RMT spammed me todayFollow

As my title indicates, I was spammed by RMT today. I found this as odd since I haven't received a single /tell until now. I'm going to appeal to the dev team for a report function with easy access right on their name. It's too much of an hassle to deal with them right now going though the menus. Anyone else notice the RMT today?

same. i just sent a harassment report. idt it actually did anything haha

Over the course of the last week I've received 3 tells for RMT. They really do need to streamline blacklisting in this game. It shouldn't be more than a few clicks. I got to watch one of them send me repeated tells while I tried to type out his gibberish name for the blacklist.

Well, I was offered 100k gil for $32 "USD."

I offered them a vacuum cleaner in exchange, no reply.

Part of me missed the old Darkfall just for how the community was able to deal with gold spammers.

You were able to kock people out of the safe tower range then gank them and loot them.

Also when you saw an obvious gold farmer doing the farming part...you could serious harass them, and if killed steal their lunch money literally.

I once had one bribe me in broken English to leave him alone to work. Took his stash, banked it, came right back and took tower damage as I killed him.

For this game, best thing we could do is not ban the gold farmers, so everyone just has to block one set of spammers or allow GM's to global mute the spammers and just let them be. Nothing worse than continually filling up your blacklist with new farmer names because they get banned and come back every 5 min.

YOU ALL COULD JUST STOP BUYING GIL FROM THEM...

they will go away if they are not making money

Pen and pad is not fun.

You can highlight text, then copy and paste it with the usual keyboard shortcuts. Not sure if that works on PS3, but definitely does on PC--that makes it far easier to blist. I do hope they implement a direct blist option as well. There was a response from a community rep on it, saying they are considering it.

Famfrit just opened today and it's already got RMT spammers...

I seriously have to ask, who buys gil in FFXIV? This is not FFXI where there was reasons to buy gil for building relics and stuff. FFXIV throws gil at you without even trying. Unless you die a lot and teleport everywhere recklessly, I don't see a way to go bankrupt. If I ever felt I spent too much on teleports, I just do a few Leves and there is my teleport funds right there.

Same on Excalibur, I had a few RMT tells again last night. I've had to blacklist them as I can't seem to enter text into the online support system in game?!

one wonders where they got all this gil to sell seeing how game has been really hard to axcess since release. pretty sure most of them are attempts to hack people accounts

SE posted what to do if you are spammed. Official Forum Link

I've reported more than a few already and heard back from SE.

Yeah I saw this on Reddit earlier... great tip! A lot of people are setting a macro for it.

I think someone mentioned you just have to be careful you don't get a tell from a friend right before... you may accidentally BL them. But since you have to hit "Yes" you may not have an issue with this.
