GIL Sellers Are on The Rise

How about an option to right click on their name on the message itself and 'Report as RMT' option? That way, your staff will already have a unique identifier for the message as well as their username. This will also discourage "reverse-abuse" as the moderator will see whether the message was indeed an offer for RMT or not.

Reporting these people should be made as simple as possible, because they do interrupt normal gameplay for us. At the same time, being able to pin the message immediately will mean that there is less opportunity for players to abuse legitimate players of the game.

I don't quite understand why SE is insulting out intelligence by not making a right click blacklist where you might accidentally blist someone you didn't mean to because I feel its rather dumb not to be able to:
1.Copy name from chat and paste in blacklist
2. type them out, the rmt I have seen haven't had names like fjnsiojml sjlmds yet.
It's not hard and maybe they were trying to not insult our intelligence by making yet another "overly easy" option to do things. Though I too dislike RMT and have seen tells every tell was so far by the same person, and everyone in every zone SH and LS I heard complain was also talking about the exact same person. I had them blacklisted before they even sent me a tell. Honestly I don't like the giant right click option. When trying to examine someone it really isn't that hard to accidentally invite them to your free company, your linkshells, your parties and friend lists. I would rather not add additional buttons to not accidentally push imo.

I've seen one with a name like that, but that's 'cause the account they hacked belonged to a Roegadyn. *badum tssss*

Problem > RMT shouts in X area
Solution > Report to GM
Problem > 1-2 hours later RMT still shouting in X area
Solution > Don't bother reporting to GM's as what's the point if nothing is done quickly?
Problem > RMT shouts in X area and no one bothers to report them as GM's are slow to react.

How difficult would it really be to have a GM monitoring tickets for "RMT /shouts in X area", go directly to that area and instantly ban the shouter? If the GM's were pro-active and quick, responding and banning /shouts in under 10 minutes the shouts would very quickly dry up, the RMT websites would be not want to waste their money on buying the game (or using up their 1.0 accounts) if they knew they would be banned within minutes of their first shout.

/edit before I went to bed last night at midnight I reported a /sh spambot. It's now 16 hours later and in my chat log, is that spam bot.

Problem > Snip

^ this. As mentioned in my last post every linkshell, every zone shout was telling people last night blacklist and report "player Name" for RMT, some waited to see the tell to make sure but I know I heard at least 70 people in ls and sh and say say they were reporting, so why was this person still causing ruckus hours later? It was the same person, not banned/suspended and a new one approached, it was always the same person

My biggest objection to the Gil Sellers is the fact that they are spamming the chat area to such a degree that other things that are far more useful are being missed (ie looking for). I wish the chat itself was a little less archaic in design. Things that make it easy to change venues, add friends, black list and ways to filter "spam" would be great.

That and how gil sellers/buyers destroy in game economies when you see even the most miniscule crafting ingredients selling for thousands of dollars then thats when all the people saying they aren't that bad will start crying.

SE is working hard to help with these issues. Patience and courtesy will help us all weather things until they can be fixed. I suggest making suggestions to SE rather than ranting here. Always a better choice and nicer for all of us. Have a fun day and enjoy the game.

Thanks SE for listening...... not.

Gil sellers are now a daily problem for every1 and its clear no one from SE saw this thread when it was made, or cared.

Macro the following and it will automatically blacklist the last person to have sent you a /tell:

/blist add <r>

Pretty nice I thought.
