RMT nuisance PLEASE STOP THEM SE

[elemental10]

Supply and demand, my fine friends.

Players keep buying from em, why do they want to stop?

The bigger the playerbase, the more chances someone will actually buy from them.

Over 100 pages pleading for SE to do, even say, something. Not 1 hint of recognition. If that is not ignoring us what would you call it?

why anyone uses the default number of posts per page i will never know. i see 26 pages. also, a large portion of posts in that thread is a giant circle jerk of the same 8 people.

I don't know what thread you are looking at but the 1 I linked now has 101 pages with 1009 posts. And SE still say nothing.

Two Options:
- /busy
- Turn off/ignore the chat box.

No harm done on your half. Now stop with these pointless threads? That dead horse must be getting tiiiiiicked.

One more thing; You think it's a good, fair idea to ban new players/characters for 72hrs just for sending /tells,/shouts and friend requests? My god, I pray to Hydaleyn that we ain't on the same server.

I believe I may have found the only viable option left for dealing with RMT. Just ignore the spam. Go through the 4 button click process of declining their friend requests and just play the game. It's apparent that only the very small handful of RMT that SE are going to ban when the banhammer waves happen will be the ones who are banned. Those RMT will just repurchase the game, make new accounts, make new characters, and continue to spam us until we all pull our hair out to the point that we're all bald, IF we let them get on our nerves. There are SO very many threads. SO very many concerned players. Zero response from any community mod on the issue. It's obvious. We are NOT going to get a response. Sorry to be pessimistic. Truly I am, but I have given up.

When those with the power to actually do something to alleviate the playerbase from the annoyance caused by the RMT choose to only do the little that they actually do, with a STF of only 3 people, and no indication that there will ever be any more than those 3 working on the issue, and with the problem only continuing to be as bad as, if not worse, than it has always been, it's hard to have any faith that it will ever get any better.

Here's to hoping that the game is very successful, and has a very long lifespan, even though a large portion of the playerbase pretty much has to suck it up and deal with the RMT plague with only the very little help that is provided by the company who developed the game and accepts our sub payments. I can only hope that new players are as understanding as we are and decide not to vote with their wallets and that they continue to play the game rather than leave with a bad taste in their mouth due to the fact that SE are not actively banning RMT accounts as quickly as we might like them to.

Balmung, The last strong hold. Where RMT only very rarely slip by server lockouts.

This is a very good point. This could explain why I don't see very much RMT. It's not easy to create new characters on my server. So I'll admit the situation could easily be far worse then I assumed. I feel silly for not making that connection, when I switched servers, and had a lot less issues with RMT messages. Nevertheless acting like SE is doing nothing, or seeing posts they give saying they are doing something, and claim that isn't anything to shake a stick at, or claiming its doing NOTHING is just foolish. I hate feeling like I'm white knighting this thing, but I understand both perspectives. It's not a simple fix, if it was there would be no RMT on any mmo. It wouldn't be a thing. I think people need to stop acting like nothing is being done, or not enough is being done. RMT is a global issue, they been at this forever and have extreme programming knowledge. For many its there lively hood, so they make it their top priority to make this RMT activity possible in any games that they deem ripe for gil/gold selling. Blame them for being so effective, and knowledgeable of programming, for making it so hard for SE to stop the activity at the level you deemed worthy of being called, "doing something".

SE really need to add features to stop this, it can put new players off. Stuff like detecting certain speech patterns, or making it so you need to reach level 15 or something until you can tell/add friends (only exception being a "recruit a friend friend"). The RMT team they've got is doing a good job, but the root of the problems needs to be tackled.
