Reports do nothing

Sadly they are never going to win the war against RMT. However, they certainly did turn the tide once the report RMT function was added. Before that people would be spammed at least once or twice a minute through /tell, leaving them no real choice but to set themselves to Busy status which takes away from a key part of any MMO: the social interactions. RMTs would also spam friend list invites. It was bad. Really bad. After the report RMT feature was implemented I was never bothered again. If I see one in shout chat or /say I will report them though. Just consider yourself fortunate that you weren't here before we could easily report them.

Fair point. Just sucks that they don't IP ban them through their Internet Service provider. They have a seperate IP address for customers that the customer can't change themselves.

IP bans are easy enough to get around with the use of a VPN. Besides, a IP ban can very easily hurt innocent people who happen to use that IP address for a variety of legit reasons.

Come on now that's not true. Other games have won the war against RMT. Wildstar won it recently. Warhammer online did as well a while back as did City of heroes, Tabula Rasa, Star Wars Galaxies, Matrix Online... It's totally a winnable war.
