Why would people spend money on gold? You just mine it...

Gil on the other hand. That stuff is worth something! 80Usd if I had to guesstimate.

This your first mmo?

;D Pretty sure that coin at the bottom right hand corner of YOUR SCREEN is called GIL, not GOLD. They both start with G but they are VERY different in FFXIV: ARR which is the game you're playing, not WoW.

Whether it's Gil or Gold, its all the same. Unfortunately these sort of sites dont care about ToS or the likes, they will still sell it. It's a matter of reporting them when you see them. The problem is you have those fools out there who think they can cheat in order to win. They hurt no one but themselves. Besides, for the amount of G they are offering I doubt they have even got that much as yet.
What SE need to do is track their Paypal accounts, and the likes and report them directly to them and to flag the sites with Visa and MasterCard and sighting the ToS for FFXIV:ARR to them. Unfortunately, here in places like Australia, as long as you have registered a business name and run it like a business it's not illegal.

There will always be real money trading in these games, kind of like the black market and drug dealing in real life.

That being said, they can help protect us from the spam by giving us the option of right clicking their name and having the 'Add to Black List' option. Currently, this option is not there, while adding the spammer to our friend's list is.

It does take a few seconds to highlight their name, CTRL+C, and then paste that into the Black List tab on your Social Menu - but ultimately not the end of the world.

:cool:

I think there is a bigger issue and that's the mass teleporting bots who are farming those need to be removed quickest.

I already hit 200 spammers on my black list -.- *sighs*

Would be nice if SE's servers automatically lock accounts that get blacklisted an absurd amount of times. At least until SE reviews it. Kinda sad seeing some of these guys go for days without getting a ban. It would probably save SE some time too because they would ultimately get less support tickets submitted on these fools.

If people would stop buying gil they wouldn't get hacked, or perhaps not being completely stupid when visiting a website that they don't know

Go after the buyers. Perma-ban first time offenders. Make it public so the word gets out that SE is serious.

With any luck, the market for these RMT bottom-feeders in life will dry up and they'll go elsewhere.

I've visited a couple of these websites just out of curiosity of how invested they are in this scheme. They seem to originate from China. I usually reply to them with 藏獨 / 藏独 (Free Tibet) or other blacklisted keywords in China's great firewall. Probably won't do anything though. I'd love to buy a massive amount of gil and then chargeback and bankrupt them for a while. We should start doing that and then raffling the gil away!

While this is a legit issue, I think there are still more pressing issues in the game right now then worrying about gil spammers.

Then why bump the thread? Raise awareness in your own relevant thread. Why are you here?

There are RMT guilds full of lvl 50's behind these spammers.
These RMT guilds use the hacked accounts as proxies, for trading and spamming.

Get to their core; find the RMT guilds by looking at gill transfers and what not, look for RMT activity and back trace.
Remove the RMT guilds and all their lvl50 RMTrs, remove the core, the spammers will go as well. Get rid of these lowlifes.

It's 2013. Put some effort into it.

reminds me of the time i got a gold seller to ignore ME in wow, all i simply did was ask him what he thought of his governments systematic rape of Tibet and its culture. He went on a rather amusing rant, and when i demanded to speak to his manager i was ignored.

Tho honestly my personal favorite when dealing with gold sellers was asking how much they had on stock, and smiling because i had more:)
