It's just another reason to get that external authenticator -- security token, app, or whatever -- on your account ASAP!
"Hacked" ...or were they simply stupid enough to go to the wrong sites or to give their information for powerleveling. Â If they were truly hacked i'll feel badly for them...but honestly, i wonder how many of them made a bad choice.
That being said, my loading screen in the cities are slow, so i start getting gilseller spam before i even see people...I type up the names in my chat bar and moved them to blacklist before i do anything else...There's rarely more then three in a city...and as they havent banned the ip's with the idle boot it seems they are slowing down a /bit/. Â I only had to blacklist 2 new ones last night when i went to Ul'dah from Limsa...normally if i'm on all day i'll have to do about 9.
Just keep blacklisting and reporting...its the only thing that will truly weed them out.
