I believe I may have found the only viable option left for dealing with RMT. Just ignore the spam. Go through the 4 button click process of declining their friend requests and just play the game. It's apparent that only the very small handful of RMT that SE are going to ban when the banhammer waves happen will be the ones who are banned. Those RMT will just repurchase the game, make new accounts, make new characters, and continue to spam us until we all pull our hair out to the point that we're all bald, IF we let them get on our nerves. There are SO very many threads. SO very many concerned players. Zero response from any community mod on the issue. It's obvious. We are NOT going to get a response. Sorry to be pessimistic. Truly I am, but I have given up.

When those with the power to actually do something to alleviate the playerbase from the annoyance caused by the RMT choose to only do the little that they actually do, with a STF of only 3 people, and no indication that there will ever be any more than those 3 working on the issue, and with the problem only continuing to be as bad as, if not worse, than it has always been, it's hard to have any faith that it will ever get any better.

Here's to hoping that the game is very successful, and has a very long lifespan, even though a large portion of the playerbase pretty much has to suck it up and deal with the RMT plague with only the very little help that is provided by the company who developed the game and accepts our sub payments. I can only hope that new players are as understanding as we are and decide not to vote with their wallets and that they continue to play the game rather than leave with a bad taste in their mouth due to the fact that SE are not actively banning RMT accounts as quickly as we might like them to.
