Afraid of RMTs need to end.

This game developers are very afraid of RMTs, that's why they taken out of easy method of earn Gil or reduce of earning.

This is silly, SE. RMTs has been around for many years. Even Runescape still have them! Nothing can stop them. Nothing! Even if you mange to prevent RMTs from send tell spam, they still will always find way to spam.

Question is, will you nerf or taken out anything in order to stop RMTs at all cost? Then it is pretty oblivious you care more about killing RMTs rather than improve things that need an improvement.

SE is actually combating RMT? We must not be playing the same game.
I login for a few hours on Sat. and received a dozen spams.

I turned off tell so I don't get any tells at all.

I have never see RMTs shout anymore so I assumed SE found a way to prevent RMTs from spamming shout.

I read this from a lot of Excalis.

On Sargatanas I can count the number of tells I get a week on one hand these days and I play almost every evening at EU prime time.
Aside from that, most of them don't even manage to send more than two tells in succession from the same character anymore so I hardly bother with blacklisting them anymore.

The only permanent entry on my blacklist is getting lonely.

It has to do with how many people are actually buying RMT Gil. Its still a/business, why would they waste money on buying a lot of accounts on servers where they would get less money. My server has em pretty bad too, which is kind of surprising since were suppose to be a medium to low pop server.

SE have said it many times, The RMTs are full investigated before an action is taken, they dont want to ban innocent players.

RMT's breed faster than to investigate a player.

How do people buy gils without gettig caught?

How do people buy gils without gettig caught?

While there is no completely undetectable way there are ways to stay "below the radar" so to speak.
How exactly, I cannot tell.

All the ways I can think of are all ways that raise alarm bells, on the other hand, why should RMT care what happens if a buyer gets caught. They have their real cash anyway.

Reporting spammers with name, world, and copy & pasted the exact message they sent me via tell (including time stamp) and I have only seen a single blacklist entry change to (deleted) out of like 30+ names.

As a community rep has confirmed last week, banned accounts are not deleted.
Any (Deleted) entry you see is a character deleted by the RMT itself.

You can pretty much delete any entry that is older than a day, or a week if you want to play it safely.
