I dont care why they do it I want it to stop-RMT's

IV been starting to think lately about the people behind the bots just who are they why do they do this is it just easy cash for them a person who is trying to pay for their college tuition or maybe their just a person with a family who's just desperate for money.

and no this is in no way a sympathy for rmts thread bear with me.

But the fact is I don't care who they are or for that matter why their doing this I want it to stop. And this won't stop unless people stop buying from them. You know who you are.

The real ugly truth is you don't know who you buy the Gil from people.

And when you start to wonder about the ugly truth of the matter your mind starts wondering could buying Gil be worse in ways more than a suspension or ban don't know if I could get a temp ban for this.

But like I said iv been wondering on the people behind the bots and the absolute worse IV thought of is this.

Criminal activity. Yes I went there because the fact is you do not know who your buying from could be a normal average Joe or it could be Alcapon yes I know he's dead making a statement.

Wev no idea who's getting our money its far fetched I know but it is a possibility criminals are getting more high tech every day and with the anonymity of the internet you never know.

So to those who do waste their real life money on in game currency ask your self this.

Who's really getting my money?

With the prices they charge on my server I don't know how people can afford to buy gil. As long as there are free trial accounts with no message and shout restrictions and no easy report and 24hr temp blacklist the problem will never lessen.

You people are legitimately going insane over getting a tell in an online game.

ffs, please stop being misinformed. trail accounts can not shout,tell,say,yell, use the market board, trade, have more than 20k gil, get above lvl 20, use party finder, and a few more things. trail accounts do nothing to support rmt.

No, people are going insane over getting a tell every 5 seconds all day every day. If it doesn't bother you, lucky you. But don't act like it's not a problem.

Well it's a start. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Yeah its ridiculous when i am having a convo and then my chat log is flooded by rmt tells resulting in my entire conversation being pushed out of the log. The only time it stops is when the server is closed heh

Sargatanas, as populated as this server is doesn't experience a constant spam of RMT advertisements to warrant my excuse for this thread, much as the others. Type in RMT in the search and complain in any of the other RMT threads before creating another one. It's all the same topic, anyway.

Balmung doesn't seem to suffer this constant flooD of rmt nonsense. Maybe it does and I just don't notice it in the housing wards?

Balmung is one of those servers that are so full that new characters can't be made most of the time, that's likely the reason why spammers aren't all over the place there.

You are playing on Tonberry, a JP server. It's well-known by now that the JP servers don't encounter the same amount of RMT harassment many of the NA servers have to deal with it. Just stay out of these threads if you don't have RMT issues. Ridiculing people who have it worse than you is hardly a nice thing to do.

You can stop me posting in these threads as much as your futile complaining will stop RMT.

Not quite. Trial accounts can send friend requests. Message spam has more or less stopped on my server, since the RMT has switched over to naming trial characters after their sites and sending friend requests. If you accept they obviously spam you with mogmail, but even if you don't you now know where to find them.

Fully supported these RMT threads - we need at least 10 to 15 threads every day, so that SE can get a taste of the type of annoyance most players in NA/EU servers have to deal with on daily basis. I can confirm that japanese servers do not get these type of inconvenience at all, maybe once in a blue moon but they never last since there is no buyers. Half the blame is to the players to be honest, if you don't buy, there is no market.

100% agree that the spam is here because of the players. I personally don't buy and never have, but because someone is buying on my server I get stupid whispers all the time. They really need to give permanent bans to the buyers.

Idk, it's been kinda quiet for me on Behemoth. The erasing your list every 2 days really works.

more not fully informed. mogmail cant be used my trial accounts either. the only thing they would be able to do is friend request, and thats it.

That's right - stay out. These threads will go away when the RMT does, so get used to it.

This. If I am not /busy I usually get upwards of 50 tells an hour. I will not be quiet about this issue until I can game in peace.

Hurrah, another thread claiming gil sellers could be criminals, sex traffickers, jihadists or some other such bullshit. Because no other kind of business, be it a bakery, a cinema, a bank, or a coffee shop are capable of funding criminals. You really think that because you know the name of the managers or CEOs of a business that they can't be crooks? Your argument is "people should stop buying gil because you might be funding XYZ", well how about you stop paying your rent/mortgage? You might be funding crime. How about you stop buying food and electricity? You might be funding crime. See how stupid your argument is? No, you don't see do you, because your power company doesn't send you messages or friend requests "every 5 seconds".
