Does else anyone miss "open dungeons"? Old FFXIers?

I've played both games, I can tell you the power RMT has in FFXIV is a tiny fraction of the problems FFXI had up to the Chains of Promathia.

I bet everyone constantly has their blacklist full in this game. Never been spam so much in FFXI nor needed to blacklist gold spammers.

@Doo: people buy gil, but so what? The best that gets them is fast travel and some nice crafted gear that I can get the same or better at any level. FFXI I needed to pay 300k gil at level 20 to get leaping boots to be "party worthy".

So what?! So I stop getting the constant spams! It's annoying to have to block gold spammers every minute and camp against them when farming for fleece or whatever. Your issue in FFXI is make belief.

My blacklist isn't full. Town shouts have pretty much stopped on my server. Tells are down to maybe once a day and I dont bother blacklisting. Being noisy is not the same as being powerful. Even if RMT camps ever sheep spawn for fleece you can get fleece from leves using other materials. Fleece isn't preventing you from getting gear or money. I'm sure RMT died down as FFXI got older, but their effect on the price of gear was deadly.

On my server ( probably one of the lower populations), everyone I know has a full blacklist. You can still farm and all but the damage to the economy is severe. I don't agree that it's a "tiny" problem, it's huge. Bots in FFXI didn't prevent me from getting my gear either.

Mine's about to get there soon lol Though I've cleared out some of the deleted ones, they keep popping back up. Almost a full blacklist and it hasn't even been half a year, that's crazy. 8 years of XI and a few years of some other mmos and I've never had to blist anyone
