PSA About RMT Tell Topics

[Orspeth]

Often those who with that kind of attitude towards RMT are the ones who use RMT services.

Not only is RMT game-breaking, it DOES ruin lives because RMTs end up with access to the personal information associated with the account that bought gil. Aside from leaving debit cards ripe for the stealing, it also leaves the account holder ripe for identity theft.

Now to help myself to some of that popcorn.

That popcorn looks good! And I agree with you - I mistrust people who say "it's not a problem, or just ignore it" - bet they just don't want to get caught!

They are "solving the problem" because your particular server isn't highly affected? My name starts with an "A" and I'm on Excalibur. I get so many RMT tells when I'm not in busy status that I wouldn't even be able to notice if I got a legit tell. They aren't solving ANYTHING. Their counter-measures against mass tells are so pathetic that they were circumvented almost immediately. I really enjoy the "JBNf" "aDCA" "DTHd" at the end of every tell, getting around that rad filter that can't seem to notice when someone sends a 99% identical tell to 100s or 1000s of people every couple minutes.

If SE can't even figure out how to filter tells to where RMT don't spam the hell out of you, they deserve every single person who quits the game, which, btw, is taken almost exclusively from their target demographic: folks who never played MMOs before. If you never played MMOs before, or barely have, and you log in after creating your character to a ton of spam tells, do you get a warm fuzzy feeling about continuing to play? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA. TOTALLY FIXING IT BRO, RIGHT!?!?!?!

Er, you know, NOPE.
