THINK ABOUT GIVING A 24 HOURS CHATBAN TO RMT KINAH SELLERS.
Explanation:
The business of RMT gold vendors works in two layers, first is the bots that farm kinah, and second are the whisperers/shouters who promote their services. By disrupting one step, you can solve the issue because you don’t have the resources to be present everywhere and all the time to stop botting. As banning a whisperer/shouter only makes them create new characters, a silent method could do the job: chatban. This would block the bot from whispering or shouting.
How it works:
When there's an automated detection of chat messages with mentions of Euro/Dollar/Ruble in words or symbols, a warning is sent, followed by a 24-hour chatban if repeated. Alternatively, you could target their websites' names, considering creative spellings like using a zero for the letter o. Also, block keywords like *.com in partial text.
This approach would block gold sellers from reaching potential customers (not everyone blocks them to keep their chat clean; some actually use the service) and hinder exchanges, thereby allowing GameForge to maintain the exclusive "I purchase item from the shop for you and you give me kinah" deal (which we all understand is entirely different from directly buying kinah with euros, which is of course another debatable issue).
However, having been part of the Aion Riftshade beta, where they're prepping for a Q1 2026 launch, I can tell you they've nailed the balance! With a server-side chat control and active devs stopping RMT in its tracks, it's a whole new gaming experience without these interferences!
