Allow blacklist to hide spammers abusing Party Finder

+1, did notice this issue, something should be done about it

I agree. I am so sick of seeing this. We all know those people RMT too because they give their discord and only want to talk there. You would think it would be bannable doing that but apparently not, because i reported someone for it before and they just kept doing it still so obviously the GM took no action, ToS or not abusing the PF like that should atleast get a warning or something.

Might be an unpopular opinion here, but I believe these people should be banned and there should be zero tolerance for selling clears by directing people to out-of-game chat applications. If there was ever a sign of clear intention to engage in RMT, it is that. They are intentionally doing this to avoid being held accountable.

Doesn't matter. Please refer to my last post. You need to understand how law works. They break no rules UNTIL the actual act occurs.

I understand its frustrating, trust me I do, but the consequences for acting irrationally (which is what some of you are suggesting) would be disastrous to SE. I wish I had a solution to combat the problem, but I unfortunately do not.

Just to give an IRL example - a thief can scope your place out, but until he trespasses/b&e's/or steals he hasn't broken any law and cannot be punished as such. Even if he had a prior rap, he might be followed, checked on, but they cannot "punish" him until an act is committed.

No offense but your posts on this subject might be the dumbest takes I've ever seen. This has nothing to do with the law, like, at all. The law is not a factor here. What matters is the game's rules, and those can be changed at any time as well as enforced after the fact if they wish. And no nobody is going to sue anyone for getting banned from the game, this is ridiculous. I hope you're just trolling honestly.

While it may be obvious how they're going about selling clears, it's still only circumstantial and your idea could still be abused further. Players could simply make new service accounts for advertising purposes, and on the other hand you can't allow 3rd party chats to be admissible since you can't prove authentication of "who" that person really is.

Furthermore, we now have the world visit system releasing soon and player trading is confirmed to be allowed. So once that system is released, you can no longer be certain how a person is "paying" to buy clears because they now have access to trade gil directly across servers.

And while they are at it, include the amount of people who can be blacklisted. If they ever implemented what the OP's asking for, heaven knows we'll need more slot.

Very much agree!

[Bacent]

At this point it should be bannable honestly. I've seen screenshots where people were demanding money on paypal or pushing people to buy from gil sillers and deliver it to them on other servers.

[MatthiasS]

Yeah, this real cash for clears trash needs to end yesterday.

even something as simple as a report button for miscategorized party finders would be a massive step in the right direction.

Agreed, since baby steps are usually the first thing to happen.
