The new RMT tricks

[Shadowedge]

Just limit tells for players with less than a week of playtime. 1 tell per 20 minutes or whatever. Fair for everyone.

It happend on my server as well. Fortuantely(?) there was just one bot atm.

Make rmt bots part of the daily hunts. You get 10 seals for each one. Also, its happening on Coeurl too.

The friend invite then RMT spam thing happened to me this morning too. At first I couldn't figure out why I couldn't blacklist them cause I declined the friend request...but yea, I have to go to the friendlist menu and manually decline it. Is that a bug? If you turn down a friend request, you shouldn't have to do it twice... Then of course, you get a error message if you try to blacklist them before you open the menu to turn down their friend request.

Honestly I don't know what they are aiming at (the RMTs). They are just being more of a nuisance. You would think these tactics would just tick people off more.... No one likes a pushy salesman. I had been just blacklisting them the moment they occur before... Now I just want to figure out how to make their lives more difficult since they are doing the same to me.

I just had 4 of these pop up in a span of an hour. Is there no way to block friend requests?

I love being on a Japanese server >.>;.....

Pretty sure they would accelerate their findings if they would implement subcommands like a right-click on name > RMT suspected and right-click on character > Botter suspected.

Should help a lot in their investigation, and of course both of them would automatically go into your new 500 blacklist..

Like the vote kick system, this can be abused, so same rules applies if you try to play tricks on your 'friends'

I can see the Humongous task this is.

Sadly, it goes with those that loves a pay-to-win game: if no one would buy, they wouldn't be there. /sigh

Heh, yeah they need to fix that. Im sure they will, though im not one to credit this dev team with quick and/or efficient responses to things like this. What im wondering it why I have to decline twice! You click on the tab that pops up, click decline, and its still there! You have to go into the actual friends list to do it. The irony is this just pisses me off so im actually going through the trouble of black listing and reporting them where I usually just ignore it. The opposite of what their intention in doing this was.

..... low life bastards.

Two possible fixes:

Enable the ability to blacklist someone who has sent you a friend request, without declining the friend request first. (Or, make the act of blacklising auto-decline the friend request.)

Enable the ability to blacklist someone who is offline. (Just in case the spambot tried to dodge your blacklist by logging off while you fumbled with the friend request.)

Honestly, both of these should have been in game already. Why shouldn't you be able to blacklist someone who's not online? Why shouldn't you be able to blacklist someone who has send you a friend request?
