BlackList 200max - gold spammers - fix this

I found this on the Final Fantasy wiki:

Square Enix's Reaction: Square Enix bans RMT in both Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV. Nevertheless, RMT has had a significant ongoing presence in, and impact on, both games. This presence is likely due in part to the fact that Square Enix only bans the sellers, but never punishes the buyers in any way. They even get to keep their illicit purchases.

The Players' Reaction: Most of the players are indifferent to or outright hostile to RMT, but do not believe Square Enix is willing to do much about it. There is also a certain belief, not uncommon, among players that poorly thought out anti-RMT actions do more damage to players than RMT itself.


Of all the bullet points on the Final Fantasy wiki I found the last two to be most interesting.

* RMT advertise their services in-game relentlessly, producing an irritating barrage of noise that can't be blocked out.
* By exploiting easy ways to make money, RMT ensure that Square Enix will patch them out of existence, angering legitimate players by destroying their income.

'tis true. I find that SE intentionally designs content to counteract RMT but it has the adverse effect of being unfun to us players. I also feel that they don't do anything about this crap and rely heavily on poor game design instead.

Lots of way SE could crack down even harder.

1. Crack down through preventing new characters from trading gold/items until a certain level. Completely unnecessary for level 1-10 to be able to transact with anything.

2. Hire ninjas for assassinations.

3. Anyone who is blacklisted by 30 people ceases to be able to use tell chat.

4. I have no idea if this is true but I keep hearing the claim that stolen CCs are being used to purchase accounts for the RMT bots. IF this is true work with law enforcement to go after these guys - stolen CCs can put people in prison. Where they will hopefully be gang raped.

5. See step #2.

6. Like otherwise mentioned - expand blacklist to infinite and auto remove them from blacklist if the account is banned. Also if you blacklist one character tie it back to the account so you've blacklisted the account.
