Region Locking servers to stop RMT?

[TinyMonster]

You want to get rid of Gil selling spam?

Then get SE to produce an in-game item that gives you 30 days of paid game time. Make this item tradable (and thus sell-able), but also make it only initially available through the Mogstation. IE - you want Gil, buy one of these and sell it on the board. Someone prefers to spend Gil instead of cash on their subscription? That person buys your subscription item and uses it.

Once that is done, market forces (supply and demand for this item) will force the Gil sellers out of FF14 somewhere else. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

I support this 100%

This can all be solved by doing a few things:

- Remove the current word filter that makes your emotes some times vanish into the abyss and hurts roleplayers and does nothing to stop RMT.
- Add the option for people to make custom word filters.

The first option doesn't solve anything to do with RMT. This thread isn't about RP'ers.

Like many other players, I am sick of getting inundated with /tells from these RMT clowns. I am wondering if SE could consider locking servers by region. What I mean is North American servers playable only by North American consoles & PCs, Euro servers by Euro consoles/PCs, and so on. My guess is that this would get around the IP address spoofing tactics from these Chinese criminals.

I'm not sure myself if this would be effective or not, but I'm at my wits end with this RMT trash.

And how is this going to stop RMT? Just turn off your /tell and live life much happier.

What se actually fears is that they break the market board what happen when some one used all their money to buy shit tons of Gil and completely destroy the market board and that's not the worst part

Since this will be legit and se can't ban him for destroying the market board

Chinese don't typically have UK mailing addresses...

And of course, Chinese gold sellers never lie, either. Though they do get points for the UK phone number as well.

There's also RMT that yank accounts via keylogging when the victim unwittingly uses the URL provided.

Hmm haven gotten any such URL from my email or Ingame so far on tonberry over the course of 2 years so I hardly doubt it

In fact haven gotten any tells since 2.2

The simplest and quickest solution right now is too make it easier to block and report SPAM RMT messages. A 'Report and Block User' subcommand menu item to quickly add a person to a temporary blacklist as well as report the user would go a long way in making these SPAM tells a lot easier to deal with. Right now, reporting users for RMT spam is cumbersome, and takes to much time to actually bother with doing.
