Exactly how obvious do RMT need to be SE?

[Doki]

All level 13, same gear, all with random letters as name

Not a problem in Japan

I count 26 active accounts there.

I wonder.

1) They don't ban RMT the second they start saying stuff. It's amazing you people don't notice that they ban RMT in huge chunks every week or two. Instant gratification generation I suppose.

2) You have an ignore feature. Use it. Until if an RMT account is paid for and is legal (not a stolen account), and that account has not actually participated in RMT, there's really no reason to ban them.

We don't really have any issues on Masamune, do we? Have you logged onto a NA server where you get 3 tells per minute, always a different name? Or worse?

I don't understand your stance on this.

Yeah, I have a character on Balmung. Your example is hyperbole in the extreme. The ignore function works well and SE bans thousands of RMT accounts every couple weeks.

In this situation people should damn well be wanting "instant gratification". They're PAYING FOR IT..

Technically, so are the RMT. If the accounts aren't stolen. That's why it takes time to investigate.

Only Balmung? Take note of the servers people are complaining from on the forums. Make a quick alt there and get a feel at different hours of the day. I did, and have seen the worst of it just to see for myself if these people were exaggerating. They weren't. If you feel you don't have the time to do so, your stance would be rather moot...

Balmung is almost never open for Character Creation. There's no RMT there because they can't keep creating new characters to get around the "well working" blacklist. It doesn't work, at all, and needs to be fixed.

Which is why they should not be banned right away but instead silenced. At least lock tells if they get reported enough, IMMEDIATELY, not two weeks later. They need to be proactive in combating RMT and they're far from it, which is why the day after these huge bans, nothing has changed.

Make a character on Mateus and then tell us it's hyperbole. I'm on Cerberus now and I haven't had ONE RMT since I've been on here, but Mateus was absolutely awful. I shouldn't have to clear my blacklist of 200/200 every day because of RMT. Some servers are absolutely bombarded with the RMTs and people shouldn't have to spent their play time clearing a full blacklist to add even more RMTs to it.

That stance is removing drones does nothing, nothing nothing and more nothing. You remove a drone then what, they make a new one and they keep doing this cause guess what, the drones are expendable. The purpose of the STF(Special Task Force) is to find the RMT leaders holding the gil and hit them where it hurts that's the only way they make headway against RMT. If they just ban the drones obtaining the gil they don't get rid of the true source behind the RMT actions only the people whom are expendable to the RMT cause.
