How to eliminate Real money gil sale spammers

[Chihaya]

Whatever dude.

First off, "Westerners" isn't even a thing. There's like 100 countries on the West hemisphere of the planet, who speak different languages and have different customs.

Secondly, there's no need for PMs for most of the game, let alone below lv15. If you want to talk privately with someone you just met, add them to your friend list or form a party!

1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_world how people usually accept as "westerner" and "easterner" though that doesn't really matter on my server we only got 2 type of people, 日本人JP　and 外人gaijin.

2) Keep your own play style to yourself. Some people actually try to make friends from low level and would actually want to know the person a bit more before adding them to flist.

By limiting PM is not going to do anything, you are just going to see shouts/say/yells in the starting cities/mor dhona/coerthas, anywhere where people are going to gather. Nor is botting to level15 or whatever is hard. There's already bots out there that runs FATES, you can even try to youtube some of these. SE is pretty notoriously bad at banning these bots, I don't see much teleport harvesting bots on my server anymore but spiritbinding bots is rampant. Got these people with 1 level 50 class - everything else 0 and no job, but class that just sits in the same spot killing things that is within their attack radius, never moves. Once in awhile goes back to town and literally spends over 5 minutes converting all the bound gear. Same bots been around for many months, nothing been done.

You're not going to get rid of RMT if there is demand for what they are selling. You can hinder them at the cost of possible collateral damage to the legit players, but they are not going to go away, they will find new ways to advertise.

However, if there is no demand, you aren't going to have much RMTs. Here on Mandragora, my blist is empty and I haven't received any RMT tells in at least a month, they don't have much business here and leave.

As for people saying to legalize gil selling... gil is already relatively worthless on XIV, selling it would just make it worse. For now, the only thing that you actually need a lot of gil are the FC housing... might as well sell the house? While we're at it, going down a slippery slope, let's sell tomestones? Make this into a pay to win game (with subscription since Yoshida says it's never going to be f2p)

Could you possibly keep your own personal bigotry and over-inflated nationalism off the boards? It's not alright when I've seen my fellow Americans do it and it's no less disgusting when people from other countries do it.

None, zilch, notta.

And this is exactly banning PM going to do to RMTs, you replied before I finish my edit to get past the character limit.
You can go ahead and call everyone in the thread that's against your "method" a RMT, but it just sounds like you're losing and resorting to name calling.

Though I originally posted that more of a joke, especially the 2nd part of that, I guess it didn't come off as that.
I'm just stating that there are what people consider Western and Eastern cultures, not saying either are good or bad, but just different.

Though nothing could match this phrase
