RMT, I'm seriously pissed! >:<

[BobbinT]

Over past few days, me and some english players begin getting this annoying friend request from highly suspicious names. And they have constantly bugging me with these. And what's worse? I can't even blisted them fast enough since they somehow auto-logout or something.

I tried using busy status like past suggestion, but it turns out that this blocks me from getting tells from friends and even worse, ppl unable to invite me for things like rank S hunt marks.

There's also suggestion to fill every spot of my friend list, but I find this unorthodox since this won't allow new friend that's truly want to befriend me.

Already sent ticket, which unfortunately returned with generic automated replies.

Right now I have no idea what to do. And this is already driving me nuts.

I want to hijack this thread with a burning question:

If the RMT situation has gotten so terrible, does this mean RMT accounts are even spamming advertisements to each other? Will it eventually get so bad that RMT accounts come HERE to complain about... RMT?

With that out of the way, I'm rather sick of it too. I'm trying to tune it out, but it's not easy. Even muted the original tell chime. Haven't resorted to busy status yet, but why not. =/

I know what you mean.... the moment I put /busy off I get spammed with tells from RMT or they try to send me friend requests. I don't even remember how it feels not to have /busy up

I can't believe people actually spend money on Gil. I went to one of the site just to see what they are charging. Its nuts I won't post it here. My first car didn't cost as much as some of the prices.

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

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.

If that's the same computer you use to pay stuff online or game with, I would suggest you run a full virus/malware scan.

Those sites are notorious for having nasty surprises hidden inside banners and redirect links to steal player info and copy stuff to your computer...

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.
