[To Dev] - Request to increase Blacklist Cap

[Nashred]

It needs to be increased for sure... The amount of rmt activity is insane right now on Ultros. I can get 12 tells in minutes sometimes from different rmt's .. Last night I got a tell from the same rmt like 8 times in a row each time from a from different account. I could fill up my black list in a few days. I dont think all servers are the same but our server is really bad right now. I bet we average a tell every 5 minutes...

Auto-removing deleted names would be a bad, bad idea.

And then you re-blist them. There's nothing stopping someone bored or determined enough to do that from rolling max alts on a server to begin with, if they want to chain-pester you. Even assuming that they could stand to drag themselves through the opening CSes over and over again just for that, and that having to repeatedly blist someone was enough to be the most horrible event of your life, they could alter blisting to be an account-level thing where you don't see interaction from any character under an account you've blocked a character from. Add in something like an icon next to a name that's been deleted(and maybe darken the name) to denote that the character is gone but the account is still active.

We don't even have to get that fancy though. The RMT action notices come alongside a patch of some sort, generally(if not always). Part of the patch could simply be an RMT account list, and once the main game client launches it processes your blist to clean out all the cruft.

What about disabling gil trading? I know this can be a bad idea for others (just an idea tho). Think about how often do you trade gils. I spend 3 years in the game and never remembered sending a gil, items yes plenty but I work for myself while enjoying the game. This would also cut down some incidents which I heard of, such as paying to get a party.

I'm not talking about starting a new account from scratch. Deleting an account does not destroy it. If you delete your account, you can restore it to exactly the way it was before. No lost levels or items, no starting over from scratch with opening cutscenes. SE WANTS you to come back to the game, so they've made it VERY easy to change your mind if you decide to quit.

The point about trolling from alts is a good one, though. SE should definitely make it an option to blacklist a player's entire account, not just the specific name. Even in the worst case, though, you'd have to blacklist an individual at most eight times under the current system (presuming that they don't own multiple accounts). If deleted accounts were easy to remove from your target's blist, it would never end until your harasser became bored, or the GMs finally dealt with it.

And, to be honest, deleted accounts really aren't the main problem here. As someone who's only ever blisted RMT, I'd say that less than ten percent of those accounts wind up Deleted, rather than banned. Cleaning up deleted accounts isn't a big deal. Cleaning up banned accounts, though, is currently quite aggravating.

I just wish we had a right-click "report RMT". Not only should this option quickly report a RMT seller, but add the player to the black-list. The current report process is far too lengthy then it should be for reporting these bots.
