RMT, I'm seriously pissed! >:<

You could, you know, just ignore it.

The friend requests can't really be ignored, as they stay flashing on your screen until you go into the friend list, find the name, click on it, and click deny. You can't even deny the request from the popup - if you do, it just sits there flashing.

I love my /flist deny <r> /blist add <r> macro. Those are the only bots I bother blisting anymore, as clearing your blist when it gets full is a chore. When I get a friend request, I automatically hit my little macro.

... and then occasionally, like, an hour later, I'll realize that it was a real person I knew trying to friend me and not a bot, and I just not only denied their friend request, but blisted the last friend to send me a tell <_< That's happened at least three times so far.


For tell spam, I just ignore it. Unless I'm in a tell conversation with someone, if I get a tell that has any special characters or is more than one line, my eyes don't even focus on it. I just glance at the textbox, note what it is, and go on to what I was doing. Or, more likely, I just ignore all tells. Hmm, I wonder if you can macro moving /tell messages between windows, so I can turn off tells entirely, but have a button that turns them on for when I want to talk to someone about something... Of course, if someone else tries to initiate a conversation, I'd miss it, but small loss compared to dealing with RMT x_x

Sign HERE and hope SE does something soon.

/signed. Hope you (and us) get the support deserved.

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

since 1.0 days. And no, this is not the 1st time, although the method of request friend are quite new. Back in Sargatanas, I have almost full blist list. This is one of reason (with others being latency problem), that makes me decide to move server. It is already worse back then, then I can't imagine how worse it is when I happen to go back to NA/EU servers.

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.

Oh yes, yes I do, very much. And no, I really can't endure it. Getting 5-10 /tell every day, and chat log spammed with RMT ads in cities.

Strange thing is, when I go back play XI, there are RMTs, but they were quite... few and suppressed for most of it. If XI's protection quality against RMT are good, then why XIV-ARR have gotten worse?

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.

Well... in case you haven't knew, Masamune and Tonberry are those server having biggest english community that want to enjoy this game with less latency, mostly due to SEA regional. And I do happen to receive RMT attacks before current ones, but not as notorious as back then when I'm still @ Sargatanas.

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna copy your macro, and hope this might ease up these troubles.

I am still curious how I manage to get only about 1 tell and 1 friend request in about 3 - 4 days.
And I thought that Ragnarok is kinda populated.

I'm in the same boat on the 2 servers I currently play on. Little to none, and I thank the majority of the communities on those servers for not encouraging RMT to become more active, and/or helping to report any bots they do come across so that they are hopefully delt with accordingly.

With that said, I know from my WoW days so annoying RMT can be. So I will add my name to the list in support of getting RMT and those that encourage RMT removed from the game.

I'm starting to get really pissed as well. At first, I'd go busy and create a LS for all my friends but now not everyone have a LS spot so I can't talk to them because I always am on /busy and the second I'm off it I can get like 2-3 spam plus friend request it's very annoying.

They really need to do something about it!

Ok well I fig. I'd share this bit, under the logs for like General battle and event you can filter tells I took them out of general tab and put it the event tab. I'll check to make sure I'm not get important tells every so often.

Unfortunately, if you do still check for important tells, your eyes are still hitting every single RMT tell you've been sent. That's what the RMTs want - it means their advertising successfully reached its intended target. It is less annoying though that way.

I am getting sick of it myself. I get 3-4 tells a night. And my wife gets 1 every 2-3 days. And we are playing at the same time.
