Blacklist Expansion please...

[Viridiana]

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 really would be nice. Or if we could set up custom filters to automatically block any tells that include certain phrases of our own choosing.

Diablo2 had that on 1.13
People started creating lists on chan and etc, and gold sellers grabbed too and started to write spam based on dodging these lists.
Not enough

That's EXACTLY what I though - local dictionary based chat filter - that would be a GOD SEND!

Why do you think the spam uses weird letters to spell out web addresses and some of the other text?

It would be not only to filter the Gil sellers and RMT but any kind of unwanted shouts and yells - are you fed up by all those "LFG, LFM, ATMA" shouts? Three clicks and voila - your chat log is free ...

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.

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.

Yeah, it won't work if people make lists for other people. It would have to be lists that you make yourself. Aka. YOU choose how you want to block them.

The reply function is so useless right now...

[HEC]

Yeah /r is pretty much useless. What they should also add is an option in setup to change WHO can send you tells with following options (common in any IM system):
- anyone
- your friends and FC members
- whoever you've sent tell to since last login (in this active session)
- noone

Just stop feeding RMT buying them services, and the problem go away from the root.
