For all I know, RMT sees Balmung as the big thing to sell gil in. And yet, I only get about 3 tells a week from RMTers. That's a big difference from the beginning of the game when I got like 20 a day. Why did they stop advertising as much? Is there less activity here? other worlds get -much- more RMT tell activity and their bot pics are -much- much more obvious (not that it isn't in Balmung but they always have loads more than what I experience in open world Balmung).
I can attest that the RMT activity on the lower-population servers is much, MUCH worst than on Balmung. Â I'm not kidding.
On Lamia server I used to get at least 15 tells a day, depending on how often I went into a new zone that number could double. Â I had to keep emptying my blacklist of names that were NOT being removed from the game just to make room for the newer, more persistent ones. Â Do not attempt the suffering of the low populace servers because it almost feels as if SE is completely ignoring their cries for help.
But yes, I think that if we could at least know what affected the servers (as you say, who/what is online?) then maybe we could determine how to fix the issue..
