Gill Sellers SPAM!!! SE Please do something

I don't know about anyone else but I'm sick of seeing gil sellers spamming their advertisements as soon as I log in or walk into a city. Hell, even receiving excessive /tell as well. Surely there must be a little more you can do about this? This is worse that television advertisements. It's so excessive that I wouldn't buy anything from these people even if I were the lazy type of player who is to damn lazy or possibly even too thick to know how to generate their own income in the game!

PLEASE, at least give us a more flexible filter system so we can define text strings to ignore, etc...

I would like to thank you in advance, Square Enix, for you patience with us, your complaining customers (who write your pay check), and understanding our frustrations.

My blacklist is starting to fill up...
There should be a GM in each city banning them instantly

I agree. I have blacklisted and reported over 40 of them now.

They are doing something. I returned to Ul'dah after 3 or so hours of being gone to silence.

Beyond this I am hoping they implement a real time GM chat system. Ran into two groups of botters today farming areas, power leveling and gaining gil to sell.

SE might want to increase the size of how many people we can blacklist, 200 people isn't enough.

Telling us to use a cumbersome "report" system that is 4 levels deep into a menu is not a solution. It's time consuming enough to just copy/paste their names to blist them. If they need us to actually report the people that are you know..SPAMMING HUGE RED LETTERS IN CHAT as fast as they can press their macros then they should at least give us better tools like right click ignore/report functionality. The fact that they would even need players to see the obvious is ridiculous. They should have GMs banning them immediately. They could filter chat from outside the game and ban them. They could announce to players that anyone purchasing gil from 3rd party sites will get PERMA BANNED and then start banning buyers of gil and making it public how many people are getting banned. If people know they will lose their characters for good they might think twice about using these scumbag services.

What do you mean "do something"?
They just banned 828 accounts, how is that not something?

should have a report / blacklist feature right clickable through their name.

My blacklist has a scroll option now that i've had to add so many

Um... I don't know how to take it that after a full week of multiple characters shouting a line of URLs every second, every day, every city-state, every world, SE releases a statement that they have confirmed it is happening.

Also, silence is from the blacklist. Once again after reading a post saying SE is doing something, I log back in to find the same character reported ~5 hours before still shouting. This time, the same actual character is still standing in front of the Inn NPC in New Gridania, head and mouth moving non-stop.

I hope they get on top of this soon, but they/we are getting epic pwned on this one.

My experience on Midgardsormer today was that the Gil Seller spam was much reduced. Not completely gone, but reduced. That was nice; a step in the right direction. Thanks to SE for their measures to date.
