/Yell & Rmt counter measure

Hoooold on a second. I always thought that SE did a pretty decent job on RMTs in FFXI. The Special Task Force reacts relatively quick, compared to other MMOs I played.

A spam report function, as mentioned on the first page would be great but it's hard to perm ban a highlvl player on his first shout. If these guys are level 1~30 it might be okay to ban them immediately. But a lvl 50? No. Not at the first time.

Sure, there are ways to improve RMT countermeasures and I'm sure SE is glad to hear us out but saying that they did nothing, or that they are doing "nothing" (read: investigating) isn't fair.

As for a Global Channel.. rather not. Not a fan of it. If it's optional feel free to add it (I like the "Linkshell" idea).

There's no game or GM that can permaban. What WOW and D3 do is give their GMs to suspend a player for 1-30 days if the GM believes the person was actually spamming, and then an investigation by a more specialized task force is done to determine whether it was RMT spam and worthy of an account ban. Accounts found not to have been spamming are credited with free game time, and accounts found to be RMT spam are banned.

The important difference here is that the GMs, who are the first responders to spam reports, have the ability to suspend/mute accounts. In other MMOs, they don't have this ability, and these accounts will keep spamming up until the minute they're banned. OR, the game itself enforces spam prevention, which actually just ends up pissing off legitimate players and is not all that effective in stopping RMT sites from advertising themselves in-game.
