Gold Sellers

[Hiroradius]

The problem is, they aren't doing the gil by trades or mail. They are using the market boards.. Just look at the Allagan pieces, some of them sell for 25k??? That is how they are transfering gil to the players.

I was grinding out Garuda HM for 2 days finally beat it and my relic quest was gone (I didn't abandon it, it just vanished) thats alot of time and gill invested, and Sqenix doesn't seem to care at all, I put in a ticket and they told me to post here, good thing i'm still on free play so i dont acctually have to spend money on this broken game with shitty support!

I'm confused, what does this have to do with gold sellers?

Also think CS representatives actually joining worlds and banning on sight is the right way. You don't have to perform a lengthy investigation if you spot someone teleporting around or continously spamming RMT advertisements in chat. Just shut them off right away - No questions asked. Hacked accounts can be reviewed post banning. Makes no sense whatsoever to let people keep commiting abuse while they are "on trial".

I got really happy when I read the recent patch notes stating accounts had been banned and anti cheat measures had been implemented. Happened to log out in Thanalan before the servers shut down, and when I logged in, I was met by the same armada of teleporting miners and Aldgoat killbots I've seen since there for weeks. And naturally was greeted by an RMT advertisement tell, and a bit later on, found they've now started their shout spam outside the main cities as well.

I really like the game, and I'll keep playing. However, while patient, it's getting on my nerves how rampant this is. Even ordinary players have started botting, guessing since they feel nothing is being done about it anyway - 5 cases of these I've seen over the last 3 days. For example, a well invested level 50 grindbotting stags at Quarrymill on his level 20 alt class just for XP over night - How senseless is that? When approaching their FC, they state they are not hacked, they know them well, they posted on the forums just this night (trying to sell the ores they botted) and whatnot. In most cases, they aren't even removed from their FC after word with officers.

How many bots have I reported (today)? at least 10
How many bots have I not yet seen today? 2. The botanist bots I have to actually listen for since they're underground most of the time.

I have seen some patterns and am trying to gather more evidence to make finding them easier. So far the powerleveling bots I saw earlier went from Central Thanalan to Western Thanalan and then I lost them when they hit level 10.

I feel it worth adding that I very nearly quit the game the first time I walked into my starting city and was flooded with massive walls of goldseller spam. That the most basic of steps were not taken to limit that kind of spam spoke volumes to be about the quality of future support I expect to receive in FFXIV. I was even more put off when I realized I have to go through the menus and report each one by hand, then block them. Seeing how fast my block list is filling up, I'm thinking I'm going to end up just turning off shout and moving tells to another window. I'd really rather not do that, since I enjoy being social and hate playing MMOs like single-player games.

And to add insult to injury, I just had some goldseller spam get through from a guy I blocked an hour ago. I tried to block him using copy/paste to make sure he didn't change a character in his name or something and my block list told me I already had him blocked. I'm guessing it got through simply due to the sheer quantity of messages he's sending.

I'm not going to pretend to know how best to handle goldsellers. All I know is that the current state of things is irritating beyond belief. Entering a city and being hit with waves of goldseller spam is about as conducive to a good gaming experience as a sudden kick to the groin.

Trick is, if people where not buying they would not be there. How do you shut down the sellers, reclaim all the illegally acquired Gil and penalize those that have bought it already to level like crazy with no concern for the economy in game or the other players..

Not sure why Square doesn't seem to believe in small updates but I believe this and a great deal many other things will be addressed in November when 2.1 is put in place. Some of this stuff really should be implemented sooner. The way they handle this service is really starting to bug me.

Why does it say I am level 12? Im higher then that. You got to make sure you have different user names and passwords on everything. SE does not help at all, Some of the Wiki sites have viruses on them for key mapping. Lots of players on the first game also. You need to make sure you are not using 3rd party like vent. Vent can get your whole linkshelll= banned if someone reports or you get caught using it.
