Ultimate RMT Spam Killer.. Us.

[elemental10]

Yeah its us alright.

By saying "NO!" to buying gils and botting.

Demand and supply my friends. RMT is a business, with a niche market. Only thing we can do is get rid of that market.

How do you prove a false report?

Simple, whenever the Report Spam option is used and the report is sent to a GM (or other personnel) the /tell being reported is sent along with it. If the /tell being reported as spam isn't in fact spam then the report is considered to be false.

Troll 1: /tell player1 hey bud, how have you been! That coil run was awesome last week!
Player 1: /tell troll 1 sorry, you must have the wrong person
Troll 1: /report rmt
Troll2 : /tell player1 thats an awesome looking top, where does it drop
Player1: /tell troll2 thx, sastasha nm
Troll2: /report rmt

Again simple solution: 1). If you send a person and a /tell and they reply to you, that person can not report your message as spam as you solicited communication from them and spam is always unsolicited. 2). If someone sends you a /tell and you reply to them you can not report them for spam as you chose to continue communication with them. These would prevent your above scenario.

We can never rid the world of gilbuying, it's just not the way it works. The best we can hope for is to achieve the same level of anti-RMT FFXI has, /tell spam in FFXI didn't exist for the nearly 10 years I played it. There were RMT camping the manta and fishing, but outside of a few mobs and fishing, you rarely ran into them.. And seeing advertisements ingame almost never happened.

I'm not proposing this to rid the game of RMT entirely, that's impossible, but to rid the game of their spammy adverts.
