Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

[Niwashi]

We're aware of the increased friend request activity by RMT characters and we’ll be implementing new countermeasures in Patch 3.1.

Thanks, but I'd rather you implement some countermeasures against RMT /tell activity, like the ability to report it simply and directly from the chat line (like we've been requesting since the game launched). That's still the far bigger problem.

Still, I guess it's nice to hear at least some minor bit of the issue acknowledged.

What good does it do though? You don't get rid of anyone useful if they just squash the bug that appears out of nowhere, you have to find out where the nest is. RMT have to be lulled into a false sense of security to be taken out, to make it to difficult for them to proceed forward however if you just become more and more aggressive towards banning pawns all you do is ban pawns, you don't ban where it hurts, the ones holding the gil.


That's why the feature is kinda pointless, there is already a way to report RMT through support and quite honestly it should be enough, let them know the name and they go from there but quite honestly, do you really think it leaves a good impression when a simple right click would have the option "Report RMT". Consider that for a second and understand why the report function should remain through the support section and not become a part of the right click options when you select a persons name.

Wat. Making it difficult to report means LESS people bother with reporting. Making it as easy as "right click-report" means far more people will take the time to report problem characters/accounts.

As for your "false sense of security" strangeness - is that what SE's been doing for the past 3 years? I'd say that whatever sense of security the RMTers have, it is far from false at this point.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
