Same story as other thread. Log in, RMT tell within 30 seconds. Blacklisting is almost pointless. Banning the spam accounts doesn't work. It will probably never work.

The root problem is they they have gil to sell. Fairly straightforward thinking, I think. If they don't have gil, they can't sell it, right? And there's no point in spamming to sell nothing.

What gets me is... why don't they address that problem, instead of slapping bandaids on? Just have a script look for high-level players that do a lot of grinding and no social interaction. Compile IP address ranges. Track gil trades. Find the warehouse characters they feed.

Then, they just nail the warehouses. Cut the supply. Ban the lvl 50 grinders.

It takes a lot longer to level a character to get significant money than it does to roll a new one and start spamming people.

And for bonus points, maybe even inhibit the ability to send mass tells to everyone?
