RMT Gil Spammers are OUT OF CONTROL

[Khalithar]

As ever, until SE starts having GM's patrolling the actual servers and instantly banning every RMT on the spot, it won't ever stop. For now, it's /busy all day every day.

I like this,

Elder Scrolls Online: Play in peace, Improved spam control and bot detection.

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?

WoW.

I never get tells. There's lots of bots, but no tells. Very few advertisements in chat.

I am necro-ing this thread because it's the top hit on Google for "Square Enix gil spam".

Seriously. The gil spam is so bad. You have no idea. The only thing I have to debate at the moment is to post my novel and sometimes rhetorical or satirical remarks about how to fix it in a new thread.

This has to be a per-server problem. I haven't seen any gil-spam since HW released.

If you guys can't ignore a single line of RMT messages, then you probably need to grow some thicker skin tbh.

I'm on Gilgamesh, the most I get is like 3-4 per day and I just....ignore it.
It doesn't affect you lol.

Wow, yeah, if I received less than half a dozen /tells a day, I wouldn't be complaining. That's funny. You have no idea, I suppose. Maybe I need to switch servers. That would honestly be worth the transfer fee. I honestly received about 30 /tells today about it. I've received about 20 to 30 tells every day this week. I clean out my blacklist every other week. I play on Brynhildr, and I think Bryn is known for bad players, so that might be a factor.

If you're on PC, download Guildworks and use the chat filter to never see RMT spam again. If SE doesn't care about the spam, then they shouldn't care that we use a 3rd party program to block it.

[Dord]

You are right. I was debating that addon too this evening. It's against the terms of service because it blatantly performs both memory and packet injection like a bot program, so I'm still not sure about it. SE is shortsighted enough to let the gil spam run rampant on my server, so I am guessing SE might also be shortsighted enough to ban me for trying to ignore it in an efficient way.

For now, I think I am going to /busy. I hate /busy, and I know there are alternatives, but the spam is just so bad that this evening that the frowny /busy face seems appropriate enough for my mood. :P

On Ultros, it's a lot more than just one line.....each message takes up 6+ lines of my chat log and I can receive 8 tells from different names within minutes. The average is probably 15 in an hour, no matter what time of the day. Just because the situation isn't bad on your server, doesn't mean it isn't a problem.
And it is affecting me when they spam their garbage while I'm in a linkshell conversation.
