Question: why theres a blacklist cap..?

[Haibel]

The information in this linked post from Reddit would suggest that the BL and FL are both server side data;

He's right and he's wrong. He's is correct that character relationship is done by Character ID. Certain Data when you move the game to a different machine will download from the server.
Your character Data folder on any machine you log into will have the same name. The stuff that gets download are mostly flags to let your client know what jobs you have and what actions you can have open. To my knowledge, there are only two files that get download. It's been awhile since I've added a new machine that I play on. FFXIV_CHR_01.dat and ACQ.dat all others are created client side.

Stuff that doesn't move machines. Settings, Gear List, Macros, UI Changes, Keybinds Etc. Stuff That moves machines and Download every time you log in. Character List Tied to the account and the current gear equipped to these characters.

Problem I have with pooling all the RMT into the same blacklist as players, are that the very few toxic players I had to blacklist for whatever the case are now lost amongst a sea of RMT. I no longer remember whom was who and by purging the list I'm sure I've accidentally removed persons whom I really didn't wish to be removed.

It's not a huge issue, but it would be nice if there was a distinction. Such as a black list, and a spam list.

Black list isn't server side. It's client side.

This is why we don't have fun tools like spam lists. IE 200 people blacklisted auto blacklist/block.
Finally it's not about space it's about parsing in coming tells. Bigger list = slower and then some chat will slip through, with all text being filtered.

If they would give us an ability to sweep our black lists for perma-banned players it would be helpful.

Not sure why they decided to support consoles, even the PS4 will become a drag as time passes and more stuff is being put into the game. Consoles only hinders development. PS3 is ancient.

Consoles are quite a bit more popular in Japan. Gaming PCs are, compared to the US and similar, rather expensive.

Considering how many paying subscriptions there are from console gamers, if you like this game, perhaps you should adjust your attitude towards those gamers who choose to use a console. Also, if you are not blessed with a powerful PC to run FFXIV on, then you should be happy about the work that went into optimizing and scaling the game engine for the PS3 because that directly impacted how powerful a PC has to be to run this.

Honestly, I wish that people would get of their PC master race high horse, it's tired and needs to be put out to pasture.

Definitely understand the problem.

Got nothing to do with being on a high horse. PS3 is a huge bottleneck to this game. I mean for realz, we can't even have a TP bar because of this pre-historic brick case. Arguably, the long GCD is in the game due to consoles as well. That is definitely limiting. Also, how many abilities can we have on our bars before things have to start getting dumbed down to appeal more to consoles? Heavensward possibly being the last expansion for the PS3 only confirms the obvious.

In all sorts of games, consoles are always the limiting factor. MMO players are mostly found on PC, not console. As for now though, I think supporting the PS4 is a good move. But if it gets to the point where it becomes a bottleneck, then yeah, I think it's perfectly acceptable to highlight the issue.

It's the same as old people refusing to use their VISAs, and instead cash out their entire salary, completely ignorant of the fact that the removal of physical money would diminish crime.

Thanks to all the rmts, i need to blist them whenever they send me tells or shouts.

But... My blist is full now and i have to manually delete all the previous rmt and add the new ones ._.

You do realize... that after you add them you can delete them the next day and they will already be gone, yes? No reason your blist should ever be full from RMT.

I only keep the last 30 RMT on my list

But along came gil sellers and logic and reasoning went out the window.

But everything changed with the gilseller nation attacked...
