RMT Gil Spammers are OUT OF CONTROL

[Solaria_Luna]

Not sure what the point of this thread was, but the forum moderators have next to no power to ban RMT spammers; I am also pretty sure this is the wrong section of the forum to suggest new features for the game. So whatever it was you were attempting to accomplish with this thread probably won't be achieved.

Ummm...there is no "Game Feedback and Suggestions' section, only one for the forum/website. So everything just gets posted in here.

Also here's another that probably wasn't thought of yet: Why not try and get rid of the source of gil for gilsellers...get rid of the supply (gathering/crafting bots - not legit players doing what they have to do, the ones that break game mechanics to get things done [abusing glitches to do tasks while AFK].) which may get reduce the number of the secondary suppliers (demand/gilsellers) and the secondary demand (players that buy). [This does NOT mean 'remove marketboard! Plz!' and/or 'remove DoH/DoL classes! Plz!']

Also would like to see a square button (Playstation)/right click (PC) on friend request notice options menu which allows for refusal of multiple friend requests. (I now have 7 of those darned spam friend requests)

...You think that no one's thought of or mentioned that?

Alright guys, the code's been cracked; the mystery solved. Just gotta ban all those bots that already get banned by literally the thousands every week.

I wonder who thought it was a good business model to harass your potential customers.

Telemarketers, honestly. They've been around for decades. And instead of dying out they've moved to text harassing and pushing legislators in the US to allow them to call cell numbers. I really wouldn't be surprised if some of the initial gil sellers back in the day got the idea from a company that used telemarketing.

The thing that is the most difficult to understand is....We are being harassed in the game and it bothers us, so we come here to complain....Why does that bother anyone? The same fools keep coming into these threads telling us we should not be complaining, you people are just trolls looking for an argument, we are not harming you in any way, unlike the gill sellers that are ruining our experience and harming the economy.

Allowed or not, they've called my cell a few times.

Never gotten text messages. Filing legal complaints after refusing to cease when asked to keeps them to a minimum though.

I'm surprised that all you guys on JP servers think it's the virtue of the Japanese people that's stopping Gil sellers from appearing in force there. Actually no, I really shouldn't be. Of course you guys think it's the power of glorious nippon.

It's population. On Balmung, I don't get tells like... at all. Why? Cause bots can't get in. The character creation restrictions mean that creation of throwaway bots for advertising is much much harder, so you don't get that much spam. You'll see swarms of bots appear after maintenance, cause that's when pop is the lowest and they can get some new (computer non-)blood in.
This game is weird that way, the more popular your server is the harder it is to get bots onto it. Now where's there a lot of population playing this game?

It was already very clear to me that due to the jp population not getting spam, they do not care enough to really "fix" the problem, we get these these "blah blah has been banned for rmt activites" and while reading those 1000 more bots were created to continue where the banned ones were left off. i just gave up and recently moved to a jp server. (and due to the none existent endgame on my previous server) they aren't going to fix this, you'll keep getting spammed, all day, everyday, untill you perma busy status or move to a jp data center,

Other MMOs have squashed this problem out for the most part, it's very strange that SE "somehow" is still having problems, so something else is going on, i personally cannot stand rmt spam, because nothing will ever make me weak minded enough to buy gill. so i do not want to be bombared all day every day about buying it.

So if you're tired of it, learn jp and move to them or find a english oriented jp server. It's your only hope to get away from spam. Reporting, black listing, does very little to nothing.

And just so you know, jps DO buy gill, and other people also buy gill on jp servers, you just don't get spam, Why else do you think bots are still on these servers? they certainly aren''t playing to enjoy the game, it's a job to them.

Telemarketers do it?

.

Can you explain how they have? Maybe it's because they are as popular or profitable that RMT doesn't deal with them, ever consider that the popularity of the game dictates how much RMT will involve themselves in said game?

Telemarketers do it?

Yes, and I block them too. For the same reason.
