Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

[Zabuza]

I just resubbed from a break on 2.1, and I don't think I've ever been spammed so much with gold seller paragraphs in any MMO, and I have decades of MMO play among different MMO's. It's just constantly adding people to Blacklist, I think I blacklisted 15 people today, that's just dumb.

Once your blacklist reaches 200 you'll find it's too much effort to remove people from blist to add new ones. A separate /tell tab or /busy status is the solution nowadays. In other words, crippling one's social connections to maintain one's enjoyment of a social game.

Yup demand and supply rules.
There will be a supply for Gil when there is a player who demand for easiest way to gain Gil.

The real issue here is not the Gil Sellers themself, but that their business is profitable.

A demand will ultimatly lead to a market.

Players must stop buying gils (they do, the amount of sellers indicates it), or be prepared for being able to buy gil in the mogstation.

Personally, I would not really be against this. Granted, I have been more of an advocate of a PLEX system, allowing players to pay each others subscription time in return for gil, but even just a pure gil fountain would be effective.

Would sure get the market running, at least faster than it does now.

I fear this would be a losing battle... ^^;

I started playing about a week ago and here is the number of RMT's I have had to blacklist: 109/200.

Now blacklisting is fairly easy to do, however, I have a MAJOR complaint. Clearing my blacklist is going to take me an hour when I reach 200/200 which should be within the first two weeks of play. PLEASE, consider making it possible to mass delete from your blacklist. The confirmation button required for each deletion is a cute feature, but I'm not sure it makes sense. Logically, if a player is going through the trouble to review and clear out their blacklist, they have probably already committed to the process and a confirmation is ridiculously redundant.

Thank you for this!

The biggest problem I have with this is it is a such an easy thing to fix yet they have done NOTHING about it. The time is now, please add my name to the list.

Thanks!

My main gripe with the RMT is the constant spam of /tell and friend invites. It borders on harassment having the same "person" messaging you multiple times within an hour with blahh blahh gil for sale bs.

I won't deny the fact that botting itself keeps some staple items like Shards at lower cost, but you could also consider prices adjusting across the board if all were provided by actual players. Botting exist in plenty of MMO's. What doesn't relate to all of them is the /tell nonsense. Seeing some dead 'toons' forming a URL for a website is off putting but far more acceptable than random PM/invite from some fuck that's not even at the keyboard. That is super annoying and disheartening since you personally cannot stop the constant onslaught outside of going /busy24sev.

Forgot to add that I'd like to add my name, too. Will make sure to get some more names in there soon~
