Allow blacklist to hide spammers abusing Party Finder

[Emerald_Swords]

Surprised there is no implementation to hide specific PF groups. Fully support this motion.

It has been a bit difficult to get a party together in party finder for normal roulettes. I do support this as well.

[Miraiina]

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.

It doesn't really affect me. The only times I ever use PF I'm specifically looking by filtering. I never look at "all" so I never even see these adverts.

For those saying SE needs to do more, you need to look into studying some law. They aren't breaking any rules and thus banning them opens SE up to lawsuits stripping them of cash we need to improve/expand the game.

Honestly, Blacklisting should simply prevent them from showing in your PF. I am honestly surprised it doesn't.

Actually, by requiring other players to contact them outside of game they are insinuating that they're doing something they don't want to show up on the game logs.
Such as, selling this content for real money, or participating in RMT to get the gil from the player on a different server due to them advertising across the entire datacenter.

And those would indeed be violations to SE's ToS.

The fact that your defending these sellers is a little disturbing.

Honestly, if people are spending their real money in buying content clears in XIV, I don't necessarily think that it's just the seller's fault entirely because those certain people agreeing towards spending the money are just as bad. Actually, I'd have to start questioning why they're paying a $14.99 sub fee and then spending $50-$100 (an example) on someone else just to get them through Byakko EX, like bro, why even bother subbing for this game if you're going to do that.

It kind of makes you wonder if those self same people pay others to play single player games for them too. I just don't see the point in buying your clears with actual money, but people do what they want.

It's hard to stop them otherwise.

[Cylestea]

dont know if it was mentioned but if they are not that ilvl they cant lock it to that high no way a low lvl putting up a selling pf should be able to set a ilvl 444 max witch isn't even in game yet

I'm not sure why they don't just have some GM on patrol duty banning these guys whenever they post a PF.

It's kind of laughable how long even the RMT spammers are allowed to persist.

That's really all they need to do. Have a GM watch the PF. If there is a cross world thing up selling runs, it's obviously RMT. Ban them.

If they want more evidence they can join the discord and get undeniable proof it's RMT. Find out who is involved in the selling and ban all of them.

In every mmo I've ever played,(which is quite a few) they never seem to actually enforce their own rules. This game is no exception.
