PSA About RMT Tell Topics

[CUTS3R]

Snip

I guess that vary depending on your server, its not so bad on moogle.

Do you really think new players are going to stay to play the game if they are bombarded with /tells like in these screenshots of mine?

I'll say it again, back in beta / EA the RMT spam was constant, like 3 or 4 per second in absolutely every areas in the game, we were all "new players" including me, and look we're still here almost 2 years later for the most part.

My point is, it was alot worse back then and we went through it because we like this game, if people quit FFXIV because of RMT spam, then theyre just using it as an excuse to quit on a game they didnt like because in the end, RMT impact on the game, is minimal.

No, it wasn't worse back then. Back then you had a bunch of spammers per city shouting, but as soon as you blacklisted them, there was silence for quite a while. Nowadays they change their names all the time so blacklisting them does not have the same effect it used to, and they spam you with friend requests as well which is something they never did when the game was new, and it's the most annoying part of the spam by far. Since you're clearly on a server where RMT is not as big an issue as it is for many others, please just take our word for it. The RMT issues you hear people complaining about every day are real, and they are severe. Stop trying to discard them, please. Those RMT threads are likely not going to stop until the issue is addressed.
