Gil Sellers Becoming More and More Annoying

[Gextiv]

Do not get rid of the gil sellers. Use 'em.

Ban the people who buy the gil from the gil sellers. Keep doing it until there is no demand from the player base.

And again:
Give us an "ignore by level" function!

RMT spammers almost never level. So ignoring all below lv 10 would eliminate that problem almost completely.

Friggin ridiculous, in WoW we can do it with a simple addon. Here, we have to endure that crap.

Also ban those dumb bots already. There is the same goddamn bot that kills the same 2 Bats in the cave to Urths since I started this game nearly 2 months ago.
It's painfully obvious that SE doesn't give a damn.

Sure, why not. Let's test that theory.

Oopsies. It's already not working for ArcheAge.

Does anyone know if the EU servers have this problem too? I honestly can't remember the last time I saw RMT advertised anywhere on my server.

EU-Cerberus:
get about 5+ Wispers a day.
Annoying but not crippling.

It's the ones with attached friend invites that make me mad, because as someone stated: Blacklist should auto reject any open requests immediately!

Yeah sure if the Company is too incompetent to actually break the bots / ban bot users it will not help.

I don't get it why almost every experienced player can spot an obvious bot, yet the company full of professionals apparently CANNOT BAN THAT BOT even if tons of people report it.

Only one conclusion: They don't want to.

If SE did what Archage did to their bots (level req to tell/shout/PM/ect.) can you imagine all the bots leveling in low level zones and destroying the fates in the process? getting atma from low level areas would be near impossible as fates would be finished too quickly... At least, thats what I think would happen.

FYI, on Ultros I've now seen a legion of farming bots running around the Thanlan areas, underground. You can see mobs dying and then sometimes target them underground. They're all Thaumaturgist so they can spam fire upwards at mobs above ground.

Its working fine that i can see, nobody wants to recieve tells from those pesky new players anyway (sic)

But joking aside, The limiting based on player level does work, so long as it is implemented properly.

New players should only be able to /tell people on their friends list
New players should not be able to friend request players (but should be friend requestable.) - There can be a safety for new players who want to be friends with each other, that works by them both friend-requesting each other.

New player can be anywhere from level 5 to level 10, honestly, the RMT /tell bots are NEVER, higher than level 1 that i have seen.

More people doing fates = atma farming getting easier.
Those bots would actually help atma farmers.
Yes they would finish the fates quickly, but that would also trigger them much more rapidly, enabling you to stay in one area of the map.

What may seem obvious to us does not equal enough proof to ban the bot. The only thing a char can really be doing that is blatently wrong is position hacking. the pos hacking bots I see are usually gone pretty fast on my server. If they are not position hacking how do the GMs/Task Force confirm they're bots? Send them a /tell? There's normally SOMEONE manning those 5-6 computers running the bots who can reply to a tell and even if there is no reply it isn't against ToS to ignore a /tell from a GM. I know people who Gather/Craft for hours on end. They'd fit the criteria for most peoples' idea of a bot but they clearly aren't. It also isn't against ToS to have a legion of alts on /follow all wearing the same gear.
