Blacklist Expansion please...

[Seshayn]

For the love of god, please... I put 200 spammers on my blacklist in a month. I have added around 1500 names to my blacklist, please.... Stop making me delete 10+ people per day due to the 200 player limit.

You can actually safely delete most of the older names. Ones that get banned never get deleted because there's no reason to free up those names again.

[Seshayn]

Not if you are literally Blacklisting 10-20 people per day. 10 is a slow day. Accounts do not get banned at a rate allowing you to keep up with the rate of spammers. The first thing I do every day, is delete the first 10 on my blacklist, and the 1 or 2 deleted names (if I am lucky) and towards the end of the day, I have to delete another 10 just to keep up. So, frankly, with the rate of bans/deletions vs the rate of incoming gil spam, I would literally need 200% additional space on my blacklist in order to be anywhere close to a situation in which your suggestion solves the issue. It is appreciated however. :3

Siren must be awash in nothing but gil sellers, then. I mean, maybe it's just that I play at a weird time, but I usually don't get more than 2-3 individual sellers on any given day. And when I get 3 or more, I start thinking that they're being particularly annoying that day.

Isn't balmung a legacy server? Probably fewer there due to most people already being well off. RMT people like to target newer groups who are more likely to buy.

People are more well-to-do, yes, but the cost of living is also higher, so to speak. But, yeah, it's probably a mix of the legacy server thing and that I play when most of NA is asleep.

It's more that I play for exceedingly long sessions at a time, days I have free (of which there are plenty) it isn't uncommon for me to spend 12-14 hours actively doing things in game. The likelihood that the average user receives more RMT spam than I do is very low. That said, it does not change the fact that those players who dedicate their free time to this game receive an absurd amount of spam that is harder to regulate due in large part to the clunky limited system of the blacklist.

Edit: Just as I finish posting this, and tab back in to reply to a friend, I type /r Sure. And I get the message "That player is on your blacklist"

This. Is maddening. BS. I cant use the quick reply function within more than 5 seconds of a tell from a friend because someone on my blacklist attempted to spam me, and though the message didn't go through, it got far enough so that I cannot use the reply feature. This also needs to be addressed.

Agreed. They really should update the /reply feature to reply to the last person who actually got through to you with a tell instead of the last person who attempted to send you a tell as it does now.

It would be nice if, just as the blacklist shows which characters have been deleted, it could also show us which of them are banned. That would make it easier to know which ones we can safely remove from the blacklist. If they want to streamline it a bit further, a couple buttons at the top of the list for "Remove all deleted characters" and "Remove all banned characters" would make that far simpler for players to manage.

[Amnesia]

Why should they highlight which have been deleted or banned? They should just automatically remove those names from your blacklist. I really don't understand why they don't already do that...
