Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

[Gilthanis_Tremaine]

where do we sign this petition? I asked SE 6 times to give me a "block /tells from free trialers" option but it's like they dont care.

Players on Free Trial can't send Tells.

- The chat options /shout, /yell, and /tell cannot be used by Free Trial characters.

Ok so I just got a tell, and the usual

【20000K Gil ==54 U'sd】.

isn't even any surprising anymore.
But then what's the next thing in that message? Get this:

Lots of LV 180 (HQ) items on hot sale.especially top-level disciples of war& hand.

Idk if this is actually new, I certainly haven't seen this before personally, so I'm a bit baffled right now. It's not even gil anymore, it's top-tier HQ crafted items that they're selling? As if the markets and crafting aren't total trainwrecks anyway; as if gil itself isn't bad enough. WAKE UP SE!?

I don't get why they would advertise ilvl 180 gear when you can't even craft gear that high yet. Unless...can the 180 PvP gear be crafted?

You can craft i180 stuff. It's astral silk/griffin leather/adamantite.

I know the special task force works hard, but the situation on many servers just hasn't improved at all in a full on year. Can we please have better means of dealing with this? The available methods suggested to us thus far just aren't effective or sustainable.

^ this. So very much this. We still only have the one /busy to "deal with it", really, and I don't think it was meant as a countermeasure to RMT spam, to be enabled permanently when one's online and playing. (And let's not even mention how utterly horrendous the in-game Support Desk is to use.) While on the other hand, there are methods suggested by us, many times over, at least some of which I'm pretty sure are completely rational and wouldn't be hard to implement either. Yet SE doesn't seem bothered to even acknowledge any of them. It's very frustrating.

Looking forward to the tells from people on friend list only. Having to play with my tells/whispers turned off isn't very fun. Nowadays to chat with someone privately I have to invite them to party, it's rather irritating.

I remember back in 1.0 the way to destroy RTM was if certain amount of ppl report the user name of the rmt(was done from system settings but i dont remember too well),for example if that person got about 50 reports that account will get block ,was something like that i cant be sure was long time ago,i think a system like that can work pretty good.
