Regarding the new and returning players chat channel

[BST]

Well, they did say in the digest that they are working on a way to combat possible "Chat spam", let us hope they mean Merc shouts and real money trading advertisements, for the new Channel.
I hope they consider adding this to /shout and /yell as well.

Also they mention this will be a part of the Mentor system, so one would assume that established players can join with the Mentor status (/mentor on from A.M.A.N that displays "M" in front of the character name) set to on.
The current requirement to be a Mentor is:

Lv.30 or more
180 hours of playtime minimum

This should be changed to Lv.99 with a minimum of Six months playtime, this would put a stop to Lv.1 mules being abused to shout for Merc and RMT relate shenanigans.

max level should be a bare minimum requirement lol. Preferably max level on at least 2 jobs.

180 hours of playtime will take some players at least a month if not two. six months of playtime is a couple years of having an account and playing 6 hours a day every day.
