Gold Sellers

[Chakoteh]

I have 60+ on my blacklist, all gil sellers... I think 4 of those have been deleted which means the others are still active players. I was copying and pasting the /tell or /shout and sending it to SE thru the cheating submission, but given that only 4 accounts have been deleted... not sure what they are doing with those complaints.

A block list should be used for players that you don't want to listen to, not filled up with gold spammers. Aion had this same issue and it drove me away and a lot of other people.
MMOs have had features out there to block them for years, so the fact that SE failed to implement anything to block them from the start is a major failure in my opinion.

-Lvl chat restrictions: 1-9; 10-19; 20-29; etc....
-Right click - report spam is even better. And it auto adds to a separate block list. If more than XX # of people block the same person they get banned entirely from chat.
-Shout time restrictions.

The fact that I've reported over 100 spammers using the in-game support desk and only 6 have been deleted from my block list is a serious disappointment. If something isn't done in the next month or so to address this issue, it will cause me to cancel the subscription, as it just screams "F-you, don't care, deal with it" attitude towards the player base.

You can copy paste. Many of you are blaming SE for the problem. It starts with the people who buy from the Goldsellers. Then proceeds to the people who fail to secure their accounts. Yes there are features in other games like Rift that made it easier to report RMT. You can report them in the support. All you do is send in the server, their name and copy paste their line, submit.

There also is a whole lot more going on other than spam, like instant travel, rapid harvest. etc. Sometimes its necessary to let things go rampant for a while to catch as many offenders as possible in one fowl swoop. As you saw a few days ago they have nabbed over 7000 accounts. Many MMO's start out like this, and over time the 'weedin' out of these posers will get done.

Quitting this early because of something so small only shows how little patience people have....Kids these days...

Exactly! Rather than whining about it, DO something about it. Immediately report it via the game. Copy and paste the tell/shout whatever in the 'detail' section so SE can see exactly what was said. Be the change you want, be proactive, report the gil sellers.

Some of those may have been hijacked accounts. People have been posting on the forums about this going on. Folks need better passwords and need to use Tokens to secure their accounts. Hopefully, SE is making them get a Token when they help them get their account back.

I actually deleted the entire blacklist when I got to 75 and it turns out none of them are still going by that point. Though my blacklist is back up to 8 now.

Maybe we can get some productive feedback from SE if we try approach them from a diffrent stance?

SE? How can we as a playerbase help solve/minimize the RMT problem? What is of value for u as feedback? Is there any help for u if we keep reporting every RMT action we come across, or is it just to overwhelming so that it cast shadow over other reporting trough ur ingame system?
I hope and think the playerbase is more than happy to help be a part of the solution (most part of it atleast).

Never interact whit rmt's speaks for it self ofcourse

Otherwise, thank u for a great game and strong comeback from FFXIV 1.0

It would be cool if there were an option to only get private messages from friends or party members :-)

How is this still an issue? It's nuts, every hour or so I have to add a new person to my block list. Get your shit in check Square.

Here's how they could fix it:

Newly created account characters or accounts:
-Can't use shouts or yells until lv 10.
-Cool down on global chats.
This isnt going to work because because they hack accounts... These people probably use 12345678 or password for their password and that why they are getting hacked but it happens (if I just guessed your password you may want to change it)...

Hacked Accounts:
-Report and ignore option added when you click/target on a name in chat.
-30 reports will mute them permanently and send a report to square enix to investigate.
(Judge debuff)
This is amazing and probably the only way that it would actually work if SE was willing to have a monitor play the game... I mean they will pay someone to monitor this site and suspend people who make comments but not gil sellers in game... Awesome priorities at least our chat is safe from spammers...

Strike their business:
-Put a gold transfer cap in mails and trades.

They already do this they have it locked at 1 million gil...
