PSA About RMT Tell Topics

[Zaft]

RMT is easily stopped using Guildwork's built-in filter, but "a bloo bloo bloo guildwork is teh evilz" or something.

[Fortified]

Let's all stop fighting and start looking at these gifs of puppies in a bucket:

RMT complaint thread in disguise, I like it. The simple fact is that spamming begets spamming. RMT spam the game, people spam forums asking for RMT spam to be addressed, other people spam forums asking people to quit spamming. It's like a loud room where everyone is screaming "shut up!" at the top of their lungs. Maybe SE should revoke our speaking privileges for a while. No in game chatting, no forum conversations, just a 2-month quiet time. Might be the only way we'll get peace and quiet anymore.

And that is why we will never have the 1000 character limit or posting limits removed.

I somewhat have to agree with the OP. People are seriously overreacting to something that amounts to a mild irritation at best. They're only sending you /tells and friend requests, but the way people go on about it a stranger visiting these forums for the first time would think the RMT is standing outside your door threatening to rape your family if you don't let them in and buy their gil. RMT is not ruining your life. They aren't preventing you from playing the game. They're just annoying. SE is doing their best considering the nature of the beast so ease off the gas a bit and take a deep breath.

If you must complain, do so in a civil manner and put them all into one big easy-to-spot (for both SE and new posters) mega thread instead of spamming the forums with a bunch of little ones that burn out in a few days and disappear into the abyss.

RMT activity actually has a very drastic impact on players, even if you chose to ignore them, they are still driving up in game inflation. Choose to stick your head in the mud all you want, but if issue never gets addressed, don't expect any sympathy when grade 1 materia are going for 10M gil a piece, and people start using the excuse, "but everyone else is" when you get banned for buying gil.

1) FFXIV's economy is actually pretty stable so far as MMOs go, even with 2 years of constant RMT presence, and it's very likely to stay that way far into the future. Godzilla is more likely to knock on your door and ask for guitar lessons than RMT are to make any appreciable impact to any server's economy. They most certainly wont be causing the kind of inflation that would cause us to see grade 1 materia worth 10m.


2) People making RMT threads never complain about the potential impact on the economy anyway. Instead they're always foaming at the mouth over /tells and friend requests because being mildly annoyed is super serious matter apparently.

It will be a super serious matter when tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of new players unsub from Heavensward because the insane RMT spam is the first thing they see. It is super serious for existing players because they can't even use the private /tell channel to organize anything or talk in private with their friends. This has gone beyond the territory of being a mere annoyance and into the territory of something that ACTUALLY hinders gameplay.

i find it funny so many RMT complaint topics flooding forums atm which is doing exactly what they are complaining about.. everytime u open forum theres atleast 10-20 complaint topics in forums on the first 2 pages.. hope mods start taking actions aginst the flood of spamming same topics over n over instead of just commenting on 1 of those that already exists = =
