Right-click to blacklist

[kidvideo]

... or on a PS4 controller: touchpad, dpad up to the tell, x button... the menu has a new option "target" which is now at the bottom rather than Blacklist. Thanks SE for making the blacklisting of RMT more annoying.

It's bad enough that they won't solve the RMT spam tell problem, now they essentially rearranged the menu.

And before any of you forum trolls say "make a macro".... I already have to perform ninja mudras in real life to play on a controller & access the abilities.

And before any of you other forum trolls say "set your status to busy"... when your status is busy you can't be invited to parties or receive a genuine non-RMT tell, say from a friend or someone asking for help or a question.

While were at it can they increase the threshold from 200 to maybe 400? I'm maxxed out.

You can safely remove the ones that are at least a day old (in this case the ones at the top of your list) since banned accounts don't actually have their character removed from the system which is why they are not displayed as '(Deleted)'.

Hi Nadrojj,

I dont have the link handy. I think it was on Reddit that the RMT
industries have the capacity to generate over 1000 new spambot accounts
per day, per server (using stolen credit card accounts).
In light of that, the blklist capacity should be increased from 200 to 2 million.

And, oh by the way, public info on the largest spambot owner reveals they are also
one of or the largest cyber-crime organizations.

Hi Adamfyi,

I archived images of my December blist. Converted all 200 spambot names to OCR.
Imported text into Filemaker Pro. Performed sort and Find duplicates.
Within the un-purged blacklist, there were 27 duplicate spambot names and 2 triplicate
spambot names.

RMT is exploiting a vulnerability in Lua that allows repeat spamming to
over-ride the client blacklist, and allow the spam to succeed, and the spambot
name to be written again to the same blacklist.

This is pure arrogance on the part of the criminal bot owner.

Do keep using the blacklist. It does mitigate the rapid-fire over and over
repeat spams, but in a day or two, spambot exploits the blacklist.
RMT uses nonsense names (that give you a headache to read em) for
a reason - so you won't detect the duplicates.

I sincerely and respectfully hope that a game-master is reading this.
Thank you.

This has been stated so many times that I actually think that devs just don't want to implement it for some reason. We have really nice feedback responses and usually when people state some good quality of life ideas they are implemented fast, right-click blacklist seems to be one of a few things that don't work this way, but maybe I am just wrong, some official statement would be nice.
