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

Some games already do some wonderful things.

1. You can blacklist the character, or blacklist the entire account.

2. Right click options in the chat window to report RMT. As mentioned, some games will clear them completely from your log, and even send the basic info in with the report. The sender, you, maybe where he is, where you are, the exact message, time, etc.

3. When characters are deleted, they are auto-removed from blacklists.

4. When accounts are perma-banned, those characters and accounts are auto-removed from the blacklist.

5. A way to flag the RMT'ers against local idiots you just don't like hearing from. The way it is now, to clean up your blacklist, who am I removing? An RMT? A casino? Some smuck I don't want to see? I don't know!

Seems no single game puts the entire package together, but some games do pieces better than others. Doesn't seem that hard to put it all together.

Now I may be totally wrong about this but.. Isn't the delivery done through the mail system? If so why not just remove the ability to send gil through the mail. Again I could be wrong but how many legit players are exchanging gil through the mail?

They can also trade and use the market board. Different games have tried to restrict all of these things to different degrees... some are very heavy handed about it... but RMT finds a way.

Uhh No. when i have my high end crafter make me things I sometimes send him the mats and tip all at once, and I take orders from friends / FC mates the same way, either gil or mats or both through the mail.

Yeah I find it sad, nearly all my friends and I have to play on busy status.

[Eye_Gore]

Hmmm. Well we could go full blown communist or is it socialism. No more capitalism. Redistribution of wealth. The entire server gets equal money, starting at level 50, anything below has a gil cap. Or get rid of the entire monetary system and go barter, all goods only received through quests, dungeons, etc.

Busy status goes away too easily, I'm pretty sure changing zones takes it off.

I just have tells filtered out in chat log.

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

I send items and take gil through the mail for crafting with people on my friend list.

If your list is full I guarantee you can delete the first 190 right now and you won't hear from a single one of them. The spam accounts are only used for a few days before they are baned or abandoned. Your list is full of people that don't exist anymore. Flush it out. I have at most 5 people on mine right now because I go through every few weeks and flush out the list. No ill effects at all. Been doing this for over a year now.



Definitely fair. Although once you learn to maintain the list more effectively it becomes a non-issue. Lots of people just let the list hit 200 people when it was unnecessary to begin with.

i would if you didnt have to delete them one at a time

Yeah back when I learned it worked this way I had to do nearly the whole list too. It sucked but it was a one time task now that I manage it better.
