Allow blacklist to hide spammers abusing Party Finder

[Sigma-Astra]

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.

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.

That's the problem, I don't think GMs are allowed to search for evidence outside the game, and without that, there is no hard proof that it's RMT.
Content selling for gil isn't RMT, although someone might deal with RMT to be able to buy it, that's a separate offense.

Bumping this back up. I'd like SE to take this suggestion into serious consideration.

IMO they should just make advertising of clear sales via cross-world PF against ToS in and of itself. It would be the easiest thing in the world to police since they have only to look at the PF and see if anything is there, and I would presume it would have a significant effect on the RMTers' rate of sales if they can't advertise in-game.

at the very least listing it under "roulettes" instead of "others" should be reportable as spam
