Only PAID accounts can whisper.

This would be a final end to the gil sellers, why they didn't do more with the expansion coming out Ill never know.

I Stand Corrected!!

what are you talking about?

trial accounts can't send tells.

if you aren't paying you can't log in.

trial accounts can send whispers, that's how we constantly get spammed.

I don't know about anyone else, but on Excalibur, ever since the expansion came out, I have not received one tell or seen any advertising from RMTs. So SE must've done something drastic this time around...although, I know eventually they'll be back. But it's been nice these few days.

Well ill be dammed. you mean these idiots are paying for each time they log in, give a server whisper and get banned?

Hey its a good business model.

Mostly using stolen cards/accounts.

Yea I notice I don't hear the tell sound every 5-10 mins now...unlike before.

On Zodiark I hadnt seen a whisper in weeks. Ive gotten about 5 since the expansions launched tho.

Let us file this under phail.

On Moogle I haven't had any tells friend requests or any of the like from rmt since ea began. I feel sorry for those that have. Good job SE for taking care of it for us.

Balmung has been rmt free ONLY because they are likely having as many issues getting on to the world as we are.

I got one. Just one, was this morning.

Of course they aren't, that's silly. Most of the whispers are done using compromised (stolen) accounts. The times where it is necessary to pay for something, they use stolen credit cards. This stuff is done by organized crime rings, it's a multi BILLION dollar per year business, and it's the same people that spam in ALL MMO's. Do you really think they're going to use their own identities and money? They steal stuff from compromised accounts and sell it for real money.

RMT don't buy EA, you ll see them again when server official goes live

Now that you mention it I haven't had any gil sellers sending friend requests or spamming /tells my way either since HW came out...yet in the previous weeks prior to it I was getting over up to 60+ per week I had to blacklist.

You don't need EA to be able to log in. You can play ARR content still.

No, ARR was never shut down. Heck, EA brought with it patch 2.xx content too. ARR is being run simultaneously as EA. The only thing not allowed without EA is for accessing strictly HW content.

I say enjoy the peace while it last, know for sure these RMT will find a way round it say "I'm back"

Don't need EA to log in, those don't have HW still log into ARR version just can't level to 60/content/jobs and race.

Wrong. EA just restricts access to expansion content. I have friends that haven't gotten the expansion and still log in just fine.

I was managing just fine. I did upgraded last night and I have friends that are managing just fine without the xpac or early access.
Still getting gill tells and friend requests however
