Anyone finding RMT tells getting really excessive now?

That's logical thinking about why some servers could be quieter from an RMT perspective, whereas I'm getting hit by so many I'm too furious to play the game right now. It's bad enough I was getting about one a minute when I logged off, having to go unblacklist people to reblacklist them is an insult to my time.

Turning off /tells as one person suggested is not an option for me because I don't want people to think I'm ignoring them when I'm clearly not AFK.

Random person: "Hey awesome Birdliege bow, I've never seen one of those before!"
Me:
Random person: "How many Frontlines instances did it take you to get that gear?"
Me:
Random person: Thinking to themself- wow what an ____, he won't even acknowledge that I said anything.

Well, if you are getting spammed to death by RMT tells, the other player will be too. Chances are he will just assume his tell got lost in the sea of spam.

I get tells ever so rarely. Not more than usual. Happens more whenever I happen to be on a crafting class.

They're probably only bothering with the high population servers. Tonberry isn't iirc.

Tonberry is almost always closed to new characters, and often I have to queue to get in. It must be fairly high pop...

Tonberry is a JP server, hence not so many Tonberry players speak English. OR maybe it's japanese people's ethics that prevent them to buy Gil.

It seems to be quiet on Chaos DataCenter as well (EU servers)... Maybe because half of the players barely speak English? Or maybe because we're still struck by that goddamn crisis thanks to USA.

I'm not surprised to see all those US servers players complaining about RMT tbh

If you're seeing a lot of RMT tells, a lot of people on your server obviously are buying gil.

You don't open up a shoe store in a community that has no feet.....

^ This. For ex, the Wedding Wristlets are barely sold on my server. Never see a shout for it. Barely one or two PF advertising it. Never saw anyone asking to buy those for Gil either. Same for Dyes.

Well that would make sense why some servers are not seeing them.. They are locked for new accounts. It explains why on my server they increased lately so much and were almost gone for a while.
Our server was locked for a while for new accounts and recently open up for new accounts ... I get one about every 5 minutes now.

im on ragnarok, and it does feel more frequent again, probably at least 5 to 10 tells a week, sometimes more usually around US primetime. but i cant blame them, and i really dont blame SE for it either, i blame the players keeping them in business by buying their gil

[Cyrusskorrey]

the frequency is up, i think its about time for the dev team to step in again
and take new messures, /away just isnt cutting it

If your server often has a character creation lock you get less spam because it's harder for poor little "Alkjlkj Jkhkjghkj" to be created.
