won't take over our in-game chat box.)

Agreed. I was surprised to find those weren't there. Report & Blacklist a spammer is (unfortunately) the most common thing I'm going to want to do based on a chat message. But rather than doing it at the chat window itself, where the spam shows up, we have to bring up another window (which automatically minimizes the chat window, so if the message is long we can't even see their name anymore). There we have to fill out a form in which we need to spell out their name correctly (often, as mentioned, without even seeing it, and many of these names are long jumbles of random letters). It's a hassle to try to even just blacklist the spammers, let alone report them as well, but we have to keep up with it or the chat window becomes useless. This should be a simple click their name then click "report spam".

Really, this is funniest thing ever someone criticizing grammar and legibility and doesn't even capitalize and punctuate correctly. Thanks I needed a good laugh today.

As to OP wish they would add, like most other games do, a auto blacklist/report function that takes two seconds. Instead of the stupid amount of time to blacklist then have to file a report for each one.

Every other game does it why can't they?

agree they need something....

in 11 there was shouts. and sure ppl pmed but it was no where near as bad as in 14 x.x and yes they have add friend/pm/add party but no add blacklist which makes it hard to keep Blacklisting ppl when they keep remaking chars all day long

someone also said just blacklist and report them......... on my server every town has give or take 5-6ppl in each zone of the city shoutting so that every zone/cornor has the msg`s spamming theres even ppl standing outside town shoutting in the starting lvling area then not only that but i get 2-3pms every 5 mins from them so no matter where i go unless i completly mute chat i cant get away from them

to Krazarian yes they need something liek the friend list and sorry gramer english isnt my strongest

They recently banned almost 7000 accounts for rmt and illicit behavior. They are working on it but I do think that SE needs to put in a chat lock out feature if you have spammed something more than a few times, like in my last game.

As far as no re-subbing, that won't hold much water with SE and noone here wants to hear about it so why even state it?

At least SE does something about the spammers now they just need some sort of system in the game to be a little more proactive about it.

They do have things to keep people from spamming but thats only if you type the exact same message..if you look at a gil spammers message, there are always 4 letters or numbers at the end of each message, all the bot program has to do is change one of those and voila its not considered spam to the program. Sucks I know and I wish that SE would take care of them so they could actually take care of my harassment ticket...

I wasn't criticizing you about grammar was criticizing the guy who criticized you and didn't even use proper grammar himself. I understood your point clearly :)

unintelligible, do you know the meaning of the word?

Quote:

---

un·in·tel·li·gi·ble
/ˌəninˈteləjəbəl/
Adjective
Impossible to understand: "dolphin sounds are unintelligible to humans".
Synonyms
incomprehensible - inapprehensible - obscure

---

it has nothing to do with grammar. the person can clearly speak the language otherwise they wouldn't post, they just don't do a very good job at trying to make themselves understandable.

you should also educate yourself.

ps. how much of an effort was it to you to run your post through MS Word in order to have it all properly capitalized like that matters to anyone other than yourself?

Once again, you try to down someone due to grammar, but fail yourself.

Also, I repeat, just because they post in these forums, and in English, doesn't at all mean it is their native language. You sir, are being ignorant towards those of other nationalities. Although, this is par for the course when it comes to English speaking gamers. Most of us tend to think our language is the only important one.

Lastly, seeing as you are the only person who couldn't understand her, I feel that she must not have been unintelligible. Perhaps it is your reading comprehension and use of context clues that need some work.

Might want to take your own advice there, chief. I'd say to start with the understanding that punctuation is a function of grammar, not a separate and distinct category. ;p

Might want to check out the concept of blurting also. LOL

Couldn't of said it better myself. Trying to insult others when he fails at it himself is very funny.

Also as others said, everyone else sees to understand the OP fine. Maybe it's not her post that is unintelligible, maybe it is someones reading comprehension.
