Petition for a Realistic Solution to RMT's

[Spy]

The only way RMT is going to fully stop is when players STOP BUYING GIL. And we all know the likelihood of that happening.

Right you are, but I don't expect a full stop, just a respectable reduction.

This is true. However, SE needs to go after the websites that sell the gil and shut them down. They not only violate the game's ToA, but it's a phishing scam to steal accounts.

I want to see a better system to handle the flood of /tells from them (I get at least one every ten minutes here on Gilgamesh). A blacklist was a good idea in theory, but we really don't need to keep an ingame list of those we don't ever want to hear from again. And it fills up very quickly, only to have me go back and purge the deleted ones every week so I can /blacklist another round of new gil spammers.

I think instead of a blacklist, have /ignore and /report gil spammer buttons. No list to keep ingame, just 2 simple buttons. Report gil spammer for the actual spammers that sends a report to SE, and an Ignore for those players that are just jerks.

This solution already exists. At least with Google:

Phishing - https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
Malware - https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/

After an investigation, if they deemed the complaint to be of value, they will filter out the website from their database. I'm sure Bing, Yahoo!, and other search engines also have some kind of feedback mechanism. However, if you're just going on hunch but cannot provide actual proof, then these mechanisms will not work and neither will SE bother dealing with it.

I was enjoying this game (aside from having to blacklist often), now my list is full and I am constantly spammed. Fix or I'm gone, sadly.

No one should have to put up with that, especially in a big name sub based MMO.

Reducing RMT's isn't an easy task, but employing some basic chat filters and Right-Click>Report should be, and that's all it would take to at least improve our gaming experience. So how about we start with that for the next "hotfix, SE?

Honestly, this is the only way to get the spam fixed. Vote with your wallets. SE is notorious for both poor customer service and sticking their heads in the sand when a problem arises. No surprise it's happening again here. As the RMT spam seems to only be an issue with NA servers I think SE isn't seeing it as how big of a problem it is. The only way they will is when people start leaving. I myself have maybe two weeks left till my account expires and my primary reason is because I found another mmo that's just as fun that I'm not being spammed to oblivion on.

2.55 is upon us and not a single peep about the rampant RMT problem...

I wish every time a RMT related thread got bumped, Yoshi-P's cellphone would make the same noise as an in-game tell.
