RMTs are starting to bother me...

[Naraku_Diabolos]

You made me laugh. I can log in the game right now and see them. And ill see the same ones in next week.

Quite ironically I don't see the groups anymore at Cedarwood. Some were there this morning, but now they are all gone. I have that one Mithra's name written down, did a search and I couldn't find her on the game. There is also a Japanese RMT at Cedarwood and she's not there anymore.

As I mentioned earlier, I believe that they are farming the one Faction Leve to obtain leather from all of the sheep/ram/ewe from the Leve. Not only that but also the gil.

While it might seem to many of you that we are not combating RMT related activity at camps like Cedarwood and other places, please rest assured that the operations and STF teams are proactively looking into this and performing thorough investigations. And to give you more insight of their investigations, we banned 700 accounts last week, but as you know they keep coming back.

In addition to ongoing STF efforts, we will be setting up countermeasures system wise as we head towards version 2.0. If you happen to notice any suspicious activity in your adventuring, please take a moment and help us out by making an STF report by going here: http://support.na.square-enix.com/co...hp?id=902&la=1

Can you ask the devs if they plan to add an STF form into 2.0? It seems like it would be a lot easier for players to help combat RMT by filing these reports if it were possible to send these, like a GM call, without needing to log/tab out and track down the form which is kind of buried at the moment.

There were very few RMT on Gungir, but now that the server is open again I am seeing them all over the place. For right now, what I do when I see RMT is target each one and use /tell <t> <t> so that I can copy paste their names into a form, but it's still kind of cumbersome to use the website form.

Erozea is counting on you! This is a big help for SE, please help report what you see so they can handle the rmt faster!

What really shocks me is that anyone was ever buying gil in this game to begin with. More than anything, I think the RMT were planning to stockpile for the event when the game finally took off and got big.

I agree. The worst thing was making the Goobbue mount available to ANYONE.

The Goobbue won't be obtainable going forward so once the RMT that have them are gone, this particular abuse will go away.

I completely forgot about that, because they will then be screwed lol

Thank you, Rukkirii, for commenting and informing us on this. It's really appreciated and I know that everyone on my LS (and my friends are on other LSs, too) will spread this news. Once again, thank you SO MUCH for informing us!

another way to kick rmt company where it hurts is create an se run"ed rmt like blizz is doing se makes a little and every 1 can get their fill or get rid of gill on the leves and make getting gill a little harder yes id hate the fact i get xp but little to no gill from leves but at least i know that rmt bots will have it so hard no goobuu to exploit leve's + little to no gain in gill = less rmt bots

[ArkNova]

lol I forgot about this thread, are the rmt in nanawa still trying to mpk people on Excalibur?

[Mudd]

Like I said, just tag them for PK, but make it so they can't fight back
Then SE still makes money from them, and the players can have some fun making the RMT's job impossible.
Win Win
Maybe throw in some rewards for high RMT kill counts.

Anything that is a mini-game, fatigue, or otherwise designed to require more input or slow the process of gathering/crafting only hurts people trying to play the game legitimately.

If you take a look at FFXI's fishing minigame, it primarily served to force anyone who was a fisher to begin using third party tools because it was impossible to catch money making fish at anything close to a decent rate gil/hour otherwise.
