RMTs killed Tell chat channel

[Doo]

People buying gil is the biggest cause of the problem. It's not SE's fault that there's RMT spammers, it's the fault of those players who buy gil.

In my all honest opinion, the problem lies squarely on the PLAYER BASE not SE.

But at the end of the day, this all falls on the player base. STOP BUYING FREAKING GIL.

Why do people keep stating the obvious ? All I want is better filtering options that's available in F2P games.

Because people are dumb as hell and act like it is SE's fault (and/or that they're in league with the RMT spammers).

Well it is S.E's fault that reporting sucks and doesn't seem to work and the available options to block them sucks as well.

I'd settle for a "Report for spam" option when clicking on a name that mutes the offender, much like what Blizzard has for World of Warcraft. As it is, the current method to report spammers takes me a couple of minutes. But, it could be worse. Could be how reporting is done in Aion (which they've never improved since beta).

People been complaining since beta, if nothing has happen since then it's never gonna happen.

Just go into the General Selection option and un-click the /tell box and you won't get anymore tells.

Because you and everyone should know by now, the tell function is useless it's only for Gil seller operations sooner you realize this the better.

I can't even talk on it to someone without getting blasted by a RMT 20 times before they logout quick before I could blist them.

then they switch characters then do it again, I was using the "Busy" for a bit to stop them but it also stops friends from messaging you also, so basically the tell option is very broken.

I reported them before, seen the very same RMT spamming me for hours one day nothing was done, so yeah just shut off the tell option SE isn't gonna fix it anytime soon.

Sigh, tell is such an important function to lose for players that are social. Maybe it's like FFXI, S.E will only start caring when it effects JP players. So that means never.

5 tells a day? Who is that lucky? Recently it has been so bad as 5 tells a minute from DIFFERENT characters, blacklisting all of them can help for about an hour + shout and yell spam has returned!

I usually don't even get 1 - 2 a day. Maybe some servers are worse that others... but then again I play on a server where character creation is typically locked most of the time

Can anybody who has swapped from a JP server to a NA server or vice versa help confirm that this only happens on the NA side?

Yes, there are no gilseller tells on the Japanese servers.
