Spammers/Gil Sellers

[KisaiTenshi]

Another way of "crippling" gil sellers would be to simply linearly scale the gil limit/inventory/trade-limit (including retainers) with the highest level of the character. Does nothing for the spam, but I saw this earlier:


Somehow I don't think anyone is going to buy that except a gold seller.

I believe that this is a workaround for transferring gil from one character to another on the same server without having to find or bother a trustworthy person as a go between. While I haven't done it, and wouldn't, it was the pretty obvious solution. Since you can't give stuff to yourself, you sell something worthless for the amount you want to transfer. Go to your character with lots of gil and buy. Go back. Hey presto. Now you have lots of money on the character you wanted, without doing much. You can do the same trick for sending sell-able items once you have all that money, transfer some of it back. This way you can create new accounts, farm the early level stuff for gold, transfer. Delete. Repeat. I am not condoning it since I think it is a violation of the user agreement. But just pointing out it may not be a gil seller.

Money Laundering is still illegal

My opinion is that this is really the case, then SE needs to prevent listing retainers from your own account.

I reported a few but then received this message. Basically, you're going to have to suck it up and it's not going away anytime soon. Personally, I would just /blist all that do this and not even report because it seems as if it's not going to matter how much you report them. See response below.

Thank you for taking the time to report RMT advertisements within the game.

We understand that it is frustrating to have these types of advertisements sent to you, since RMT can be disruptive both to chat and to the ability to enjoy the game. Unfortunately, due to the number of reports that we have received about this customer, a personal response is not possible at this time. Our efforts are being focused on investigating this advertiser, and preventing them from continuing to advertise in the game.

To help prevent further chat from this advertiser, we recommend using the blacklist, which can be accessed through the Social Lists menu (defaulted to hotkey O) > Blacklist > Add > Enter their name (case sensitive) or by typing /blist add Player Name (case sensitive, with the player’s name between quotation marks) into the chat box.

We encourage you to continue to submit tickets regarding RMT Spam. In your reports, if you have not done so, we ask that you include the name of the RMT Spammer in the Subject Line and an example of the spam you witnessed in the body of the ticket. We appreciate all the details you provide and thank you for your understanding during this time.

This is only meant to be a temporary resolution while we investigate, and you can remove them from your blacklist in the future once we have had time to complete our investigative process.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to create a more enjoyable and advertisement free environment for you to enjoy FINAL FANTASY XIV in.
