GIL Sellers Are on The Rise

[Dhalmel]

Pretty sure most if not all of these gil sellers don't actually have no gil to sell excluding the RMT from 1.0....SE really dropped the ball with those, I remember seeing one levebotter go on for months, till the end of 1.0.

Reported it and his many lalafell thms minions

It seems I haven't been lucky enough to encounter one, or maybe they are just on the NA/EU servers?

I havent had any tells from them but I have seen them shouting in Gridania and Ul'Dal...... we need a blacklist/report option from right clicking on their name...

Bumping this.

SE really needs to get the RMT situation under control. I realize they still have a lot of issues to work out but it's starting to get pretty bad already and it's only the first week. Every city on Goblin had 3 or 4 RMT shout spammers, there are gathering bots and someone on Reddit has already reported being hacked.

GM's in game don't seem to be doing anything about it despite several people reporting them. Maybe if the RMT's named themselves Ass Cancer.

In the later years of XI, I think SE did a great job with RMT with the special task force. Need to get that over to ARR as soon as possible.

I wish they could add a button in game to report them as goldsellers directly.

just make it so you have to "confirm" the choice with a popup /done

Doesn't work that way, we had tons of people complaining about "Accidentally vendoring my Paragon's Helm" despite the fact there's 3 popups confirming it.

I would argue and, in fact, have always argued, that it was not despite but because of there being three popups for absolutely everything you did in 1.0. It went from being a useful anti-mistake tool to "holy spam just get out of my face already" and I believe that many people who are attentive and conscientious as a general rule simply lost to attrition at that point.

I would also point out that ridiculous UI lag was to blame. My highlight was on a different item when I clicked sell, I knew perfectly well I wanted to sell the item that was highlighted, and the 1.0 UI lag caused the server to think I clicked a different item. (I never had a paragon's helm, but there were occasions where this happened to me with items of lesser import.)

Character limit!

My point being that "People vendored their stuff all the time even with three confirmation boxes" is speaking of an entirely different situation. We are not talking about a situation where one would be clicking every line in their chat, selecting "Block user" and then having to click to confirm three times, each time, and doing this through the majority of an 80-slot inventory. We're talking about a situation where one, maybe two people would need to be reported, and a single confirmation is presented. And that is assuming that this issue stems from a similar UI lag issue as the inventory issues did in 1.0, which would make the single confirmation box a good idea.
