I'm done reporting gil spammers.

They need to let players make blacklists of phrases that will hide messages.

This.. If I'm seeing hundreds of posts containing "xyzgold.con", I can just select that bit of text in chat, right click, and select "block: and never see it again. Additionally, if, say 1000 players block the exact same message text, then the system should remove ALL messages containing that text.

Maybe you did already see RMT add some strange characters in the middle of their url, or random letters/nombers at the end of their sentence ? That's a way to get around what you are talking about. All it takes to make blacklisting of a chain of characters useless is to change one letter, while keeping the whole readable. There is even already some messages where they tell you what to change to get the whole url, in case people dont get it. You will quickly get tired of blacklisting xyzgold.con, then xyzgMld.con (M=o), then xyz-gold.con [minus the -], then "xy zg ol d.c on" (without spaces), etc. The possibilitys are endless. In the end you will just switch back to battle mode again to not see another add with a slight variation from the previous one.

Even tho its almost impossible to make RMT disappear completely, i just don't see why they don't use any anti-cheat protection at all.

If you are talking of client side anti cheat, it is useless against RMTs. They use customised clients to get around this kind of things. All it will do is making players who dont bot annoyed and angry at the anti cheat bugs and false positives, while the RMTs will still be here in full force.
