RMT is now using party invites with their url as a char name

First time it happens, put them on ignore. They can't do it again on that character.

True, but they'll just delete their characters and make another one to start over.

Just means we're back to the days of filling and emptying the blacklist again. Or do you have a better solution?

Square Enix might have a case for fraud on their hands. We could possibly get people put in prison for this.

ESO's mitigation for this is to limit you to 3 character deletes and each one only re-gens after 24 hours .. not ideal for someone trying to create multiple characters in an alt-based game but in FFXIV I don't see it being really a big problem.

I'm saying don't bother trying to blacklist every single RMT that pings you if they are going to delete characters quickly. You'll spend more time playing blacklist: the game rather than playing the game itself.

Surely we can still /report them... I mean, when they investigate they'll see the name, and the sheer number of invites, and the fact that those invites never lead to actually forming parties and doing anything, and put two and two together that the report isn't a false alarm...

When devs during fanfest talk about issues doing extra things because of server resources. I do not think "How many party invites sent" is part of the tracked thing.

Plus this new thing bypasses the games "filter" list for bans it seems.

oh wow thats really annoying

Not sure what you mean "bypasses the games filter for bans" - a ban is a ban, is a ban. If you are banned, you cannot login. This simply forces us to resort to the older way to report RMT, which some players ceased using because it was easier to ignore RMT. This is much less easy to ignore and should result in a bunch of reports to SE.
