    Allow us to report players for phishing tells by right clicking their name

    Occasionally players will send tells with a link to a fake forum site to enter a fake raffle for 3 million gil. Presumably if you log in, they'll steal your info.

    Currently, you have to go through the support function in the menu to report these players which is tedious to type out and near impossible on console.

    It would be nice to just be able to select their name from the tell, click report, and have on option that says "Phishing attempt" or something like that.

    Currently the only option is to report them through this method is for RMT activity.

    While most people should be smart enough to not follow the link or type in their info, there's still plenty of people gullible enough to fall for it. Especially with all the new players and any young players that might fall for it.

    RMT activity.
    Yes, RMT. Like this:

    ^RMT, the very definition

    That's not Real Money Trading though, theres no real money involved. They ask you to just pick a number on the fake forum and type it in a comment or bump the post, whatever that means, and they'll draw a number, no money involved.

    The fake forum and link are designed to look like this one.
