Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

[Tiggy]

tiggy you come in here have a whaa whaa white knight on a situation that hardly affects you spout unsubstantiated claims as if your a dev or yoshi himself..report ppl who don't agree with your bs .. plz move along!!!

But you right there gave me such a good reason to come back to a thread. Funny how you say unsubstantiated when everything you just quoted from me had been done in other games and only worked but so well.

What I don't understand is why after all this time you still can't have an option to right click a spammer's name to report and block them without clogging up your blacklist.

Because the people that matter to get things done are on JP servers, so they don't really understand the severity. The minimal banning they do (yes, thousands of accounts when dealing with RMT is considered minimal), because of the lack of occurrences on JP servers, will always seem like the only necessary step to take. Maybe our GMs aren't able to express these things due to limitations in protocol (or they're just bad at relaying collected information to the necessary folks in Japan). It's not an apparent issue to them, so there's no need to work on something as small of a QoL change as right-click report... yet.

Leviathan just now had 37 DIFFERENT bots spamming RMT /tells in the span of 10min. I was AFK for a while, came back to that... decided to count it up. Quite a high number as of late, whereas normal is maybe 15 or so different ones every 10min. Unnecessarily long messages per /tell, as we are all aware of... we, as in those of us on NA/EU servers.

RMT are rather clever for this game, in that they know not to mess too much with JP servers (as they easily could, regardless of profitable outcome). It really doesn't have too much to do with less buyers on those servers. When they really made their presence known across every server at launch, that was when SE stepped up to stem it. Now, they don't do that for every server because it's a lot more problematic. If all you do is bot, it really doesn't matter about the "effort" put in lol. It's not like RMT tend to dig into their own pockets to support these thousands of banned accounts, afterall.

It's called common sense. In the last year and a half they have told us changes as they were made and the changes were visible in game but only for a month or two at best. You don't need an inside source to see what's obvious and what many people in this thread are ignoring. As a software developer myself I also explicitly understand what deadlines are like. Right now they are working very hard to meet the expansion release. Once again no inside information needed at all. This is all common sense stuff. Maybe you should simmer down and use your head instead of vilifying me for pointing it the plainly obvious truth.

Another reality is no mmo has ever perfectly handled this situation. Ever. So you need to temper your expectations in general.

why do you keep spinning the expansion bs with your posts i don't give 2 shits about there 3.0 deadline etc blah blah … they have had at least a year to add bigger blists easier reporting methods stoping low lvl tells as well as many other great ideas long before development started.. they will never eradicate rmt but with a few simple things in place a year ago plus may have helped curb the rmt.. instead they have sat idle and its clearly gotten worse .. why is there so much rmt on the n/a servers and practically none on the jp servers.. should the n/a severs be treated like shit while the jp servers aren't ?? and why shouldnt ppl stand up and say hey wtf why are they doing nothing??? and where is our dev or whatever team to give us some info on what they should be doing??? tiggy!!!

ps biddy yarrr isn't spamming in limsa anymore next day they were replaced by another lowbie toon been there for 4 days now.. and this is SE at its where doing something best!!!!

Best stop feeding her (him?). This thread is still our last, best hope for victory, so we'd better not let it go toxic and get locked by a well-meaning forum mod.

Right-click reporting. Not a perfect solution, to be sure, but it's better than what we have at the moment, which is nothing. We can use the existing systems as workarounds for sanity preservation, but an actual UI component would help us help them do their jobs better, since they seem to be so very overextended. How is that not win-win?
