GIL Sellers Are on The Rise

If you don't wanna add a right click blacklist option at least add a /blist "Name Name" command. One is, clearly, very sure with that kind of thing.

A chat command already exists. It's "/blist add "Gil Spammer".

A chat command already exists. It's "/blist add "Gil Spammer".

And that chat command actually does have a confirmation box that appears when you press ENTER. I guess Square-Enix is afraid that the user will also accidentally click on "Yes" or "OK".

I liked how FFXI had an option in chat filters for "filter shouts deemed to be spam" and "filter tells deemed to be spam". Now FFXIV devs just need to implement a similar heuristics filter and enable an option for it in the client. The filter in FFXI wasn't perfect by any means, but it filtered most of the spam.

I had some sending me tells today for the first time. I'd report them, but SE made it such a pain to do so. Can't be bothered.

Those RMT are persistant and will find a way to disrupt the game by uniting and hording key essential areas needed to complete certain Missions, Quests, and other tasks!
They will do what ever it takes to Make a single dollar of real currency!
It got so out of control on FFXI that I finally left after 5 years because it was taking months to do a successfull party armor upgrade run because all the paid RMT parties was hording the areas!
Linkshells were always breaking up mainly for the same reason unsucessfull runs caused by those RMT's.
OK so Gill it self has no value but they will eventually find something that has value and will do every thing possible preventing you from getting it!
I just dont like the help desk program it should be able to auto link the server,Area, and time and all you should have to do is type the name of the character and what was said!
We sould not have to type all that area stuff!
Please upgrade this!

I have a total of 12 spamers on my Blist right now. And some of the names you can tell they are just going to delet that name an make a new one. heres a example of the type of names im seeing (Nnrvjxtn Tjqix) now this is one i just made up but for the most part thats what they look like so if you report them an the GM or Dev dosent respond fast enough. they have deleted there old name an made a new one. If im Wrong then sry. was just thinking of how they could get around it if not caught fast enough.

This right here! *yells* hey developers are you reading the first sentence? i can black list all the spam all i want, but if they are going to delete their toon and make a new one then it renders the black list obsolete. At least World of Warcraft implements a "report spam" system same with SWTOR which in turn takes care of the problem with haste. This whole macro for blacklisting spammers doesn't fix the problem, it just ignores a name that will be deleted with in a few minutes to make a new one to do the same thing over again. Find a way to ban their IP if i can ban an IP from my website why can't this company with tons more money than i have do the same? /whine /rant

The same two naked miners have been running around the first mining spawn point outside uldah on my server farming crystals non-stop since I joined the game. In December.

Not really sure how this has gone unnoticed, but I really don't feel like it's my job to be the police and run around reporting obvious bots to the developers.

Not putting it in because you might blacklist the wrong person is nothing short of retarded. If it says "Would you like to report <name> for spam?" and you confirm it even if it's the wrong person, you're retarded as well.

Edit: And this goes without saying, but here it is anyways: Selling in game currency is a business. They do it to make money IRL as anyone does with any job. They make it, they market it, and people buy it. They will never go away until people stop buying from them and they stop making any money from it. So remember the next time you see their spam, that they're doing so because your fellow players are keeping them in business.

i'd like it if blacklist actually blocks them from sending tells to me too, i'm 100% sure i blacklisted a gil seller (he /tell me out of nowhere, after blacklist i received another from him a while later)
