Place filtering power in the hands of the players!

That's the beauty of the system... if something slips through, you can control it yourself and update it immediately.
No need to add things to your blacklist.
No need to wait for a patch or action from SE.

But there IS a need to update your program every time they figure out a combination to break through. And they will.
This is why it's gold *spam*. If there's a way to break through these systems, even if logic would dictate they're not going to get your business even if they gave free chocolate every time they advertise, they would find a way.

You can come up with fancy shmancy ways to block RMT tells all you want, consume dozens upon dozens of man hours to implement code that might not even work (meaning even after all that work, your customers still complain and the problem is still there) but in the end the core problem is still there.


What we really need is a zero tolerance policy on gold buyers. The sellers will just hijack new accounts or use stolen credit cards so long as they have a market. Nix the buyers, and they have no reason to be here.
Moreover we need better education about why exactly you should never even go to these websites, to avoid more compromised accounts.

They need to copy paste the filters from FFXI those worked fine once they put them in.

XI uses a very different chat system from XIV, so it's waaaaay more complicated than a simple copy-paste job.
