Combating Spam Alone

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Not to mention that I never understood why people need gil so badly when they throw it at you in every which way. Unless you're buying a house (LOL), there's really nothing worth spending gil on.

RMT exists because there is a market for it. To remove RMT means to remove that 'market'. Theoretically it is possible, but practically it is near impossible.

Just like how the Japanese anti-piracy campaign is trying to rid of manga/anime rips. There are still countless sites providing ripped content, does that mean that anti-piracy campaign does not care and is doing nothing? No. Police are roaming the streets, yet crime is ever increasing every year.

RMT sucks, don't get me wrong. But putting all the blame on the host does not change the underlying fact, RMT exists because people who require the services exist. Unless you are able to change this, nothing will change. It's just building a wall with holes on each side.
What you may attempt to do with your solution may or may not work. Most likely it won't change much. But at the end of the day, if RMT spams still linger, does that mean that you stopped caring or just did nothing? No, you cared, you tried, but you unfortunately lost. Same thing for the devs.

Don't try to blame everything on others and pretend they don't care, that's just selfish and rude.

i have had quite good success (about 99%) with screening out spam tells on Hyperion using a 3rd party program which uses a filter list.

Tells are practically useless ingame as it is. You can't even send tells in an instance at all which is absurd. /busy and block em all.

Honestly I don't care about RMT.... because on Balmung we do not have that problem. Our server is full and RMT won't pay to transfer characters to our server. So here is the simple solution for you. Stop playing on a dead server?

So anything that's not Balmung is a dead server?

This thread has devolved into personal attacks, insults, and character assassinations...as is par for the course in MMOs it seems.

I tried.

Not just MMOs, mate...sign of the times. I'm glad at least you spread a testable idea around.

"If it doesn't effect me I'm fine."

That isn't the best attitude to have about any subject lol.
