Gil Spammers and sellers - a petition for a solution.

[pjcnet]

I am sick of taking ages reporting the gold spammers manually and from what I've seen SE aren't even banning them while they still haven't added a quick option to report and block them despite asking them to add this feature with every report while also seeing numerous forum posts also asking for this feature. COME ON SE SORT THIS OUT! As quick as I block one spammer, another appears. Some are even sending tells, while many others are repeatedly spamming the chat channels often so quick that the window scrolls up almost constantly making it very difficult to copy the usually randomly generated name along with the evidence. If only SE would simply put a member of staff online travelling between cities who could ban people instantly they caught it would soon put a stop to it, if these spammers get banned quickly enough before they get a chance to sell much or anything they'd lose money as each account costs. SE should also ban anyone who gets caught buying gold from these people too and make an announcement stating that there will be a zero tolerance on this issue beforehand, if no-one ever bought gold off these spammers there wouldn't be any point in spamming FF XIV ARR any more, so in many ways the buyers are just as bad and they're also cheating which is unbalancing the game economy while giving them an unfair advantage over honest players. Obviously people who are banned should be-able to appeal and report cases where they've been hacked. SE should investigate and reinstate any innocent victims quickly after their account has been secured properly. I'm sure SE have methods to distinguish between hacked accounts and the actual gold seller accounts themselves. To ensure you don't become a gold seller hacked victim ensure you use a very secure password that you don't use for any other online service that is preferably a random combination of letters, numbers and special characters, plus ensure you keep your antivirus software up to date along with anti-keylogger software if possible (some good anti-virus software has this included).

The bottom line is SE need to act now, yet they haven't even made any announcements what-so-ever about the terrible gold spammer problem which is worrying as they seem to have their heads buried in sand at the moment and it's just not good enough. Also I've never ever seen an SE member of staff ever reply to any player started forum post, let alone regarding gold spamming, WHERE ARE THEY? WOULD A SE MEMBER OF STAFF LIKE TO REPLY TO THIS POST OR A MODERATOR? Do any staff ever read any of these forums, if so then please REPLY TO THIS to prove it? (this is a good test - if staff never read the forums then we're simply wasting our time trying to petition them here about anything!)
