RMT what can we do to help?

[Darkrotor]

I hope everyone just likes this post and doesnt spam clutter it, SE what do you prefer us to do in game to help get rid of RMT. I am getting /tell and /shout about every 10 seconds at this point on Balmung.
Is simply reporting the character name realy the only thing we can do to help? there are thousands of these jokers. I don't know of a way without paying for gil and reporting the actual character making transactions, if there is please post it here so we can help.
If anyone has real ideas please post but make this thread easy for them to find and siphon through.

tell people to stop buying gold from them, they are only here because people buy from them

Don't pay for the game until SE actually does something about them, 'cause that's the only way they will. Blacklist them, and just move on.

It just boggles my mind that these jerks make any money at all. They go around whispering mass amounts of random players, with I would imagine a very high risk of being reported. There was one guy whispering a number of folks in my FC tonight -- quite a few of us reported him. So, presuming those reports are taken seriously by Square Enix and they actually investigate it, there goes a $30 account down the tubes for their business. Rinse and repeat for every single account they buy to advertise their "service." And if any of those accounts make it past the free month, they have to start paying a monthly subscription?

Aren't they just burning money, constantly? And on top of blowing their paid accounts constantly, just to keep in the game, they actually have to successfully find players willing to pay them for gil -- players who are willing to do so, at the risk of being banned themselves. This is just unbelievable, to me.

Personally, I really think SE should make it easier to report these gil-farming spammer. Let us right-click their names and report them (and blacklist them), directly from the chat window.

1. Contact RMT
2. Buy all their Gil.
3. ????
4. No more spam

It's that simple guys.

Hello everyone!

We are glad you are having fun playing FINAL FANTASY and we are sorry that the Real Money Trading shouts have already begun.

If you should see any of these types of shouters, you are free to place a GM Call through the System Menu. As we do not have an option to directly report these spammers to us, we ask you choose the "Harassment" option in the Support Desk menu.

We ask that you include the name of the shouter along with a sample of what they had said. The GM staff will then receive your call and address the spamming; we will be sending you a message instead of offering a live contact to ensure your game play is not interrupted.

We are looking into methods to directly report them to us without using the Support Desk system, but we ask for you to bear with us until we get the tools developed. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we will continue to work with you to stop this type of violation as quickly as possible.

We will go ahead and leave this thread open as we look forward to hearing more ideas on how to combat this issue. Please note, though, if any posts violate our Term of Service, the post may be removed and action may need to be taken; please keep the replies constructive.

Thank you, again, for your continued support. Good luck and have a fun time!
