Gil sellers are Getting Out of hand...

[Yamisniper]

It´s getting worse and worse by the day now. Almost to the point I am spending more time blacklisting these spammers and Reporting them, then actually playing the game.

Up till this weekend it was just a casual spammer in the main cities, but as of this weekend there are now at least 4-5 spammers in each city and now they also spamming the regular zones as well!

It´s seriously irritating... as it now really starts to directly affect my gameplay, because I have to spend at least 5 minutes (if not more) blacklisting and filing a report every friggin time I zone!

If this isn´t going to be dealt With fast enough, I will start losing my enjoyment in this game pretty quickly.

It was one of the primary reasons (Next to the bot invasion) I quit AION within the first month after release, as I just couldn´t stand all the spam anymore.

Also, it would GREATLY help and somewhat relieve this Whole stress if we could just rightclick the spammer name in chat and directly blacklist! Instead of having to constantly Write the entire EXACT name! Especially since their names also become more and more annoying and more time consuming to Write Down and blacklist!
Especially With the speed and horrible fast pace of these spammers, you are forced to maximise Your chat screen every time to have enough time to read their full names and blacklist them.

Even better, like other MMOs have already done is to just have the option of right clicking name in chat and have a feature "Report as Spam", that automatically blacklists that person and creates a report to Support!
This would be the best solution IMHO! As now you have to og through the entire support system to Write a report and just takes too much time. And With the horrible increase of amount of spammers... I am soon just gonna stop Reporting them, as it just takes too much time. Seriously irritating!

highlight his name and hit control c then paste it in the black list with control v make sure you dont have any extra spaces

So far, I deal with these people by blacklisting them. My question for the mods or devs is, is there a limit to how many people I can blacklist? Is this going to be the only solution we have?

Other than that, the game is awesome and I'm having a blast.

If you look up the whois info on the seller's domain, in almost all cases it's owned by a Chinese company. Too bad you can't block the entire IP range for a country that the game isn't released in... Oh wait you could. I guess they would just use proxies to connect anyhow.

There needs to be a block option when right clicking someone's name.
There needs to be a "report for spam/RMT/inappropriate behavior?" prompt when blocking.

The limit on blocks are 200. Once an account has been banned/closed due to abuse, would it be possible to have the server remove all trace of that name? It would be nice to log in, check my block list and see the number of names block slowly disappear, letting me know progress is being made, and if new names to block show up, I will have the ability to do so.

FFXI's spam filter work great, they should have added that on FFXIV! and the real issue is the buyers, they come to them so they will continue selling gil, i've seen some already made 1m in those shouts ><

as of current its caps at 200

I don't see why SE leaves it up to us to report obvious RMT advertising. It is their job to keep servers clean. We pay them for that, not the other way around. A GM going through zones regularly should be able to handle this on the spot.

3 days the same people shouting and not getting banned, is ridiculous. To accommodate THEM, I had to block shouts and yells, and loose game functionality in the process.

At this rate I'm going to max that out fairly quickly...

/blacklist add <r>

Best macro for Gil Sellers. But there will be gil sellers with the current economy.

Please for all that is good in the crystal of light, send Bahamut to take out the Gil sellers....my fingers hurt from blacklisting, The numbers are growing and have become insane, and they spam like a squirrel on an energy drink!

Yea the fact that our friends can't get on our servers to play, while there are 5 different RMT characters on every map is really not looking good for SE at the moment.

That's because those are hacked accounts of characters already in that server most likely.
