On Gil Sellers

So I logged in yesterday, after a wave of gil seller bans, expecting just a little bit of quiet.  Hope and optimism have this funny way of dying.  (Seriously, it's like they spin around and fall to the ground like Crash Bandicoot).  Within half an hour of logging in I was whispered by four different RMT bastards.  Normally it's one or two so four seemed a little ridiculous.  If there was an easy way to mess with them, I totally would.  I try to keep my general distance for a few reasons:

1) I want to avoid making contact with stupidity as much as possible.
2) It's never a good idea to be around any in-game illegal activity.
3) My hatred levels can only rise so high before everything goes red and hazy and I wake up the next day with a handful of ears.

So I did the most sensible thing.  I sent them tells insulting them, blacklisted them, and reported them.  Sending them creative insults does wonders in letting out the steam of frustration.

Gilseller1> real time money transfer! garanteed delivery! go2 all(plus)your(add)gil(and) isours (.(com)
Me> Go suck a chocobo dong.

Classy, I know.

Gilseller2> all your gold not enough? add more 2 uour collectin!  at our sight pleasegiveusyourinformation.hax we garen-t delivery!
Me> *Do you find yourself lacking the *gil you need?  You can add more....
Me> Eh, screw this
Me> Go sit on a cactuar

Not my best material, I know, but I was just getting warmed up.

Gilseller3> buy some gold from us at buysomegold.wewanturlogininfo.net
Me> Really?  You're going to be that lazy?  Most gil sellers take the time to make their tells unreadable, with a link that may or may not be right, even if you type it how they have it.  You're just going to be lazy and give me the website and tell me to buy gold from you?

This really must have been the bottom of the barrel for RMT.  I told this guy to go kiss a marlboro before blacklisting and reporting him.  You know what would be really useful?  If they made reporting/blacklisting people as easy as friending them.  Like, add them as options when you right-click their names.  That'd be great.

Gilseller4> אנחנו יהודיים, ואנחנו רוצים למכור לך זהב. בוודאי, אנחנו הולכים לגנוב את המידע שלך, משתמשים בזה ליטול פיקוד על החשבון שלך, ומגדילים את  .com הצבא שלנו של מוכרי זהב. כסף אמיתי העברה היא דבר שלנו, כל כך באה לאתר האינטרנט שלנו.
Me> I don't speak Chi... Hebrew?

That's right.  We have Jewish gil sellers.  They aren't just Chinese anymore folks.  I've never seen any Jewish RMT before in any MMO.  Not this one, not WoW, not FFXI.  I didn't even know what to say.  I didn't see an auto-translate for Hebrew, so I blacklisted that asshole, reported him, and finally started playing the game.

  1. Rofl! It does get really tiring after awhile.... I don't bother really looking at my chat window when I hear the noise that I got a whisper.
