    They're starting to branch out too. I just got my first Friend Request from an obvious gil seller on Valefor. No spamming yet though...

    It's getting worse...

    Yep, I just got a friend request from some character like "Idiotspammers'com Gilseller."

    One-click deny+blacklist+report would definitely help.

    I don't think SE really cares about the end user experience or makes an effort to understand what it's like firsthand. Im sure their developers and testers work in an environment that's closed off and so they don't have to deal with it, and while they know we do, it doesn't affect them that much so they just don't care.

    Yoshi-P and members of the dev team are known to play the actual game on the production servers (presumably JP data center.) Presumably it is a big problem there as well and they are aware of it. Yoshi-P himself has expressed anger at RMT and spammers (saying they needed to be "exterminated" iirc), but what we are lacking at the moment is some sort of official response about whether they are going to make any obvious changes (such as single-click deny+blist+report) to help prevent spam from destroying the game.

    p.s. Hey Buff, you're on my server! I think you've been in some of my hunt parties.

    Today in Ul'dah's marketplace on Zalera, there were three shout RMT characters that would appear in the exact same spot in steps of Thal. Level 1 pugilists, same exact "asdfw" type name. They went in a rotation for a good half hour. So they weren't even being deleted: someone or some program was logging these characters in for their quick 3-shout ads and then right back out before players could black list. Two different websites, same three characters.

    Would it be so hard to assign at least 1 GM in each major city of each server to nail these things? I don't think these RMT bots could make it any easier to be tracked down and spotted.

    Same spambot program seems to be running on Diabolos as well in the major cities. You have to /blist them on the second shout before they log off. They seem to have recently decided to exploit the loophole that you apparently can't blacklist characters who are offline.

    The possible good news in this is that everyone on /busy seems to be forcing the spambots to change their tactics and become more visible (although they will probably step up their abuse of friend and linkshell requests as well.)

    And shocked there are so few signatures. And can't believe this is still so prominent an issue. I hate seeing bots wander around for weeks after being reported as well. (if not months actually..) Get on this SE.
