Gold Sellers

[Edenmarie]

I normally wouldn't chime in about something like this but I must say the gold spam is completely out of control. I'm really surprised SE hasn't addressed it in a more serious and urgent way. It's directly impacting people's ability to play the game. When 95% of your friends are set to busy status to avoid gold spam and friend requests you can't communicate with each other to make groups or organize things or just plain socialize. It's honestly to the point that I think some people might actually not play this game anymore.

Hum...

It seems that our words are failing to reach those who are allowing this to happen.

A prayer itself cannot change a crucial fact like this. We can sit here and say the same thoughts about a problem that is not being solved for one year now... Or we can share the same will to do something about this with our own hands.

All those here who are fed up with RMTs, I encourage you to read my thread and sign.

I am getting really tired of the RMTs, I shouldn't have to set myself on /busy to avoid them in an MMO! I can barely talk to my friends now if there not in any LS I use.. They really need to fix this. Heck, they even use shouts now!

And since the STF is only three people (read the credits), it's a matter of Copyright/Legal, because the level of disruption (not only on /busy, but now they are using shouts and shoutspams!) is becoming a huge inconvenience

Can't Square Enix Sue the goldsellers directly and make sure that the sites the goldsellers use are taken down by force?

I even wonder if it's possible to sue the gilspam whisperers for harassment in a class action lawsuit and let them pay us for all damage done.

One of the RMT's have started going back to Yell's. /busy doesn't block that.

It's no different than counterfeit FF merchandise. Now you've got at least 6-8 sites going, and it's really making it a hassle for non-RMT players to play the game and properly communicate with each other.

If the STF is too overwhelmed, bring in Legal.

I just started playing and I had to disable tells completely.

They need to make it a "whitelist" and no on can send anyone a tell that hasn't whitelisted them.

Indeed. I just returned from a long break only to see the RMT spam has become worse. On top of that they spam us with friend invites to no end. We need options like the WhiteList listed above, an option to disable friend invitations and so on. This has been going on for far too long.
