rip rmt bots

Id just like to give a rip to my boys ggggffffsssss and and all the rmt bots they are all but dead on my server i even put tells back on my general tab thanks square :D

I think i'm gonna miss them in a weird way if they disappear from my server xD

I will say there must have been a big ban-wave I've seen marked decrease in RMT tells.

100% something has happened its to the point of dead on goblin some days ill get a few but most days its 0

I rarely see any RMT tells on my server anymore. The few I do see get insta-reported with this fancy new "Report as RMT" button. :3 but I can honestly say I haven't seen hardly any at all since patch day. Thank you, SE!

Sadly, they will found another way to do it. Who knows how. But for now, seems it works.

Now that nobody talks to me, I want them back!

#BringbackRMT2016

On Jenova I have only got 2 tells since the patch launched, it has been very quiet and it is wonderful. Whatever they did I am happy they did it.

No tell issues here but I see them on the regular on my server. Openly space warping/teleporting doing story quests, and ranking up in the Grand Companies.

Didnt had any RMT for a week on Siren that pmd me! O=

Normal Im used to 3-8 per day, if I forgot to put busy mode on!

Yesterday I encounter only 1 when it used to numerous before the implement of the RMT report.
The RMT report has been my most favorite feature from SE.

I got like maybe 4 tells the day the report RMT button was implemented and since then I've gotten none. I'm seriously loving this.

They'll be back. They always find some way.

I used to see 3 or 4 RMT bots at the three MBs they could get to, neverminding the random tells. Since 3.4, I see one per MB and maybe two or so tells a day. Gotta say, it seems like the report RMT button is working!

sorry to be lame but what button? i tried right clicking one and there's no new options as far as I can see

When you right click a player there's a new "Report" option. Selecting that opens a sub menu with the options "Report RMT" and "Cancel."

Seen and reported 2 bots since latest patch, it's nice not having those scrambled words on my text box (chat log?)!... :cool:

I doubt RMT will find it's way back, they'll be immediately reported, how could they fight against that!?...

Oh, Mr. akfdslçkdgj eoewieu and Mrs. gggffsddd aaeoeoop, I will miss you.

They are still around they never advertised on Balmung due to the difficulty of creating characters but you can see their bots around still with this new system it's not worth it for them to spam tells anymore so they will probably increase their Web advertising instead.

There are some issues with that button as some players (including me) have it go missing from time to time.

I think the post on the lodestone said 6720 perma bans

Still pretty common on Odin.

Don't know about this but yesterday I reported one of these vermin via the new report feature and 6 hours later the same character was still spamming his crap by the Aerthyte in Limsa.

Still a few here and there on Mateus, but it's nowhere near the old levels of an RMT whisper every thirty goddamn seconds. >_<

I get them more since rhe

I am glad that this happened, however I still have to run in busy mode because of the spam from the unknown FC's that can't help themselves but send you 45 invites within an hour. Wish we could report them too and have them banned as well, would love to enjoy the game again in none busy mode.

There are hundreds of RMT bots on Balmung right now, but they just farm gil and don't send /tells.

Haven't seen an RMT bot tell since the banwave.

RIP Sadsad Sadsad

Gone, but not forgotten

The tells are dead, now they're doing their rmt business in shout lol. At least my blacklist can be [mostly] clear again

Come to think of it, I haven't seen one since the update... not. one. Praise the Hydaelyn (I just Balmung'd didn't I?)

While the tells have been forced out, don't be surprised to see them start purchasing advertisements on the various FFXIV websites that are not run by Square Enix. They are very motivated to make money and while we have won a major battle, the war goes on.

I think Square will learn a lesson from this along with the Novice Network. I see positive feedback on the Novice Network and that is player managed with GM override available. Same with the new RMT report system, while it has potential for abuse, it primarily relies on player input and discretion to make it successful. I will caveat with the statement that I have no idea what happens when the RMT report is sent...they say it is double checked beofre a modified silence is set up but does that capacity truly exist? Theoretically that could be thousands of reports per hour. Or is it more realistic for Square to come in on the backside to investigate potential abuses??

In the future, the FFXIV community can tackle similar problems by trusting the player base to do the right thing as long as there is an pressure release to catch the few bad apples. I do not pay $15 a month and invest hours of playtime to go around and be a jerk. Probably 98 or 99% are here to do the right thing

I was very happy to finally have noticed improvement hte past couple days! While there wasn't at first, there has definitely been a reduction in RMT tells. Finally!

I don't think they're the same bots, so to speak. The traders using the same bots to farm and spam sounds like a bad plan; they're smarter to just keep the farming on the down low and try not to draw too much attention.

For now, I'd say, one step at a time. Is great to have tells back. And maybe the farm bots can be addressed next. (honestly, they break my immersion way faster than the tells ever did)

So, what actually happened?

Did they implemented a brand new amazing bot detection tech or something?

Yes it's powered by HUMANS. The best AI around. Well drop the A. in AI. Well wait. I take that back to some people aren't that intelligent.
