    ggatm'com achievement

    SE, since it's not a bug, since you don't want to block creation character with ggatm'com as name, maybe it can be funny to have an achievement for this ?

    You only have three real friends? For some reason that makes me sad.

    seriously... is it so hard to add a filter to block frequently re-occurring gibberish like these names? I mean, FFS... Sellgil and Cheapgil constantly show up in their names! Should be easy enough to find these in the database, do a quick search on their activities, and the hit them with the banhammer--and don't just hit their names, block their IP's if you can. If DHCP leases renew somewhere down the line and that IP address becomes a legit user, then they can contact support through the portal and get it unblocked.

    Maybe he is just far more scrupulous in his dealings than most.

    He doesn't mind us conducting trials so close to his bazaar, so long as he's properly compensated... Yes, Portus, we pay him in sorcery-blasted bird flesh. - Cocobygo

    I would rather have 3 close friends that I talk to every day, than have 30 friends on my list that I never talk to ever.

    On topic, it is quite surprising they don't follow names more closely. Another big offender is goldceo, they have a ton of spam bots with that name also as I have a bunch on my blacklist as well.

    I have never recieved more than 1 friend request of that type at any given time. Why not get rid of them from the start? Are you just leaving your character online for ages while afk collecting them? o.O
    I mean, it takes a few seconds to decline a friend request...
    Just curious.

    They never stop and they get canceled eventually, so why bother going to decline them. Just leave notification in corner and ignore it.

    No... Got sick of doing it. Im in a small enough server where I dont get anywhere near 190 at a time, but having to decline twice each time is annoying. Not to mention how ridiculous and sad it is that SE hasnt addressed any of the simple improvements this game sorely needs for us to handle being bombarded with it.
    If I were to decline, block, and report every single gil seller that bothers me, id probably be working harder than the entire "RMT task force" getting paid to do it. And for what? Its a wasted effort anyway.

    You have to decline them twice... and if you don't block them you will likely get another request/tell from them in their next dump. It is highly annoying to say the least.

    I've gotten 15 from Ggatm or Wtbgg based names since I cleared my blacklist Friday. So yes... on some servers, they are spamming the h3ll out of us.
