    I'm not the first to notice this, but the RMT spam seems to target classes below level 50. I can get several per day if I'm not on one of my capped classes, sometimes within minutes of switching.

    While I thought that might've been the likely case at first, I don't think it is now.

    They target everyone, even 50s. I could be logging in on one of my 50s and in my FC house and within a minute of logging in, I still get /tell spam from them.

    It is because they have a program that searches thru the search feature for a certain class/level/ect,ect. If they made it so people could turn anonymous on and off you would get allot less tells/ Most mmo's have this feature for that purpose. Right know anyone can search a certain class/lvl/ and tell anyone

    This is my biggest complaint about the whole game. I am paying money to be constantly harassed.

    A. you should be able to be anonymous.
    B. right click-->Report spam, and should also insta-blacklist the name.
    C. NO BLACK LIST LIMIT wtf, why does that even exist??

    Also, the FC and player bullshit PMs are equally annoying. I can't play for 10 minutes without getting spammed by either a gold seller or some tool who wants to pad his FC numbers and is willing to PM rape everyone in the zone to achieve it.

    Of the dozens of MMOs I've played, this is the WORST P2P MMO I've ever experienced as far as avoiding constant harassment.

    People are dropping their subs over this. I quit for two months hoping it would die down and now that I'm back it's actually worse. Why is SE ignoring this issue? It's costing them money.

    Totally agree, im getting about between 2 -5 pms a session, and since the messages are so big they take up my whole chat box sometimes twice over. Gettings incredibly annoying as a new player to be having this happen so often. IDk what they can do to try and fix it, but a report spam button like others have said is very much needed. Or have to be of a certian level to Pm.

    Totally agree

    My blacklist is over 1/3 full with ONLY Gil sellers. I've probably added 80 and about 10 of them showed deleted status so I was able to remove them. How do you not catch gil sellers? All they need to do is create a character and watch the PMs, which they obviously don't do. It's almost as if they only ones who get caught are using shouts, but private whispers are OK with SE.

    It would be so easy to fix, yet they don't care. For all we know SE owns the websites selling the gold. It's the only logical explanation for why nothing is done about it.

    Scanning the Marketboard for out of line sales and purchases is not efficient and traps too many innocent people =. Just because some doofus puts a common item up for 100 times it's value doesn't mean he's buying gil. He could just be stupid or preying on other lazy or stupid players. We've all seen that vendor item on the market for 10 times what it sells for 20 steps away in the next booth.

    Concentrate on the sellers, not they marketboard. Implement software that scans all messages and ban those ip addresses or accounts that sell gold.

    Make it unprofitable and it'll go away.
