Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

Why not just end the free trials already? Hasn't it been going on long enough?

[OlyverW]

Free trail accounts can't send friend requests anymore and there are a bunch of other restrictions too

So...

Incoming RMT /tell - I go to open Support Desk to report, which of course takes ages - waiting to be able to click that File Report button - here I get another RMT - report both in one go because suffering the Support Desk clunkiness once is more than enough - barely even actually send the report when I get a third tell.

...can we have some damn tools to prevent random tells already please???

[Lambdafish]

definitely agree with all of this, this NEEDS to be improved

If they really want to combat it they need to simplify the process to report. We just need a simple right click > report > Spam/Gil selling. Let it auto fill with a name and chat log or most previous tell. They want us to fill out that form every single time to report someone but for some servers we would be there all day filling out every name that popped up. If we could simplify it to a simple two click process I would like to assume everyone, myself included, would be more inclined to actually report them rather than just ignoring, removing tells from sight or just going /busy.

Picture removed

So is botting DF now how they are earning money and spiritbonding? I think its pretty obvious... Must have something to do with unsynced df.

Theres a few of them that keep appearing next to the market board on cactuar in limsa.

My question is, how does it get this far/go this long unnoticed? What kind of things do they even look for when searching for cheaters. I can tell plain as day.

IMHO this stuffs never gonna end until SE stops trying to tackle the problem themselves. There's plenty of people in the community who would LOVE to help with this problem in any way they could. Even if they just made reporting easier....

Edit your post doesn't matter if he's a bot or not that's going to go down as witch hunting a person and you're going to get banned from the forums

[Mycow8me]

Cant edit it anyway, im on my phone. Won't let me. If i end up banned oh well. An admin could just as easily remove the pic or delete my post. I cant even delete it myself. I could care less, ban the good guys for trying to help.

Nevermind, found a way to load desktop version. Still think the picture was worth more than words. I dont even bother with the current report system for cheaters anymore.

And about that simple report function we have been asking for practically since day 1 of RMT spam? Cus it sounds like your only mentioning about friend request measures.
