Is This New? - Gil Seller Tactic

[dank1]

I've gotten this same guy several times today if I'm not in a dungeon/trial. I accepted it once, seeing what would happen. They send you a message in the mail with the same advertisements they send in tells. It's fairly annoying with the FR's out of the blue. >_>

Me too bb Laurex something

i just turn off all tells. there is not important messages or willfully ignore. just i can enjoy the game without always turning on/off busy just to que, group and the like.

the friend request senders are few and far away that i now normally only have 3-10 on my black list.

Ya it was good for a long time but I slowly started to get a few over the last few days sigh back to forever /busy -.-

I see you're on Mateus, which is a horrible server for RMT in the first place.

I used to play there, and I got friend requests every 2 minutes, constant /tells and people even /shouting their websites. I even accidentally accepted one of their requests once and they sent me a Moogle letter!

I transferred to Cerberus a while ago and haven't recieved a /tell or friend request since. To answer your question though, no, it's not new. They've been doing that for as long as I can remember.

Judging how these scammers are so good, they should help find cures for cancer instead of trying to get our money and annoy everyone >.<

And yup, they are back on Gilga..

Hello,

I don't believe I've seen anyone comment on this yet, but today I've been encountering obvious gil sellers sending me friend requests and then withdrawing the request only to send it again so that I get a repeated audio notification that this person wants my attention. Blacklisting works until the next name comes along and does it.



Has anyone else seen this happening?

I have had this happened to me this morning. In the past they would just send me tells or just send me a friend request. Blacklisting works, but its really annoying. Hopefully SE does another massive gill seller purge like they did before HW was released.

Mateus is absolutely horrible right now for RMT spam. I get constant FR and tells i cant blist them fast enough. Does this mean that our server has alot of gill buyers. Could explain some of the outrageous MB pricing.
