RMT nuisance PLEASE STOP THEM SE

[SilverDjinn]

I'm sick to death of these RMT scum on the FFXIV servers spamming /shouts, /yell, /tell and party invites and friend request.
Square-enix team please can you implement something to deal with this menace !!!!!!!!
Yesterday I received 47 friendship invite from random lvl 1 characters, 4 random party invites from a lvl 1 character and I lost track of how many personal /tell RMT advertisements I received. On top of that they are blatantly shouting in /shout and /yell and /say in towns.
We your customers pay for our subscription and don't want or need this sort of intrusive spam.
Here are some of my suggestions to help you fix these issues.
1) 72hr ban on newly character from sending /tells, making shouts and friendship requests.
2) Give us a right click option in the chat log to instantly report RMT instead of the form you use atm.

O_O they do party invites now? Side note I've been getting a lot more friend request and tells recently on Behemoth, and only expecting it to get worse until the end of summer.

Actually I'd say it's the opposite, the reason they are becoming more intense is because 3.0 is closing in, they are trying to get rid of their product before the expansion hits because they don't know how the expansion will effect their profit margin.

Consider this, with 3.0 that means if they want to compete they woudl need to buy the expansion, but then if they buy it that's a 39 times x(being the number of expansions they buy) just to keep up with making gil. If 3.0 offers a way for players to earn gil or ina way devalues what they already earned then it hurts them.

I just don't believe RMT activity will get worse throughout the summer they are only being agressive now because they don't know how the expansion is going to effect gil's worth.

yes lvl 1 character randomly inviting you accept and ask why you got invite and there nothing but silence

It is becoming more and more of a nuisense and I completely agree that something drastic has to be done.

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~
