Stop RMT Spammers - Make TELL quest ability

[Wolf_Gang]

The problem with these suggestions is that people assume RMT are booger licking, mentally challenged. When they're usually smart/experienced programmers. Just because you had an experience with a "dumb" bot doesn't mean the people running it can't figure a way around some stupid quest.

Honestly, that's really getting old. We need a more permanent solution.

Permanent solutions are easy. SE just doesn't want to do it. Mass ban GILBUYERS. Sure, half the english servers will get banned. But it's worth it.
Look at JP servers - no RMT spammers, because no business for gilsellers.

You should have to farm Atma to send tells.

square enix should just start selling gil on their own , that would kill all the shady RMT's and help fund the game to become even better at the same time

That's a straight up pay to win model, which can serve to be detrimental to a community in the long run. Less affluent customers get discouraged and wealthier customers get bored.

Maybe so but, what can you really buy that would help you "win"? A FC house isn't going to get someone a turn 9 kill... buying the best crafted gear available and/or food/potions isn't going to do that either.
Money in this game is really just an annoyance. The only game people can "win" by having gil is the "I am rich" game....

I agree however it would wreck any kind of economy we have if square allowed people to buy gil on mogstation or something. How healthy is our economy really as it is though? Only people that get rich are the people that undercut auctions super frequent. It's not like any commodity in this game is hard to come by or rare. There is always another person willing to sell something for cheaper because stuff is just that widely available.

One of a limited amount of houses.
Crafting material sweeps.
Teleports anywhere.
Repairs at the wave of a hand.
In game bribery.

And as a base concept, I don't like the idea of shifting game balance because some of the players are paying more to get an advantage. I prefer us all to be on equal ground and show ourselves what we can do by simply playing the game as it is.
