RMT nuisance PLEASE STOP THEM SE

[Zabuza]

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 suppose that's why it has 200+ sigs and 300+ likes huh? Clearly just eight people. Probably half or more of the posts on that thread are from others.

myself included because RMT is a problem. im not trying to diminish the thread itself, but some people really enjoy overstating the importance of some things. also, if it wasnt obvious, my statement of 8 people is a pretty blatent exageration. the only real way to completely shut out RMT is to make all items untradeable. it would bring an end to the market, and point of having gil, but gotta stop rmt right?(again, please note that this is a very bad exageration).

edit: actually, if you look at that thread another way, it tells that no one really cares what RMT does because if anything, those numbers are low in regards to the whole player base.(this is ignoring that the people who frequent the forums are in the minority).

47 friend invites?? Is that even real? I'm almost never busy and at most I receive 2 friend invites before time expires or whatever and their request dissapears.

There are but a handful of threads with over 1,000 replies in the General Discussion forum, and even less threads that got to that amount of replies so quickly. This tells me this is actually a rather pressing concern for the playerbase on these forums. I have no proof but I'd be willing to bet it's a problem for those who don't visit these forums as well.

i agree with that for the most part, but the replies portion is a bad number to use without applying unique replies.

The only sure fire way to deal with RMT is for players to stop buying there gil. Sense that will never happen, then RMT will never go away. Don't blame SE, blame the players, they are the only one at fault.

:P

I see this a lot, and it's true, but only in a very technical sense. Like, world peace is easily achievable, we just need to stop having wars.

A 1-step solution isn't necessarily easy if that 1 step is something ridiculously difficult to accomplish

Indeed, the goal of stamping out RMT in a way that would satisfy this or any community that is bothered by it. Is the same as the goal to achieve world peace. imho

Sorry for using a rhetorical device. Moving on.

So you really think getting everyone to stop buying gil counts as a 1-step plan? That feels intellectually honest to you?

It's more of a nuisance to see this thread over, and over, and over again....

Now SE knows what RMT spam feels like.....

I accept that there is no magic bullet that will make RMT spam go away. But there needs to be a MUCH easier way for players to report it. Right now you have to fill out a form for each one, and that is FAR too much effort. We should just be able to right click the name - report RMT spam - and have it automatically block that person and remove their text from our chat window. This is the way that the MMO's that have gotten a handle on this have done it. Because most players are not going to go to the trouble to fill out a form every time they get an RMT spam message. But they WILL go to the trouble to right click - report spam.
