Bye-Bye Junk emails! Well, ahem...., at least some of them.

So has anyone noticed that since we have been able to transfer influence between toons that the number of those ridiculous offers to grant oodles of influence for a price have since dwindled? There was a point prior to being able to transfer, that I just disabled my email options on all my toons because I was getting hit with so many of those ridiculous offers.

So good bye and good riddance to the unwanted solicitors. May you take your influence transferring ways to another MMO game.

I haven't noticed at all, but that's because I set it so that only friends could send me e-mails in the first place.

I haven't received a spam email in a year if not longer.

I noticed the decrease in spam too, also noticed the delay in how soon you can send multiple emails (don't know if that was i18 or earlier though), or maybe the devs got some other kind of fix in there to prevent too much spamtasticness.

In other news: Aett, is it ever going to stop raining?? I'm gonna build an ark if this keeps up, been gloomy all day.

I'm like Bill, I only allow email from Friends or SG mates, and even on the occasional character I forget to set that, I haven't gotten spam in forever.

I actually saw somebody spamming their stuff in broadcast.

The WW in Atlas Park seems to be the last holdout of the spammers. I've seen quite a few of them in there advertising in local. Aside from that, yeah, pretty much all gone.

Now that you mention it, yes!

I used to see a lot of it, i have not seen but but one in the last few months.

I exist in a perpetual state of /hide from search, so I haven't gotten any spam mail in ages. (I haven't had to use the new-ish mail filters except in one case where I forgot to rehide someone after leading a team at a Hamidon raid.)

Good to know they've diminished, though. I do consider RMTers something of a blight on any game. People can do what they want with their time and money, but I think paying someone else to play the game for you is dumb, and it's harder for people to do dumb things if the means of the dumbness is less accessible.

I haven't gotten an e-mail in about a year or so.

But the Atlas Park WW is crammed full of the jack*****.

i havent seen any RMT spam on victory and i havent gotten spam email in a long time because i have it set to only friend/sg

I can't remember the last time I received a Spam on Justice

Don't get me wrong. I'm positive people do pay for it, or the sellers would have stopped selling a long time ago. I just have a hard time picturing it as widespread, given how many people I know in-game, none of whom admit to using it. I recognize that it's possible people aren't admitting to using it. and of course there's no guarantee that my circle of acquaintances is representative of the game's population.

I stopped tracking a while back, but their price in real $/inf was falling steadily for a long time, which suggested to me that enough people weren't taking them up on it.

I PvP, but at the same time I am patient with the market and know how to build a good build on the cheap. I have no need to use RMT, as I earn far more simply selling my drops than I spend on even the more expensive builds. Like Uber, I'm capable of buying several +3% def PvP IOs at the drop of a hat, and most of the PvPers (and almost all the PvEers) in my circle of friends are the same way.

I don't see anyone using RMTers except the stupid or lazy people, honestly.
