Increase BlackList Size....

Pro tip, erase the RMT you BL after about 3 days. My BL hasnt even hit past 15 in like almost half a year now.

The only names on my blist are the annoying player casinos. I don't even bother with RMT at this point; it's one of those things where it feels like it's just never going to change, so I just try to tune it out as best I can.

The way I deal with RMT:

1) Don't park your character in the three ARR cities. I notice more RMT when I'm there. Do MB and retainer things in the housing wards instead.

2) Don't BL the spammers. It will cause you more trouble than it prevents.

3) Move tells to a new window. Check it only if it flashes to notify of an unread message.

4) Don't bother reporting spam bots. It wastes your time, which RMT bots are not worthy of.

5) Report actively playing gil buyers and sellers, even if they are your fc buddies. Get their sorry asses banned. They are the reason eu/na is plagued by this garbage and jp isn't. No market - no advertising.

I don't think it matter how many times they increased the size, it will always get full. They have to start Banning and deleting more Accounts so the list doesn't get fill as quick.

Imagine if they increased the number to 1,000. Sure, your main Character will hardly have any RMT tell. But imagine making a new Alts Character. You will have a hell of a time filling that 1,000 size again.


Like I said, increasing the number won't fix the issue.

Good luck with that.

The gil spammers don't use the same account for long, so like others have said, if you clear your blacklist every 3 days or so, you won't get tells again from those accounts.

How many tells are you getting though OP? If you wait 3 days to clear, is it going to be a ton of accounts to clear?

I really have no idea, that's why I'm asking... Before this week, I've only got 1 RMT spam since like April this year, and maybe seen 1 spam in /say chat. This week I've gotten 2, because the population have dipped while everyone is waiting for 3.1.

The reason I brought that up, was like someone else mentioned, the Japan servers doesn't seem to have any problem either, and we all know that SE listens more when it comes to them. If they had a problem with it, they would probably have come up with a better way to handle the spam by now.

This is a different server type of thing, I'v blisted RMTs and days to weeks later i take them off and get tells from the same ones i blisted weeks prior.. so this is certainly not true for all servers.
