GIL Sellers Are on The Rise

[TMjolnir]

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

Yeah that's a great idea...something like when you are deleting a character. Pop-up will appear it says "Are You sure you want to blacklist this person?" Add button is grayed out until you check the check box the "Yes blacklist this person" then the Add button becomes clickable. It prevents people from accidentally blacklisting a friend, party member, or FC member.

In the time SE lets them do ther thing, SE also tracks and bans supporters. When they got heavy on XI the amount of banned gil buyers sky rocketed.

Exactly what he said, I played FFXI for 10 years, I remember all the mass bans, one time they deleted several hundred RMT and billions of gil with them lol, just give them time, they do handle it

I'm starting to seriously question the Devs' decisions...

3 Suggestions on how to curb RMT:

1. Allow an option in the System Config menu to "Disallow Tells from people not on your Friend List"
*RMT are still ingame, taking up a slot on the server for "real" players. Does not do anything if the RMT /Shouts


2. Increase the Blacklist capacity beyond 200
*RMT are still ingame, taking up a slot on the server for "real" players. Still annoying to see them /Shout in the 1st place before you Blacklist them


3. Allow players to purchase 30 days worth of game time as an *in-game item* for 15 dollars RL cash, but can only be SOLD INGAME for gil
*RMT is no longer profitable, as anyone and everyone can make "instant gil" legitimately

You can accidently block a friend. I was clicking invite to party on one Person and chat scrolled and it invited other person. At least both were friends and knew invite was an oops.

As there have also been requests for an "Add to blacklist" option when selecting someone's name from the chat log, we would like to look into addressing this as well; however, this opens up the possibility of accidentally blacklisting people by misclicking etc., so we'd like to take the time to look into this carefully.

I find this a bit of a weird statement, you don't need to reinvent the wheel neither is this rocket sciene.

It's really simple just a check box 'do you want to ignore person x yes/no'


It's obnoxious to type a name like Fgfgh JgfIIIDW especially if you get whispered by 6 of them.
I think most people an handle the right mouse button pretty well, I think you could give them a bit more credit hehe.

I would like to report them but the Report window won't lemme type in the title or subject fields. I have been wishing cancer on the RMT peeps.

I've actually received well over two dozen gil spam tells already on Odin. I just blacklist them most of the time, but the one thing that was alarming to me was the amount of phished accounts that were used to send the tells (judging by the fact that the spammers character had an actual name, instead of just random keypresses). At least one quarter of those spam tells came from phished accounts.

So, what I'm saying is, please don't go to the advertised websites. Beside the obvious reason, they are more than likely phishing sites anyway.

I saw a large group of archer bots just standing in a area killing anything that came in range
