eliminating tele-***** spammers...Follow

Well, if you'd read on the "Jeuno, world of wtf"
you'd see that to combat those stupid /sh spammers, I offer teleports for free.
It's my way of fighting the insanity.

Tele-***** spammers aren't even that bad right now in comparison to the CASINOS. My blacklist has well over 40 people on it right now thanks to casinos...it's disgusting. Yes, blah blah blah people can do whatever with their money blah blah blah just blacklist them. In Quicksand Caves awhile ago, WHILE EXPING, SOMEBODY STARTED A CASINO. ***** wasting your time and energy on the telespammers; the casino people need the constant /tells more.

You beat me to the punch! Tele-spammers may be annoying, but at least they provide a valuable, useful service to the community.

Casinos are a cancer, a plague of this game, perpetuated by those who are lazy and/or have no sense about how to make money in decent ways - that includes both those who operate and those who participate. They could farm, fish, craft, garden, mine..but no, they have to play stupid games that get them blacklisted by most people. I can't wait until these people come begging for parties...although personally I won't hear 'em.

bleh.. I'm rarely in Jeuno and when I am I'm too busy doing things to worry about teleporters or casino's...

teleporters are offering a service.. if the market didn't exist.. they wouldn't be doing it. /blist people all you want, but not everyone wants to play WHM just to get to 36th level to teleport themselves.

add to that.. MOST WHM's in general DON'T like getting bothered with /tells every 15 minutes asking for a teleport when we're in town, so people offering services means less /tell spam for me to weed through and tell people I'm busy, to which they often try to convince me SEVERAL times that I should 'port them.... I don't get this in Jeuno.. but any of the other three countries where no one really offers a 'port service easily results in several /tells. No going /anon doesn't help.. /anon instantly dings "this person is a WHM" In the minds of anyone searching. I had a friend actually argue with someone and turned /anon OFF just to prove to them he wasn't a WHM!!!!

as far as casinos go... it's a stupid tax.
"a fool and his money are soon parted...", people dumb enough to gamble on something THAT high risk deserve to loose.. sure it generates a lot of chat quickly.. but you can always filter it or blacklist them and be done with it. I just ignore them like any conversation that doesn't involve me... and since I'm typically doing something, I'm rarely in any given area long enough for it to be noticable, let alone a problem.

*yawn*

Personally, I appreciate your input and trying to find a creative solution (even if it is probably against the FFXI ToS). It sucks that you got rated down for voicing a valid opinion and a solution.

But...you need to calm the hell down.

People get rated down all the time, for no apparent reason. Get over it. You're only asking to be rated down more, not to mention make yourself look bad in-game.

/cry

Cant we all just get along??!

I've spoke to Hisisy multiple times. It's funny when people say it's one person and he's not a gil farmer...a few times I've spoke to him, he spoke the worst broken English I've ever seen. The next day, he spoke better English than I did. A few friends have also had the same experiences with this member of the evil telespam regime!

While that's valid, but I am not the one starting these new threads. Yes I started the original "Two little telespammers...", but as long as people are starting new threads concerning teleport spam, gilfarmers, and bokeli and hisisy, I feel I have the right to express my dislike towards them without being "off subject". I mean I log in today and see about five brand new threads with almost identical titles "tele...". I didn't start these threads. But I throw in my opinion on the subject at hand and "I am beating a dead horse"? What would a reasonable response be?

Let's see...
New hypothetical thread:

Poster A:
"I am sick of Bokeli and Hisisy and there telespamming. Let's do something about it!"

Vawn:
"I am sick of them too. Gilfarmers are bad for the game"

Poster B:
"Vawn what the hell is your problem? Sheesh, is all you do pick on those little guys."

Poster A:
"Seriously, Vawn try to stay on subject."

I agree that people who constantly spam and spam and spam tele's should be shot, but Tele's ARE a Good service to the community, not to mention, anyone who works their *** off to get whm to 36 to GIVE this service deserves to do what they want with it. If you want to charge 500 gil (which i do, it's my way of making Gil to fund my summoner and my ranger) do so, if you want to give free tele's, who's to stop you? You can't ***** at White Mage's for charging for tele's, that's like yelling at a crafter for selling too many of their product and putting a huge surplus in the market.
