whats up with the rmt all the sudden?

[Doki]

I've noticed a LOT more RMT spam as well lately. The other day someone posted a screencap of a newly created character, still in the opening cutscene getting a Friend Request from "Sasjdklajl Ajdklgfv" that made me laugh.

Apparently SE can't figure out how to stop people from spamming tells like most other MMO's have figured out.

? I'm curious as to what the other games use as an anti-RMT system. I know you still get /1, /2, corpse, and occasionally /w RMT ads in games like WoW. Unless you mean the "Report Spam" function, of which it doesn't "stop" them from doing it.

Some games limit you from /t people until you reach lvl 10, some put a cap on how many /t you can send in a given period of time, some have a "Block and Report" option that could flag an account for further review. SE didn't have even an option to add to black list last year, you had to copy-and-paste to your black list then remove the inexplicable space at the end of the name. SE seems slow on the uptake in this area, and some people allege it lets them sell more games.

all of these function are currently in the game lol, sept for block/report, you have to block an then report but same thing. as for the /tells until a certain lv they added that not long ago, an they adjusted the amount of tells that can be sent at any given time, and they constantly adjust what phrases are blocked from typing at all, such as words like cashmoneyrmt.com or some crap like that. but to say they are doing nothing is pretty ignorant as they post what they do to combat them monthly. if you know so much about combating rmt then you would know its a never ending battle. SE does one thing to slow them down, they search for a new work-around, the cycle continues.

Tells go out at a high frequency, and I have sent /t as a level 1 character, so you may want to reconsider how "ignorant" I am. SE can do more to slow them down. Can they eliminate RMT? No. Can they further reduce their ability to spam us? Yes, and I explained how other MMO's have done so. And ftr, it takes WAY too long to report someone.
