Except that they won't have access to anything buy local and team channels. I mean, I guess they could spam local under the atlas statue, so /signed for seeing Rularuu try to fit under there to blast them offline.

On being flagged as RMT you get forced offline and your character becomes flagged as a valid target and left in game for 5 minutes doing /BatSmashReact. We can stand in Atlas trying to earn PvP IO drops by killing RMTers.

That sounds like people would make free accounts for fake spamming just for the chance to log in their REAL accounts and get free PVP IOs.|

But I like the OP's idea of having them get visually modsmacked in front of an audience. I think it'd stand a good chance of scaring some would-be griefers and trolls into good behavior.

They could even have a nice ominous message from the Ravager (or whoever they get to do it) on the global admin channel announcing the "death" of another RMT spammer. |

I stand corrected. They can also pester me on a channel I don't read.

It's ok if you don't use it but the spammers will make it impossible for legitimate players to use it now that free accounts are coming back. And it's always fun to see an RMTer get his comeuppance.

Instead of silly little Rularuu the Ravager, how about something more fearsome?
Perhaps send in an AV class Willy Wheeler or Hero class Fusionette? Or an AV class Rikti Monkey who will then collapse in front of the spammer and fwoof him to death.

How about if the GM casts Soul Storm (or a recolored equivalent) on the RMTer and flags him as an enemy so all around can beat on him. Maybe give the RMTer a slight HP boost, since they're usually level 1, so more than a couple of people can get hits in. Not too much though. You need to take into consideration that it'll be fun for the first few times, then the novelty wears off.|

Instead of PvP IOs, just limit the drops to a tier3 Insp. What's more inspiring than kicking the crap out of an RMTer?
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

I suggested Rularuu the Ravaber simply because
1. he's the biggest AV in the game, so his appearance wouldn't be missed
and
2. They wouldn't have to create something from scratch to do it.

Fearsome, or insulting? |

The pvp idea sounds fun, and I'd recommend badges for it if I didn't feel that it would be almost as rare as a Bug Hunter badge, and just as annoying to badge hunters.

I'm surprised that none of the bleeding hearts haven't called me a monster because RMTers are chinese politacal prisoners that are being forced to play MMO's and my idea will prevent them from making their quotas and result in them getting beaten by the guards.

May I politely suggest a nice fun way to deal with RMTers that get caught spamming on soon to be free accounts?
Rularuu the Ravager
(or one of the other GM's)
open a portal next to the offending RMT jerk
and GODSMACK them with a Banhammer.
NCSoft has done something similar on another game they own that sounds like Killed Stores.
