RMT auto suspspension idea

[dcdistro]

We been talking on vent and I thought of this crazy idea...

What if you make a script that if say 400 people blacklist an individual they get a 3 day ban pending investigation. This is just a generic number so that its not abused. It could be 700-100 so that some FC just dont get pissed at someone who left and decide to be spiteful... Just an idea to cut down on the tells we see regularly.

Easily exploitable.

If I had to choose between getting some RMT tells and having easily exploitable sweeping nets from the developers that could very easily take away legitimate players ability to log in, I'd rather have the RMT tells.

SE should just limit the amount of people you can /tell in an hour. RMT works by sending /tells in mass numbers, normal players don't do that.

What I'd really like is a right click -> "report for RMT" option. I'm glad they made it easy to black list the RMTers but it still takes a while to report them and if you've gotten four in a row it can take a good while to fill out the form.

Edti: ^ Sometimes I'll have entire conversations in /tells so I'm not sure that would be the best idea.

well how about come up with an idea to make it so its not exploitable so the teams can take their time to work on other things like expansions, current bugs etc

If such a way existed, it would have been found in other MMOs by now. You will never be 100% rid of RMT, without removing player trading/economy and such. And the harsher you try to crack down, the more innocents get hit.

Even in EVE where you can buy in game currency completely legit(sort of, not directly), there is still RMT.

would 700-1000 people actually do that though?

I have a feeling that the person who shouted "Let's black list so and so just because lol" would be the one to get blacklisted. And even then… I highly doubt it would be enough to trigger the suggested script.

The SE GM & Support's Staff is limited resources and of course they're human too. I don't think they're able to do massive ban and investigate it within few days alas they just set range gil received / gil sent number and it will take more than 3 days to manually investigate each of the suspect player. Not to mention the RMT accounts, botter and farmer, at least several thousand or more than that.
