so much RMT!

[ChiefCurrahee]

seriously SE time to update your filters on a daily basis, hire some dude to copy and paste all this RMT horse crap into a chat filter. EVERY DAY!

here let me help you add to your filter:

(RMT WEBSITE HERE) 10000K=5$ Promotion: Up To 50% Bonus, You'll get whisper after buying,Delivery in 10minutes--------------------------S> Crystal Items----------------RMT WEBSITE HERE)

Nothing crave, nothing have. Let's make things better. (RMT WEBSITE HERE), 50000 K GIL + 8% Bonus = 54000 K GIL = $ 178.86, Members enjoy more concessions... Ask for more. Wish you a happy game. IIMv

I'M SICK OF IT!

While I see that SE does ban some RMT, I'm really feeling that STF needs to step it up. I really would like a report button that contains an "auto-add-to-blacklist"

This plus an unlimited black list please.

I think they're already trying to use filters. Which is why RMT spammers have begun to use some random characters at the end of the message, and it's why RMT have been using replacement characters for several letters for quite some time (and probably why they're now using your own name in the tell as well, to mess up any detection).

Hitting the accounts that are generating Gil to sell is probably the most efficient method of dealing with the whole RMT problem. By tracking the source of the Gil, you can track which hands the Gil passed through, and then possibly back-trace some of it to other bot farmer accounts.

If SE could shut down bot accounts before they make any real amount of Gil, it would shut down the RMT since the only ways they would be able to make gil to sell would be; make it legitimately, steal accounts and sell their gil. The second option is almost impossible if the account has a one-time password.

Hitting the accounts that buy the gil is probably the most efficient method of dealing with the whole RMT problem.

We know they already track the flow of gil. The Census report shows us that. STF is going after the big time bots/rmt and ignoring the small ones tied to a "legit" account.

On my server there's a particular mass botter that likes to stamp his main char's name on the retainer followed by a taunt/troll phrase like <name>suckit <name>ownered <name>betterthanyou mind you there are over 24 retainers with names like this all with the same character name prefix.

Said retainers are always selling massive amounts of Tier II - Tier IV materias.

The char in question is a very disruptive player in /sh when it comes to Hunts and Fates, which leaves in my mind no doubt its the actual player taunting the server population as a whole. It's pretty easy to narrow down the bot characters producing these materias as we see them running around 24/7, with erratic, non-human behavior, killing mobs while wearing crafting/gathering gear.

I'm sure they can prove the accounts are tied together via the internet network, method and location from where payment of the accounts are made.

The 1 click report/block option would be great to have.

This, they've made reporting way too hard to be effective. Just let us report from the character name in chat and automatically include the obvious gil selling spam shout/tell message.

[Elusana_Celah]

Oh my god guys... look... they're back to doing this in SHOUTS now... You mean to tell me SE is banning them but they can be this open about their business??? Yeah SE isn't doing S**T about this. I'm so angry right now

[ChiefCurrahee]

Can't they create filter that recognize phrases like "Hello my friend. 5 min delivery. we have the cheapest giL,come on,my friend " like if the string of text contains key words like "delivery" "gil" "cheap" "handwork" or a few words in a certain order just block that from going out?

They've done it with the /shouts and /yells. Time to do it with the /tells.

I've been getting messages I put in the first post for over a week. same phrases. But nothing is blocked. They need to update their filter multiple times a day. the amount of spam is getting to the point of pure frustration.
