    An option to report players in the right-click menu

    Other MMOs have added this and it works wonders: the ability to immediately right click the name and report a player for something is a GODSEND.

    The current interface where you need to stop and create a ticket to report something is terrible.

    Being able to report RMT spam, botting, etc. right off the bat would make everything soooo much better...

    definitely needed.
    It should be in a couple versions: "Report RMT Spam" and "Report Harassment" from the chat window, where the chat entry itself becomes part of the automated report.
    Possibly also a Report option when right-clicking a character. This one could only automatically fill in the who, where, and when info, so you'd still need to enter a description of what actions you're reporting, but it would still be a better start on a report than we have now.

    (Of the two, I think the chat window one is the more urgently needed.)

    I'll take two.

    I used to report RMT spam all the time, but it's gotten to be just overwhelming and I'd have to choose between filling out reports and playing the game. I choose to play the game.

    I will say that I recently trimmed my blist down to 100/200 earlier in the week. Two days later I was back to 130/200. Today I'm at about 150/200. It never ends.

    no wonder there's been a spike of them! you were the one holding them off.

    Does blacklisting them even work? they probably only use a particular name once or twice and then move on to a new one

    It seems to vary from one RMT group to another. Some will keep sending /tells to the same players over and over again until they're banned (which can take SE a very long time to get around to). Others seem to only send a couple tells to each player and then stop, presumably to recycle their character to a new name that's not on as many blacklists. So it helps with at least some of them.

    It doesn't work well, but if you don't do it you can easily end up getting half a dozen messages from the same bot over the space of a minute or two.
