RMT, I'm seriously pissed! >:<

I think the most ridiculous things I have heard, was that one of the sites is actually offering a monthly subscription service, to be added to their "do not spam" list, so the bots for their site wont spam you, for a price.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That is so evil. They really do want us to see them as puppy-kicking monsters don't they?

be careful going to those sites. Alot of them have keyloggers.

Quoted for truth. Both Defender and Malwarebytes screamed at me after my little field trip.

...welcome to FFXIV- wait, when did you start playing? And you've only been experiencing this for a few days? Consider yourself lucky, really. :/

They are on a JP server. JP servers have been pretty free of RMT crap. I noted one interesting thing from the OP, they say that their English speaking friends have confirmed the same thing happening to them. It seems to me that the RMT scum are widening out their attempts to get customers, but are still focusing on western players since Japanese players apparently have enough sense not to buy gil.

I would still do it just in case. You can never be too certain, especially since I've seen posts like this (though...not frogs.) followed a few days later with "I WAS HACKED!"

I agree. Short of browsing in text only with image, popup, pop under, java and script blocking literally blocking everything except plain text, you cannot fully prevent issues, and even then....

My suspicion is that the /tell filters are better for Japanese than they are for English and the GM enforcement is better. I have no doubt that Japanese players still buy gil...

just not from sites that advertise "COMPLETELY LEGAL! 3W . ISTEALYURACCOUNT.C 0 m

They're using shouts now too. I've seen a few in the past couple weeks. Today though I was in Gridania, got 6 in a row all from the same name, try to black list, gone before I could. Ended up in Ul Dah later, same thing.

I noticed a re-appearance of shouts too. They went away for a while on Siren. The period of aggressive enforcement must have ended. I'm sure the GMs will watch for a while and ban, it'll quiet down for a month and then be right back to it's annoying level.

The increase in friend requests is what's most annoying to me. I can ignore the tells generally as I mainly pay attention to the chatter in party and linkshell channels, but the friend requests are what disrupt my gameplay.

I 'm not aware about this until one of my JP friends told me about it. Because it's unusual, super rare that getting tells or friend request from RMT in Masamune.
I haven't seen an RMT shout like in a year?

However, I not worry though. They will be gone and won't stay there for very long. Because I seriously doubt they can make money from the players in Masamune, at least not that much compare to NA/EU server. XD

Few days ago, I went to NA/EU servers pay my friends a visit. The RMT situation at there are far more worst, horrible. You should go see for yourself.
Honestly, I don't know how those NA/EU players able to endure it.
