Gold spam makes city chat unusable on my server

[TasOgie]

The lowlifes an filth that generally run RMT have ruined any useful chat in citys sadly. as it is an endless spam of dirt an gill spam. You cant blacklist them as it doesn't work sadly.

I was happy to read in that they're using the STF in XIV .. they use to refer to it as the STFU (where 'U' stood for Unit) but I guess they learned that was an 'unfortunate' acronym.

They created that group around 6 years ago when RMT had nigh on destroyed FFXI's economy during the infamous mega-inflation period of Christmas 2005 and SE's attempts to deal with it as part of their normal GM activities in 2006 proved largely futile.

While there are still HELM bots around (no MMO developer has entirely eliminated them) the RMT activity in FFXI plummeted within months of the STF's inception. For a long time SE used to publish stats on banned accounts, but eventually they stopped simply because the numbers became less and less and it became more or less a non-issue.

Well regarding the gold spam... I believe that the STFU acronym is accurate in both sense of the word.


Note: I wish they would include a rightclick add to ban option... simply because it would be faster...

Blacklist works fine, I've done it myself and you don't have to 'write it down': mark and copy to clipboard in the usual way, then paste that into the 'add' box .. it's a bit of a pain, yes, be far easier with a single right-button clock as with some other games, but it doesn't need any typing.
