i have no faith in ffxiv gms after what happened in 1.xx, unless they do a serious upgrade on their gm status.

Wait, what? Did I miss something?

1 or 2 Full time GMs would eliminate most RMT/Bot issues completely. auto reporting is always abused in every game its in and is eventually disabled server side due to this abuse.

Suspend people for 3 days that abuse it. Make it clear to everyone that you can't abuse report and list things that qualify as a reportable offense.

that would create more work than necessary.

Why? No it wouldn't. Just have a little box that pops up before you send your report saying that you'll be suspended if you abuse report. No one would abuse it then.

that's like saying nobody will press the red button that states "do not press, will unleash feral cheetahs." ofcoarse people are going to press it.

that creates more work, so not only do you have to ban bots/RMT's now you have to temp ban bored people too. not only that but now you have to manage disciplinary actions based on the number of offenses for every non rmt/bot out there.

a Community GM is far more effective than any type of report function auto or not.

Is called "Service Business" for some reasons if you want to know... Is necessary. and suggested by IloveYouPumpkin, abusing will get the abuser in trouble only.

See ArenaNet's GW2, in a week those 40+ bots got banned, getting less spammy and less botty :|

So yea, is a necessary and effective way to report.

There should be some key words that will flag GMs to check you out and see if your RMT.

Gil.Money,$,Cash,Sell,Buy, URL links,

Yes SE has that exact system set. its been in place since 08 on FFXI... XIV has the same system...

[Kraggy]

Like if a Gil Seller shouts in Uldah or /tells a player the game will message Square Enix Headquarters if they are using any combo of words. Once a Character seems to repeating these key words over and over they can be easily taken care over.

Im Sure few other key words can be added to the list.

I take it you've not played FFXI in a long time, otherwise you'd know that no filter on Earth is going to kill all the ways RMT find to obfuscate the text to avoid anything resembling filterable content, while at the same time still allowing a human to understand it.

SE's biggest problem here is the human mind's powerful pattern recognition abilities which extract meaning from what to even a sophisticated RE is little more than random garbage.
