RMT Spam

[Kat_Manx]

Gotta love that handiworl.

Honestly it now takes 2 (!) button presses to block a rmt bot. I haven't seen a situation where that's not enough. Even an endlessly scrolling spam can be completely blocked in only 4 seconds.

Still I am suprised why they don't make the bans credit card info based. Even RMT can't get a new visa every 3 seconds. Just blocking the created character isn't enough.

I agree, that's what I've noticed too. Very few names get "(deleted)" on the blacklist, even though I've reported well over 100 different ones. It's true that the account could be suspended, leaving the characters intact but unplayable - but I'd love to see SE delete all of the advertising characters from an account when it gets sanctioned. At least I would know that they're doing something, instead of just feeling like they aren't giving this problem enough attention.

at the very least bit we should see <suspended> instead of the name or some symbol that shows the account is suspended or inactive

The relative ease of blacklisting someone isn't the point. The blacklist only holds 200 names, and I've maxed it out...twice. After each time I completely empty it and start over.

Surprised the RMT hasnt learned to use the block letters yet.

I don't know how either QQ

Can anyone think of why? Because it obviously worked in JP servers.

its called supply and demand.
obviously there is more of a demand on US/EU servers then on JP
also JP dont play. u aggravate them and they will report it. EN players give up too often (myself included) due to the inconvenience of it all.
play a JP game and you will see that even if it took 30 mins to report someone.... it will be done.

it goes sooo beyond the 2 buttons. reporting matters. b-listing is moot.

There you go

Please compare JP servers and NA servers. Make a temporary character in a JP server if you want. You will notice there is NO RMT spam. I have not received an RMT tell for over 3 months. There were lots of RMT tells during the first 1-2 months of the game, but it fizzled out after that.

Yoshi admitted himself - NA/EU players tend to rather "pay 2 to win" than want to pay for a subscription, so it's honestly no surprise that RMT spam is more on here. I noticed this as well, and it's not because RMT are "nicer" on JP servers lol.

Probably because RMT are generally bots that can't type Japanese or how about the chance that the JP players don't care about purchasing Gil while NA evidently do. If nobody bought Gil, they would leave, it's that simple.
