Gil Spamming has gotten worse...

The last few days the personal gil spammers (especially the Gold CE clowns) have resumed with renewed vigor. No less than 3 in a 15 min span last night and more today. Incredibly, one from my blacklist somehow managed to spam me as I tried to add him and the message was I already had them on my blacklist. Another favorite trick is to spam you then log off before we can blacklist them! My blacklist is up over 140 "players" now.
What the hell is being done about this?? I know it has been discussed to death, but we need to keep it going as much as possible until these vermin are somehow eradicated.
It has gone beyond a nuisance SE.

I guess it's a server to server thing. On Leviathan, there's been a drastic drop in spammers since the over 3k rmt accounts got perma banned. I'll get one or two when I first log in, block them, then nothing for the rest of my play time or one more several hours later. I have seen the new trick of spamming then log out before you can blacklist though. It's a sneaky new tactic.

As has been stated before though, SE doesn't delete accounts when they ban. So even if they are still on your list it doesn't mean they are still active accounts.

On Shiva I haven't gotten a rmt tell in weeks, maybe the EU just doesn't buy into rmt as much?

cactuar was on fire today. crafty buggers have made their names even more confusing and by the time you hit ok, they are gone. something like jhskdjfnksjdcnsidcun jdfojsjhiefhijsnc. try typing that with the controller.. uggh come on one-click block/report.

Midgardsormr has been drastically quieter the last couple of weeks. Still get the occasional tell but barely any shout activity.

/blist add <r>

save this as a macro so everytime you get a /tell from a rmt gil seller all you need to do is click the macro and it will confirm you that you want to blacklist the last person that sent you a /tell

wow! that bad huh...

I kinda miss US server tho since here in JP server, very few english speaker. And since I can't speak jp, it's getting even quieter tho.

1 thing for sure: No RMT spam ever! Not at all!

I guess there's the trade off between each regional server: want more english speaking activity with mind-numbingly rmt spam, or almost-zero rmt but require jp speaking? lol

I don't know how it is on PC, but on the PS3 you can share cross-bars across classes.
