How often do people use the player search

[Mintcake]

How often do you guys actually use the player search function that the RMTs use to find and spam us?

All the people that I care about finding are in my fc, linkshells and friends list. Would anyone be sad to see it gone?

I imagine the people who mass-blind invite people to FC's use it quite often.

They're worst than gilsellers when you don't have an FC.

Eliminating the search function to stop RMT? That's not remotely close to a decent solution. That would be like eliminating public education to stop bullying.

What they need to do is make reporting easier. The way it is now is so convoluted no one uses it. Make it simple like right clicking a name in the chat log and having a report option. I can't think of another game that handles reporting as poorly as this one. For all the flaws SWTOR had, rmt bots lasted for like 10 minutes before being banned because of the way they reporting worked.

I use it all the time..

I use it quite often myself.

[Verius_Nox]

I've used it to contact someone that wasn't in my linkshell/fc, or friends list. Pretty common thing with recruiting for LS/FC's, or recruiting for a static outside the game.

Oh okay. Wasn't sure if it was really used, which is why I didn't outright say "hey let's remove this and fix all our problems!".

[Kaizencorr]

If I have a good or bad df party, I use it once I am out to find the person or persons and either say hi or /blist them.

I also use it often

I use it often.

If I have a DF run with amazing people, I check just in case I can say hi.
If I have a bad run, I always check in hope that the rude player is not on my server.
