Idea: Make RMT spammers killable after 100 reports.

[Renalt]

No. That makes it so people can be bullied. Besides the RMT bots outnumber a lot of people and can patsy others.

I mean..,
the requirements are spam..,
That would be alot of blood on the streets..,
<only PF-Other Category-, and Fellowships are safe if so..,>

Most of the bots are already underground when they're spamming anyway, making them killable would be irrelevant since you'd never be able to reach them. (You can find a bunch of them sitting under the Limsa Aetheryte in the cinematic afk cam if it jumps to one of them randomly)

All your solution would do is open an avenue for potential abuse on innocent players.

There is very limited information available what GM's actually do during their workday.
Taken from Main Menu > Support Desk > GM Service Main Menu:

Report a Real Money Trader (RMT) > "we're sorry for inconvenience. thank you." no feedback if any of our reports were heard or if they fall on deaf ears.
Report use of third party software (cheats) > "we're sorry for inconvenience. thank you. use the website because we can't do anything with it."
Report inappropriate behavior > "we're sorry for inconvenience. thank you." the stalker or harasser MIGHT get slap on wrist and 3 day suspension.
Report Violation of Agreement between players > I would love to see example of this. Do they make gil from thin air and give it to someone as compensation for scam? Any stories?
One time item restoration > one time per account meaning each time someone asks for help, another request of the same type will be denied. meaning less and less work over time.

what else?

Using the opportunity, I would like anyone who's made over 3 troll threads to be killable in peace zones.

I like how when someone made a thread about getting a strike on their account but not being told what it was regarding, the vast majority of this community dogpiled the OP and siad surely they must have done something wrong if they'd been reported. But now that we're talking about using reports to pvp rmt bots, suddenly we're all unanimously concerned about the report system being illegitimate and used to grief. I hope this energy carries over when the next "I've been gaol'd for naughty language but they won't tell me what I said" thread gets written (it won't). The contrarianism here is so predictable it's almost boring.

And for the record, OP's idea is bad but only because killing someone doesn't shut them up. If I kill a bot, it can keep spamming. We need a better solution. Like an active moderation team present to purge these things that pop up in the same places over and over again. Don't care what you call this squad. Take some of this game's revenue, right? And instead of spending it on another game that's gonna flop, spend it securing the actual game earning you consistent profits. Crazy shit, yeah.

Because the OP's idea refers to a set number of reports initiating an automatic activation of a system, which is something that can be easily abused and has immediate results. Take for example New World's hilarious drama about entire guilds mass reporting enemy players during PVP to instantly get them temp banned and thus, removed from the fight. The tactic was so overpowered that PVP devolved into report wars for a bit.

Contrast your topic, where it wouldn't matter if 100 sent in reports against a person, the GM would have to agree with the reports and believe there is actual substance for action to be taken, meaning there's a human element involved instead of automation, thus the ability for it to be abused is far intensely lower since the GM intervention requirement shuts down anyone sending in stupid reports. If someone gets sent to the Gaol, it meant one person believed that person did something against the ToS, and a GM agreed. Meaning it was a 2 v 1 on opinions, so its an easy stretch for people to believe the OP did something bad when a GM of all people agreed with the report.

They're not the same scenario and thus, people can have differing opinions on the topics presented.

When it's written that way..,
