Gold Sellers

[Jas710]

So... what's going on,S-E? It is now 2015, and the game is still plagued with RMT spammers. If you think posting a monthly "action against rmt" update means anything to your customers, you are way off-base. You mean to tell us that you've brought this problem to the dev team, and they don't believe you? Maybe your customer support group in the US can't speak Japanese to communicate this properly to Yoshi P? Maybe your US boss is incompetent and has no idea what's been going on? Maybe the golden rule is you guys are making money on the side from these gilséllers? Is the dev team technically inept at BANNING ACCOUNTS INSTEAD OF CHARACTERS? Or how about this revelation... BAN IP ADDRESSES FROM KNOWN RMT WEBSITES. You guys obviously know the URLs by now? Or how about trying this strategy... HAVE S-E EMPLOYEES CREATE CHARACTERS AND JUST IDLE TO GET SPAM /TELLS EVERY 5 MINUTES EASILY to target ban them.What's it going to take? A psuedo-class action lawsuit? A petition with thousands of signatures emailed directly to your CEO? A massive drop in subscriptions to wake you guys up? What's the story, oh mighty Square-Enix?

SE needs to be more harsh on people BUYING the gil than just selling it. If I knew I faced a permanent ban if I'm caught buying gil by SE it's gonna greatly diminish the chances of people doing so because of the fear of not being able to play again. Less buyers = less sellers.

As it stands, people are getting slaps on the wrist and far lower number of any accounts being suspended from doing so in the first place.

Sure it's harsh and I'm sure they can develop a system showing actual RMT being traded.

SE could RMT spammed Tells most easily by:

1) Change command /busy to allow only tells from those on friend list.

2) Add command /superbusy to allow no tells.

3) Change new accounts (those with less than 30 days paid time) so that the option to send friend requests is unavailable.

This gold seller spam is getting out of hand now, I am literally getting them back to back now, my entire chat window is seller spam.

99% of my spam comes from the WTSGG bots. I ban one, fifteen more take it's place. They should eliminate tells for under level 10 characters as a starting point. Or even level 5.

Now look at the seller. These are shards. His bot fills the entire first page of the board, and half the second page. The most OBVIOUS sign of botting, is putting up 10-20,000 shards at a time. This is JUST ONE TYPE OF SHARD.

There really needs to be a way to report these pests from the chatlog. I've added over 100 names to my blacklist in the past 4 days. This is really ruining my enjoyment of the game.

I completely agree it got so bad with tells I had to turn off my tab and now 1 seller keeps spamming me with friend requests if I blacklist 1 toon he will make a new 1 and spam me again -_-. Sad part is I'm on a small server I fell bad for all of you that are on bigger servers if this is what im going through on mateus can't imagine what y'all go through

Did you see WTSGG's newest ad? I've been spammed with in 25 times so far in the last two hours.


"Plus 30% extra Bonus. safe and secure, legal and fast"

If they're claiming legal, there's one of two things: They are lying, or SE has sanctioned their activity, making it legal.

It's a lie. People who buy/sell gold to these scum have their account stolen and stripped "some time later", always happens. In every game.

RMT = Drug dealers and Addicts. Still illegal, people make their own excuses why they're above the law or whatever.

I reported over 12 accounts on Zalera today, and on the PS3, which wasn't really all that fun. But I did it. While it's not affecting my gameplay THAT much (at least not enough to quit the entire game like some people) it is annoying. I wonder if there's a way to auto-ban or suspend an account that even mentions any of the .com RMT sites, and is under a certain level.
