I finally did it... disabled tells with busy status. RMT unbearably bad.

So you don't get repeats on the same day.

I go through once every 3-4 weeks and I only ever need to remove about 5 as it is. It's easy enough just to shut the spammers up.

The spammers on your server must be lazy or something. On a daily basis on Leviathan, I see different names multiple times a day. I'd say about 7 different names over the course of several hours.

I played EVE online for a few years. One of the best features for dealing with RMT:
Right click, report RMT.
Can we get something like this in XIV?

Hi Risvertasashi,
Thank you for mentioning this. Last July, CCP Games made the news in CIO Magazine,
by unleashing Unholy Rage
on over 6200 paying bot accounts.

...the mass purge of these accounts drastically freed up CPU resources for the game's legitimate players,...

I'd say it's because I'm on Balmung and it's hard as heck to even get in the server to make a new spam bot.

I literally run everywhere on my home server with /busy on. The spammers aren't so bad on Legacy servers like Balmung as the sellers can only make toons there at 4 am in the morning. Whereas on Faerie, they create, then spam, delete and create a new character all day long. Blacklisting them is pointless and without filtering tells or /busy, you get a tell from them every 2 minutes or so. It's quite aggravating.

Thank you, PurrfectStorm

If I may add to the list .....

Global Blacklist.

---- Optional, Subscribe if you desire to.
---- First person to blacklist a spammer (specifying the reason as RMT harassment)
the spambot owner's character name is written to a high capacity global
blacklist. Global blacklist blocks spam from going to remaining subscribers.
---- The spambot owner's entire 8-character account should also be written to
global blacklist.

One small request, if I may.
Dear Game master,
or any Square Enix employee, anywhere.....
Please, please please join this message thread.
I'll come to California and buy your lunch.

how does other games handle "right-click report" abuse problem?
does it have the limit to use it too?

I can only speak for WoW on this one, but there's no limit to it and it's a quick/immediate process that requires no more than 2 clicks.

SE has lost control of gil spammers and bots on Ultros.. I have been watching the same bots for over a month now and they are still there.
I see more and more people walking around with busy on now.. I have not had a account even deleted on my black list in a month.. It is like SE gave up on our server. Some are jumping servers now just to get away to those servers still limiting accounts. Once our server became unlocked it became insane with bots and spam. There is no excuse for the amount on ultros.. It would take minutes to ban hundreds of accounts. They are messing up the economy too.

What I really want is only whisper from friendlist. Or a whisper notification without spamming the chat 5 lines.

Actually it zones with you and even stays active into dungeons.

Yep, it sure does. The thing I find annoying with it, is that I have no way of turning it OFF inside a dungeon. I'm in a dungeon, due to PS3 limitations I can't send tells in dungeons, I may want to actually see them ready checks and all.
