RMT Imitating Legit Players with Names

[Syrellaris]

Multiboxing is however not against the rules as far as I am aware. Is it annoying? of course it is and to my opinion it should be a bannable offense, however right now, i doubt it is. Multiboxing and botting at the same time.. yeah that is an offense, but only due to bottin.

[FayaAOP]

Well were do you draw the line between multiboxing and having 2 teams of 4 on 2 different locations, watched over by one person to make sure nothing unexpected (like me trade locking them) happens?

A quick problem that could arise with the many postings would be a conflict between large FC's, "report X Name everyone"

Which is bullying, and I'd consider that harassment, which of course is another offense. A whole FC gets a time out? I pay to see that :P

[Alyko]

OP, do you have any specific examples we could see on the Lodestone?

Someone on Excalibur was just talking in Mor Dhona /sh that they were gil hacked while in Limsa not minutes ago. I guess it's still happening....

I haven't been in any of the 3 cities in days. At all. I'm scared to & I don't want to have to deal with GM or Customer Support if anything should go bad.

Again? we need to get more info on this if it's true and tell as much ppl to stay away from Limsa.

What a sad state of affairs.... Players are avoiding areas in fear of being hacked more so because of the hurtles they have to go through to get support.

It's not that easy though. Because they are impersonating players. So there's a good chance when you enter a name in a report you may misspell it and report a innocent person. The human brain will potentially see some of the letters in a name how they're suppose to be rather than how they actually are. The RMT are taking advantage of this.This, RIGHT THERE, Square soft Enix (that's right Middle name, you're in trouble) is why there needs to be a click > add to blist as well as a click > report function. If you are THAT concerned about innocent people getting in blisted/reported then have a confirm option that will pop up.

Which should be in place anyway for inviting people to Free Companies and linkshells anyway because I've invited the wrong people when I was just trying to examine them.

Even when doing this, we still see the same bots over and over again. Doing the same thing over and over again. I reported dozens of them, and I still see them, still spamming away, or still gathering away. What is the point of reporting them if they aren't being removed?
