DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!

I've seen the same gold spammer standing in the same spot in Limsa for almost a week now. I really don't think SE is doing a thing about the problem.

One of these days I'll get around to creating a new chat tab for in city that disables yell and shout. I still like shout outside the city though.

Worst thing in game is to go from your usual city to a different one and get instantly bombarded with the other cities 5 competing gold spammers from oddly enough the same website.

Turn off /shout or if you're civil minded, just report them. They permanently banned 860-ish accounts recently for RMT, and the SE special investigation squad for dealing with RMT is pretty good. But what else do you expect them to do? It's not like they can stop stupid people from using the same password and username for unsecured sites (which includes fansites) or buying currency. All they can do is ban them as they come. Otherwise honest players get punishing, draconian **** like limiting your ability to chat just because some people need instant entitled gratification. >.>

Filter shout/yell. It drastically reduces the amount of spam you'll see. Sure you'll still get a few /tells in a day but that's better than not being able to see your chat log.

Not really its annoying to go to social tab and blacklist 3 people every time you zone. Needs to be rightclick blacklist if se doesn't want to put mods on server.

/blist add "user name"

No need to goto the social tab what-so-ever.

Pro-tip: Click their name to send a tell. Then reformat the text into the /blist add "user name" format in order to make text input easier.

I still dont see why SE doesnt add one of those verification email code things like Rift had.

Any account that doesnt have the security authenticator installed needs to input a code sent by SE to their email if they try to log in from a different (and especially foreign) IP address. If they dont do it then chat is disabled, and no access to banks or anything an RMT could want. If you have one of those PPPoE connections that change frequently (they still do those?) and it bothers you then get the authenticator. Honestly, this should be standard stuff.

I have also turned off /shout and /yell, but completely disabling game features to avoid RMT spam doesn't seem like a sound solution.

"/blist add <tt>" that is becoming a macro on my cross bar. +1 like

Ack! Don't use that one! Didn't realize til I saw my quote that I'd goofed - it should be /blist add <r>, which blists the last person who sent you a tell. /blist add <tt> will try to belist your target's target. ^.^;;

Agreed, this would be a great start, lets go SE!

The most disturbing thing to me about these Chinese gil sellers is, they wouldn't have a job if people weren't buying these gold packages.... Who are the D-bags that's actually supporting these loser gold sellers? Why would you even play this game if you're that pitiful of a person?
