Why all the spam lately?

[Kaaori]

Did something change? At the beginning of the expansion the amount of spam went down to almost zero and it was amazing. I was able to leave myself off busy and people could whisper me whenever they wanted. But the past month or so its just gotten really really bad again :/ guess its back to being perma-busy for me to avoid all the whispers and friend requests from people trying to sell me gill

SE probably did a major purge on RMT bank characters around then, and now they've had a few months to build up their reserves again.

Most servers were locked from char creation so they couldn't make new throwaways after getting banned.

Did you honestly think one can simply remove rmt? They are like roaches, they will always find a way back in.

Seriously, all they need to do is bring back the 30 minute auto logout.

I still haven't gotten an rmt tell since expac release. I figured it was because you had to beat 2.55 to get to Ishgard and it prevented sellers from setting up shop in there. But then, again my server is locked out of player creation.

Mostly due to the ease on character creation limitations fir most servers. It's pretty bad right now on my server, at least when I'm in the housing wards; wouldn't be surprised if they're also not getting sales, so spamming to try to get more.

They don't need shops in the HW zones. All what they need is the search window to search for names and /tell

would not work if they send out nonstop whispers. The client have to be AFK for it.

It's definitely gotten much worse lately for me as well.

It's never left Lamia I still see crystal bots that have been in rotation for 3 months.
