How Do Other MMOs Deal with the RMT Situation?

[Stormfur]

I'm just curious since FFXIV is only the second MMO I've ever played (TERA being the first -- and RMTs were practically non-existent there). I've heard of certain ones actually selling in-game currency officially.

So what other MMOs have you played that tackled RMTs and won (or at least, considerably lessened the problem) ?

It's pretty much the same except the UI is a hell of a lot easier to use so in WoW, you can just right click the other person's name and click black or report or both.. that's the norm in most other games.
Only reason it's so bad in ff14 is because the UI just sucks, every time you want to do something you have to click through multiple loops which makes it inefficient and most people give up on spending 3 minutes to block a person every time.. Thus, RMT are more persistent because the message gets through unlike other games.

Not sure what @Gillionaire is even talking about, it's two clicks of the mouse away in FF14.

Except it's not. On WoW, I can right-click, report for spam. Done. They are now blacklisted AND reported.

On FFXIV, I can left click, block, hit "yes" and...well they're blocked. But that doesn't get rid of the problem, it just gets rid of it for me. Reporting them requires a whole lot more.

For the most part, in WoW it just blocks too. They don't do much about them. Besides, just like in every other MMO, you block/report and in an hour the seller deletes that character and makes a new one.

Reporting people is tedious in FFXIV .... I don't even bother any more :/

Except it's not. Reporting someone requires more effort than just two clicks. That's why I never bother reporting RMTs anymore. Its not worth my time.

I've never played WoW, but I freaking love Nyhm and his songs ^^ Especially Nerf You. He's a genius of videogame-inspired satirical songs to me!
