RMT nuisance PLEASE STOP THEM SE

[AdamFyi]

The RMT situation is bad, but I suggest you remove the links from the RMT tell you posted since it's against the forum rules. Wouldn't want to get banned, now would you? Anyway, RMT will always be RMT. The developers can do so much without impacting the playerbase as a while. Any other solution just serves to slow them down, but eventually they'll work around it. :u

Edit:

Hopefully they can add in more customizable chat filters to ease in the spam for us come Heavensward. Something like receiving tells only by players on your friends list and friend requests being automatically denied. While they're at that, they should make rejecting friend requests automatic once you deny it instead of having to navigate to your friends list. :T

it was an example of a /tell i received to show what were getting

I suggest you listen to Adam and remove that example, we all get those kind of message so we know what you are talking about with tell

You're still posting a link to an RMT website, which is still considered RMT advertising. Other players have been banned by posting such text and it is safe to say that you yourself may get banned as well. Better to be safe than sorry and just remove it entirely. If you still insist on keeping it, you can just blip out the semi-URLs in the post. I don't know if you can get in trouble for that, so I'm not guaranteeing anything if you decide to keep the post. It would be bad if you yourself got banned. :c

Edit:

Just to add, you're going to have to remove the name as well if you want to keep it~

removed company website and player name who sent the /tell but going off what you guys are saying there was no point me even trying to make SE aware because they ban you for showing the crap we put up with in game

I'm glad you removed the links OP, as I logged in at work specifically to report your post. Regardless of the intent, I will always report RMT ads both here and in game, whenever I come across them. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who does. By posting the tell on the forums, you are giving the RMT a free advert.

I've stated this before in another post, but I'll say the same here too. Report in game messages and friend requests as harassment. The NA/EU reps seem to deal with it quicker than filling it under the other option (where I assume it gets sent to the mountain of work that the 3 man task force have to deal with).

Using the harassment option, every tell/friend bot I have reported has been dealt with within half an hour of my report (probably nearer 15 mins, but I'm giving room for error on my part as I haven't timed it). They copy/paste reply I get (usually up to 5 mins after I witness a /say bot being killed) also states that it is safe to remove that bot from the blacklist, so I can only assume that the account has banned outright. Any more bots will cost the sellers another account.

I'm glad I haven't had to deal with lv1 party invites.

...ah! My condolences.

While people are still buying, they can afford to create more accounts. It's that simple. For the most part, the buyers got what they wanted. They don't give two flicks for the rest of the player base that they are pissing off by continually supporting RMT. They probably don't even see it as a problem. They don't care about the game they themselves are ruining. The same goes for botters.

My current server is... quiet for the most part. It has picked up slightly, but I'll be dammed if I'll let them get any more of a foothold, or reason to feel they can be more brazen in their actions like what they seem to be on other servers.

I would love a quicker way to report these to the NA/EU reps so they get dealt with there and then, instead of hassling the task force with, when they are dedicating their time to working on another part of the problem.


Editing this post rather than creating a new one:

Just do add a time frame to my '1/2 hour but probably nearer 15 mins' remark above, I reported the spam bot I just found under 'Report Harassment' at 18.51 GMT+1. It vanished before it turned 18.52 GMT+1. I got a reply from the mods at 18.57 GMT+1. Granted, the time frame may change depending on the mods current workload. Still dealt with pretty swiftly imo.
