    RMTs are starting to bother me...

    I'm not sure if this thread should be for reporting, but I want this to be a discussion on the General forum in case people are having these problems on their servers as well.

    I've ONLY noticed RMTs being in Limsa Lominsa's surrounding area. They camp at the Aetheryte camps and with one leader in the party doing the main fighting while the lesser members stay at the camps and flag Levequests exactly as the leader of the RMT party finishes.

    The leader of these RMT parties have vague classes/jobs (I've only seen them as classes, though) because they wear a cane tha CNJs use. However, the only AoE spells CNJ use are Stonera and Aerora, but I've actually seen some at Camp Skull Valley several months ago using WATER; are they hacking data files to get that spell back? My friends have also seen them use Water, Watera, and Wateraga before.

    Then they ride Goobbue and glitch through obstacles and hop off their mount while continuously moving forward. They then stand still then summon their Goobbue again, and then their monsters they killed appear in a clutter due to lag. Then the RMT runs back to the Aetheryte camp to the other lesser RMT who flagged the next Levequest, so the leader RMT rides the mount back, rinses and repeats.

    On top of seeing them running everywhere (there are at least 7 RMT leaders fishing the quest monsters and killing them off with AoE spells when I'm doing my own Leve at Cedarwood), the RMT bots (the ones that stay behind are lower leveled; I'll get to explaining them in a bit) stay behind and there must be at least 40+ characters being idle on screen. I can't even start my own Leve without lagging; I started my Leve and summoned my Chocobo, but due to the lag, it took 3 minutes out of the start of my Leve just so my character could load back up!

    Now with the lesser RMTs that stay behind at the camp, they are lower leveled. However, I've noticed that now that the lesser RMTs have gained higher in level now at Cedarwood, they are able to party and do MULTIPLE Leves at the same time and level up!

    I know that these RMTs are breaking any Terms of Service or rules for the game, but their characters can use older moves, clog up areas to cause lag, and they are farming Leves to gain gil. I have gained 2M gil myself doing Leves, but also have played my battling jobs accordingly while having fun

    But...this is a problem on our server, and I want to see if anyone on their servers are experiencing these problems. I at least wish to get a response from a Community Leader or mod on this to report back to the Dev or GMs. I've tried reporting this as well to a GM, but I have not received a response back... I also want to hear, like I've said, if other people have experienced these problems as well.

    Oh, and the RMTs have gibberish names such as Gojslejofljk, Vvvvvvvvv Bbbbbbbbb, John Smith, Ronald Grump, Maggie Miller, etc. (the last few eligible names are from a random name generator, as my LS pointed out). That's the easiest way of finding these characters.

    I don't mind the RMT. Each one of those is another payment that SE really needs to support this game. It's not like they do anything harmful to other players.

    Well, I agree with you on that.

    But what really gets me is how they can hack the data to get the CNJ's old magic pool back. Plus I hate the lag I get. My computer has no problem at all running this game, but with so many characters on screen at Cedarwood, it puts Ul'dah to shame.

    I think you might mis-seeing the magic. It's almost possible to hack this game since there's super protection or encryption every transaction ( as you can see when you trade item back to your retainer, it slow as hell ).

    And about the graphic lag.. you cant blame them because if you blame the lag, when you in Ul'dah you must blame other players too cuz if you said you are lag with only 1 or 2 full PT of RMT.. i think you can do anything in uldah since it a lot more player in the area.

    Try to upgrade your PC/Graphic card would help solve your lag issue. And just ignore them. Me too see them and I'm still curious because sometime they just standing still and do nothing...and what's the point of RMT if they just doin nothing lol.

    I've been seeing less RMT around Cedarwood. It's so lonely now.

    My servers RMTs must have Sundays off, they were nowhere to be seen yesterday...

    On my server the RMTs are usually white mages and regularly use Holy to kill leve karakul sheep to farm their fleece so they can keep the prices high on our server. I don't experience any lag and they are nowhere near the number that the original poster quoted.

    They're not hacking old magic skills, you and your friend saw this wrongly. Every spell you do gets server side checked, even if you get everything modified locally.

    As for RMT payments, some people argued they cost SE money since they use stolen CC and stuff like that. I could kind of understand that on a large scale (wow,d3,etc) but for XIV i dont know, they've been around too long and too obvious imo.

    I doubt RMT would use stolen credit cards. It's a legitimate business. Using stolen credit cards would just get them in trouble seeing as the profit they make has to be claimed. Most of them are just people like you and me trying to make a few extra bucks.

    That is what I thought, and said in one of the other 20'000 threads on this topic, but people argued with me they use stolen CC so who knows.

    Yeah no. RMT is not a legit business. Many gaming companies will seek legal action against people doing it. Unless of course you're Blizzard and make a game that supports it, getting 15% of each sale. Then they wanna see it happen.
