Stop RMT Spammers - Make TELL quest ability

[AmnesiaHaze]

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.

yea , i was being sarcastic , a better solution would be to increase the blacklist to 1000 slots considering the amount of spammers

If we kill /tell, they'll just go back to mass /shout.

I do not miss that. Not at all....

Losing /tell would be a total pain, as I have a few friends in the server that belong to other FCs and aren't RP'ers, so aren't in any of the same Linkshells. If I want to say hello and see what they are up to, /tell is the best method.

Those things are all well and good, and LOL at "In game bribery" but still, do any of those things help you "win"? I guess in a sense of the real world, having a nice house and stuff is considered a "win" so maybe you got me there.

In a sense of completing content and watching cutscenes you haven't seen yet, I don't think money really helps with that. Sure repairs but, have you ever known anyone so broke they couldn't repair... Well maybe I can remember an instance of that happening once or twice. :P But that was more of a issue of poor money management instead of buying a "win"... Throwing money at that kind of problem (poor money management) isn't going to make it better... lol

These Gil spammer tells get worse when the game is on sale.. . I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Please, make TELL a quest given ability already.

Because gil sellers won't know how to do a quest that would clearly be available from the moment you start your character?

Or maybe make it level limited so you need level 5 or something? Right because RMT can't gain 5 levels?

These suggestions will not lead to a solution and would only hinder legitimate players.

You wont get rid of them anytime... many tried, many failed.

I´d just like some comfort in it...

one, I created myself, by a Macro blacklisting my last /tell... done in 2 clicks...
Now what would be nice - make reporting easier* - something which comes within a context menu would be nice.
erase reported and guilty characters** and automatically remove them from my (and others) blacklist...

until then, I will fill up my blacklist, never will care to clean it out, and finally disabling /tell in my chat completely...


* Support Menu just takes way to long to load....
** which i guess won´t happen, cause it would look bad in subscription statistics *gg*

that macro will only work until you reach 200 (which i reach moths ago) , then you will have manually remove one spammer for each new you add , not sure if that can be macro's , hence im suggestin give us atleast 1000 spammer slots in blacklist , as a paying customer id like to not having to go through such hassle just to protect myself from spams
