Disturbing boundary-breaking power of RMT tells

[Quiz]

Excalibur, 8 to 10 RMT tells last day... very annoying.

Recently cleared my blacklist except for 2 people.

Excalibur, 8-10 every 5 minutes. Not even joking sadly.

...There is not much SE can do without restricting the game for normal players to lessen the RMT.

---------------------------------------
Bull hockey feathers. Its handled quite efficiently in many other subscription based mmo's. Please. Additionally we, the players have a shit-ton of inconveniences in place SUPPOSEDLY there because it HELPS stem back the tide of RMT. Yea.

Wow... that is bad.

It differs a lot on Sargatanas, one day I blacklist 5, and then it can be quiet for an entire week.
I have noticed that the advertisement bots are getting more persistent though, last night I blackisted one that managed to send me 5 tells in 2 minutes time.

Ul'dah. Just before I logged out I finished a dungeon, went to the kitchen and came back. Gone for 60-90 seconds. Had 4 RMT tells. 3 from the same guy and 1 from another.

Disturbing boundary-breaking power of RMT tells

<snip>

The fact that RMT can know of a character's creation within seconds speaks worlds about how horribly they've hacked this game

Far from, it, it's probably simply packet sniffing which is how many of their bots and hack tools work, in this case the bot could simply be faking a 'search' request and scraping the replies.

Yep, it's pretty bad on Excalibur. Wasn't as awful a month ago but the frequency of RMT tells is increasing

[Yurikitty]

This happened to my husband the other night. He was still in opening cut scene and he got at least 4 tells. And on our server the RMT are back in full force. I usually keep my list at 150. In 2 days it was back up to 170. They are almost as bad now as when this game launched. Obviously SE banning 600ish or so every few months isnt working, oh wait I forgot, SE doesnt give a shit lol.
