I say that this gil sellers spam is annoying and i know one thing....if nobody buy gil's then there will be no gil sellers, easy as that.
I play Archeage before and there was something like recognizing who got and how many gold from gold sellers site and they simply take away that gold so those who spend money for cheating spend them for nothing (Trion even suggest to go to that sites and ask for repay :D). I simply suggest something like this for FFXIV, strike at the gil-buyers cause they have same guilt as the gil-sellers.
If nobody buy gil then gil-spam will be no more or very limited cause this will be unprofitable for gil sellers.

Interesting, but what if the gil-buyer already spent the money to buy something on the market board though? SE has to get the money back from the seller and refund the item to him/her? Might be a lot of work though.

Nono, I mean, like this:
-A bought money from gil seller for lets say 5million gil
-A use up 5 million gil to buy something off the market board, a certain thing from B who has nothing to do with gil selling/buying business
-Now A has like 1k gil left
SE will get the money back from B? and transfer the bought item from A back to B? How can SE make sure that it isn't gil laundry between A and B? B will suffer suspension in account until prove innocent? -

Then they should perma ban the buyer on top of that too.
No kid gloves, no warnings and slap on wrists, crit hit the buyers in the face with the ban hammer. -
02-23-2015, 07:34 AMOsirilMaybe warning first or, oh well, gold seller/buyer no difference they both are reason of this crap.Quote:

Is mute an option? Mute any Gil spammers system so any accounts they make are unable to send messages.

02-23-2015, 07:48 AMSapphicGil buyers are the reason Gil sellers exist, so no warning, ban dem suckers. No buyers, means no sellers.Quote:

How about we just ban Chinese IP's from being able to access the NA, JP, and EU servers? They have their own servers now.
This option worked very well in FFXI. -

Thanks all for nice suggestions, so players already know what to do, now SE must take action.
That blocking ip from china is nice, honeslty from years of playing mmo's i never meet chinese player who are useful in terms of gameplay, so.... :p -
02-23-2015, 05:48 PMBobbinTDidn't chinese already got their own XIV server?Quote:

RMT is a hard one to hit. You can really only go after the person that buys the gil. Though SE is not in the business of policing everything and we saw the mess with bans hitting everyone at game launch. I would like it so only friends can send me tells or that I can chose to restrict who sends them to me. The tells I get are lvl 1 char in Ul'dah. They have no reason to send me a tell. Maybe no tells until level 20 or something. I hate running around with busy on as I do get a lot of tells from friends. These rmt crapping in my chat log every few minutes is getting very old. Fix it SE. Sure this idea is limited and ppl can still rmt but at least I don't have to see it in my chat log all the time.

02-23-2015, 06:49 PMtocsinit would still affect players, though. I have had about 20 instances in the past 6 months, of someone from these forums wanting to discuss a specific topic, in a more personal setting. so, they made a level 1 character on my server, and whispered me, and we had a nice conversation. players will go through the character creation hassle for a conversation. they wont go through the lvl 1-10 hassle, however.Quote:

I agree, gil buyers are as guilty as gil sellers (if not more guilty). However, everyone knows how easy it is to pick out the gil buyers. Won't be different for SE.
SE has another problem, they won't ban them since they pay a sub which is far more important. It also takes away manpower to "investigate" an account. Manpower that could be used for development, again far more important. At the end of the day we get the occasional "X amount of accounts have been banned due to RMT activities" (which no one can verify).
Unfortunately RMT comes with MMO's. Best to stay away from it and play your own game.
