What has S.E. said about the suggestion of adding right-click > Report system?

[Naliee]

I think it would be a waste of time to add that function.

I would much rather have a better filter and options to shut off friends list like the invisible mode like in ffxi this would prevent them from sending friends request.

If we can't have right-click > report, please give us this at least!

I miss the days I could hide in FFXI with that.

/busy

No tells, no requests.

Yeah invisible was great, nobody could see if you were on friends list, nobody could send you invites.

Nobody would know you were on unless you sent them a tell or seen you in the LS.

/busy

No tells, no requests.

No it was nothing like /busy where is busy you have to keep typing it in.

I can log out and back in and stay invisible.

Something really needs to be done about this.

[Asterforest]

It would be a great addition.

How would it be great?

Okay give you a example.

They report, that RMT gets banned, they make a new character and spam some more, the report button would do jack squat. The only way to stop them is to hinder their ability to message people and send invites.

Once that is done what can they possibly do?

Reporting them isn't stopping the issue, we have a report button people have used it and problem still exist. Tell me how great it would be? Cause I am not seeing it working.

Friend, Ls and Fc private messaging should only work this should be a option by checking a box. this way its optional.

Same with the friends invites option by box click on or off if you want a friends invite.

What can a RMT do then? I shut /tells off in game I don't get a single message but also I cannot see others tells anymore which sometimes is a problem but better than getting spammed 100+ times a day.

Its funny cousin said FFXI setup a filter a long time ago and FFXI is a old game and FFXIV cannot catch up in standards to a old game is pretty laughable.

You aren't seeing reports working for 2 reasons: 1) The current report system is a royal pain to use so most people either just ignore or blacklist and never bother to spend the time to report them (seriously, if it takes even 2 minutes to report them then it only takes 15 messages to waste a half hour of your time, and you can get more than that in a shorter span of time). 2) The investigation processes SE uses doesn't target the sellers but the 'bank' characters, so it takes longer for things to get done since they have to track them down.

This option would actually go a long way to solve the problem. When it takes just as long to report and block an RMT as it does for them to shout/tell their ads, then more people will report and more accounts will be tracked down. When LotRO launched the RMT spam was horrendous, a month later they introduced the 'Report as gold seller' option on right click and within a few months... blissful peace and quiet, so it does work... If it's done right.

A lot of RMT bots aren't being reported enough to rank high on the priorities list. I've personally seen the same bots sitting below a bridge in New Gridania for weeks straight without action being taken. I try to report each and every bot I see, but when the RMT really picks up, it's nigh impossible. Being that I'm on PS4, it's harder for me to copy and paste a name if my chat log is scrolling due to having so many RMT messages come in at once. I've done it before, but it meant I'd effectively stopped *playing* the game and was just standing around reporting bots for a few minutes.

But they did get banned.

I feel that reporting is sort of useful, but it's just putting bandaids on a wound that's far too big. What we need is a filter system. I hate having to block all tells because I do receive a good number of them from legitimate players who aren't in my FC and aren't on my friends list. And I really don't want to miss out on having a good run with a new player just because Wsgtrsnu Gnujiewsl wouldn't leave me alone.

Ignoring the fact that there is more to report than just RMT.
