I get them more since rhe

I am glad that this happened, however I still have to run in busy mode because of the spam from the unknown FC's that can't help themselves but send you 45 invites within an hour. Wish we could report them too and have them banned as well, would love to enjoy the game again in none busy mode.

There are hundreds of RMT bots on Balmung right now, but they just farm gil and don't send /tells.

Haven't seen an RMT bot tell since the banwave.

Gone, but not forgotten

The tells are dead, now they're doing their rmt business in shout lol. At least my blacklist can be [mostly] clear again

[Tracewood]

Come to think of it, I haven't seen one since the update... not. one. Praise the Hydaelyn (I just Balmung'd didn't I?)

While the tells have been forced out, don't be surprised to see them start purchasing advertisements on the various FFXIV websites that are not run by Square Enix. They are very motivated to make money and while we have won a major battle, the war goes on.

I think Square will learn a lesson from this along with the Novice Network. I see positive feedback on the Novice Network and that is player managed with GM override available. Same with the new RMT report system, while it has potential for abuse, it primarily relies on player input and discretion to make it successful. I will caveat with the statement that I have no idea what happens when the RMT report is sent...they say it is double checked beofre a modified silence is set up but does that capacity truly exist? Theoretically that could be thousands of reports per hour. Or is it more realistic for Square to come in on the backside to investigate potential abuses??

In the future, the FFXIV community can tackle similar problems by trusting the player base to do the right thing as long as there is an pressure release to catch the few bad apples. I do not pay $15 a month and invest hours of playtime to go around and be a jerk. Probably 98 or 99% are here to do the right thing

I was very happy to finally have noticed improvement hte past couple days! While there wasn't at first, there has definitely been a reduction in RMT tells. Finally!
