Don't think it is that easy - a good report function won't probably be in the game for a while, not if there are only 14 goldsellers - but it would be nice to get a couple of square GMs to work this out on the servers.

Don't think fighting Goldsellers is that easy - they are constantly finding out new ways and to really get rid of them is both a time consuming task as well as expensive (because you need at least some technical implementation to get the community to help).

you can make yourself a macro like this. (will blist the last tell received)

/blist add <r>
/echo <r> added to black list

The macro is only good for the whispers I am up to 22 now every time I enter a main city u get Slammed where all u see is a scrolling of it. A requirement of entering Ulduah atm is stopping to Blist the shouting sellers.

Yeah, the spammers add two problems. They take up a spot on the servers that a real player can use, and they annoy everyone w/ spam.

If it were a little easier to black list someone, the second problem would be lessened. If you could click the spammer's name in the chat window and hit black list from there, for example. (Right now you can click their name to choose to send them a tell or to send a friend request).

Sometimes they spam so quickly that their name scrolls off the chat log and trying to remember and type their name for black listing takes extra time.

I did this and it said that person was blist. Then the next line in red said /blist <r> used wrong. The Gil sellers txt was in pink, and even though it said blisted pink text still showed up

In FFXI with the chat filter option, I'd see a gil seller shout or tell about once a month at most. I don't understand why it's so difficult to give the folks at XI a call and figure out how to add a filter to XIV.

I suggest either a faster way of reporting: click user, select "report for gold spamming".

Or something no MMO RPG ever does, but really really should; incentivise users to report bots/spammers with in game rewards:
A few company seals (or something) for genuine spammers that eventually wind up getting their accounts deleted.

It'd just add a sense of role play to the proceedings. Sure the report takes a while to fill out, but you'd actually be getting rewarded in game, even if it's a token gesture.

What is making the situation worse is that reporting them seems to do no good. I see spammers that I've reported days ago still spamming. Got one right now spamming to sell gil that I reported 2 hours ago.
