Reporting Gil Seller Options.

[Deathcharge]

Tiggy ... our job is nOT to create and monitor situations like that. That is the job os SE. Now you have heard that there are punishable things for abusing the system. Well SE can always implement something like that.
Again abuse can happen if things aren't monitored. LIKE WITH ANY REAL LIFE event.
the truth of the matter is SE has NOT placed a proper audit system for banning GS. And if you played from Beta you will remember that at launch we didn't even had the option to properly blacklist them.
And Remember PS4 is NOT equipped with copy/paste feature. But again WHY are people saying that we need to go thru the trouble of 100 steps to report abuse when it can be added to the system with just a click of the button ??

How about reporting gil buyers too!

[Deathcharge]

How do you know if they are Gill buyers or not? I don't really care if people use real money to buy extra in-game currency. I have both Miner and Botanist at 50 so if i wanna buy something i farm tip i get it.
I really can't comprehend why people feel the need to defend the broken "Blacklist/Report" System we currently have. The system is broken and needs fix all you need if make 1 GM stay in a city for 30 min at least and they can weed out 60% of this accounts. And if this accounts banned where hacked accounts the person can actually ask for it to be re-instated.
This is simple stuff and it IS within the GM areas of responsibilities. I once had a friend pulled by a GM because his name was "Offensive" . You can even have GM rotate to monitor different areas for at least 1 of their 8 hour shifts and this spamming would end.

I do agree there needs to be an easier way of reporting, something like the way we add to blacklist.

Bump"....................

So wanted to hold off till update notes to see if they did anything... People that have been blacklisted can't join my parties, All the tells from blacklisted people will be removed. Obviously SE is looking to GS but are taking BABY steps to deal with them. I don't think we as a community should let this issue go since it will improve quality of life in game. I did reported 2 different accounts yesterday ... I have yet to hear from support.

I don't report spammers. SE did not make reporting easy in this game. All the information has to be manually input into a form. If I report every single spam-tell I get everyday this game is going to turn into work. I'm not going to pay to play a game just so I can perform work.

And every time I report a spammer it's going to make me hate this game. I know this because the spammers were the final straw that made me quit the last time. Just got fed up with it. Even now I've already turned off my notification sound for tells and pretty much contemplating turning off tells altogether. It is so annoying, I don't know how people experience this sort of harassment and not get mad. I've never really used it much to begin with and I doubt I'm the only one who's thinking or have already turned their tells off permanently.

I've recently only come back and I've been severely disappointed that there still isn't an automated reporting system for spammers. This is such an old feature in older MMOs I'm kind of scratching my head why FFXIV still hasn't put a similar system in. WTF guys, this type of problem shouldn't be left for the customers to deal with.
