Rampant botting and RMT..nothing being done

[BreathlessTao]

Seriously, there's 2-3 new threads about this daily... -.-

That only shows how serious the situation is. Has been, for quite a while. And how whatever SE is doing does not seem to improve the situation at all; while tons of other options are suggested time and time again, seemingly never even considered for implementation. Yes, it's tiresome seeing this same subject in "2-3 new threads daily", but, well, that's where we are in-game as well.

Ok, yes, the botting is still a problem and annoying as all hell. But to say they're doing nothing about it when they banned over 9000 (insert meme here) accounts in a single week is a little disingenuous, isn't it?

But that's just the issue, don't you see? They post these numbers every few weeks, yet the situation does not get any better. Bots everywhere, RMT messages / friend requests just as frequent as last week - and sure, one can't hope for that all to be erased, but we haven't even gotten any better means to battle it, save for the rightclick-blacklist thing ages ago. No settings for receiving /tells, no stricter filters, no any other option that's been suggested a million times by a million of us. In fact, RMTs have gotten bold enough to actually create characters with their site names as character names now. What's that say about all the bans then?

No, it just shows how many people want to be a special snowflake and have their own thread about it. What's wrong with using existing threads to talk about it instead of cluttering the forums with a ton of different threads? Spamming the forums to complain about spam ingame is pretty meta. xD

Most of us aren't saying that they're doing nothing.

This particular thread has "nothing being done" in the title, so...

And the OP is wrong to say it like that. Nothing effective is being done.

Yep. It's what I get tired of seeing. I'm very anti-RMT myself. It destroys game economies, and the market is where I have the most fun in any game. I wish they'd be more effective about it too, but honestly the constant parade of new threads is to the point where the forum spam is almost as bad as the tell spam, and that's saying something. xD
