RMTs out of control. Please address this SE!

[RhaegarFFXIFenrir]

So I forgot to log out this morning. When I got back on my computer I got 3 RMT tells within 10 minutes. I counted up all the tells from the time from when I "left keyboard" to the time that I was "no longer away from keyboard." It amounted to 56 tells in about 8 hours: 7 tells per hour for those that don't want to do the math. This is just ridiculous. I've filtered my tells for the time being because I don't want RMT spam overtaking my chatlog...but tells are an important part of player interaction. This needs addressed NOW, SE. Don't let them take over your game!

Was going to make a post abot this myself, so I'll just drop this here.. Video recorded of RMT cheating (unlisted) on my PS4 @ 10 AM PST on Sargatanas Server -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyH-LmGDiOs And this is not the 1st time I've seen this happen, its been going since laaunch.. Like going to North Shroud, by the pond near the Beast Tribe standing out in the open and farming Mobs for a month or 2 now, or Teleport to Ul'dah and see bots standing there at the crystal.. I've reported these cases all the time but 50% of the time the System information tab doesn't work when trying to report cheaters etc.. I've never once seen a GM in this game and I've been playing since Phase 3 Beta, and starting to feel like FFXI (in the begining) again when it got so out of control.

I don't want to sound like a broken record here but I suppose ill be the first to post that there are several forum posts about this already. Now, the only reason I say this isn't to complain. Though i play on balmung and rmt tells are very few and far between. The reasoning I state this isn't to not have your voice heard per-say but because a thread with multiple cases of complaints will do more work on getting se's attention on the matter due to the fact it becomes a heated forum post and more likely to catch the attention of the crowd you wish to have see it. Not only this but when several forum OP posts are made of the same thing you actually hurt the problem more then help address it because the majority of players will see it and roll their eyes that yet another post was made of the same thing making them to believe that you are A. Lazy, or B. just trying to get likes on your forum activity to be top post.Thus I will end this note on a happier note for those whom arent on legacy servers where character creation makes rmt literally scarce and in between because we might see 1-2 tells a day if that.


This was posted today by SE:


Time Period: Mar. 12, 2015 to Mar. 18, 2015
- Accounts receiving disciplinary action for RMT advertising: 646
- Accounts receiving disciplinary action for RMT/illicit activity: 2,491
- Action Details: Permanent ban from FINAL FANTASY XIV

So please rest assured that SE -is- trying to take matters into their own hands and though I understand it can be overwhelming in lower populated servers Though more could be done to stop this they have to be careful. When se first released and they went gung-ho on stopping rmt like activity there was quite a few people who weren't participating in it who ended up suspended or banned by false allegations. SE needs to be careful to avoid this from happening too.


(p.s. wooooowww those videos)

Ciara there has a good point there that a master thread would do more good than multiple new threads cropping up every day. At this point, there are so many of these threads that I could see someone getting lost as to which they should lend support. The current thread that was up until this one is here:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...5-so-much-RMT!

I went hunting for the original thread about this but there are so many, I couldn't find it. If anyone is privy to a master thread on this issue, it'd be much appreciated if you linked it. I alone would keep you bumped on the daily till either RMT subsided or I give up and quit the game.
