FFXI population got hit hard because of the issues RMT caused. Bots everywhere... gil sellers... account stealing. I don't want to see this game get ruined by these people but the exact same issues are popping up again.
Gil sellers, bots, hacks and account stealing. To be fair those that have their accounts stolen probably deserver it for trying to buy gil but still...
Stop in now before it gets out of hand.

Saw my first hacker the other day mining. Had a speed hack. Reported him, doubt anything will happen though.

Yeah RMT is absolutely out of control. It's sad that new players are going to log in for the first time and be completely spammed with RMT ads.

Well, they dont speed hack anymore. Now they just instant teleport to the new location they need to be...

Man I agree with this. So far,from what I've seen (On the Phoenix EU server) is that just about all 3 towns have a stupidly high amount of gil spammers and it is just awful.

I saw the teleporting in Eastern Thanalan this evening. They go on Stealth and just teleport between logging nodes. It's so annoying. I counted at least 15 of them running around the one area like they were all playing tag. Plus there are multiple RMTs shouting in Ul'dah with different websites, all at the same time. My text box was just cycling through constantly with no let up, I couldn't even read what my FC was saying!

They really need to be aggressive with this, especially with the account stealing going around. It's crucial they deal with this swiftly.

Sadly I place a lot of blame for this profusion of RMT squarely at the feet of F2P MMOs, where even in the better ones buying power translates to success in the game, which seems to have infected more and more P2P than it used to. Though it seems to me it may start tapering off as I was noticing that earlier they were spamming $20 for 100k, then $10, shortly after $6 and now it's $4. Looks like demand just isn't there.

On faerie my LS found a speed hack stealth miner at lv50, a few of us went to report him. A day or two after his listings were gone and the char deleted, presumably by SE.
Though theres a strong possibility he got reported more times along the way to 50. -

Yeah, I saw my first 'bot today... a stealthed botanist harvesting in a low-level area... standing in mid-air, over the head of my Elezen character.

09-15-2013, 02:33 PMBulwyfI am so tired of seeing ignorance like this last part on the boards. People getting accounts hacked are NOT from buying gil but much more likely from using the same email and password on mulitple games and sites and if one gets hacked or data mined THAT is how their account is stolen.Quote:

I had to create a tab specifically for my FC so I can read what they are saying.

Teleporting isn't speedhacks, it's poshacks.
Might seem similar, but there's a world of difference. -
09-15-2013, 09:28 PMSymosAfter seeing this I'm pretty sure that this problem must be eliminated as soon as possible. Thanks for the link. It nicely visualize the issue.Quote:
