I doubt it'll increase the amount of players getting their accounts attacked, unless it somehow increases the number of people out there that are foolish and reckless with their account information.

Unfortunately it doesn't look that way, the level information of other classes is not sent (to cut down bandwidth usage), you only see it when checking search info, where it is pulled directly from database. Programming /tells to pull all levels of the player from database would cause massive server load with all the /tells going on, so it's not happening. This if players had the option to block <x levels, if always blocked, no option, then the client can just refuse to send /tell, as your client is aware of all your levels.
Either way, it would need more than 1 option and I'm in favor of whitelists, friend only, FC only, none, all and combination of the first three.
I can tell you right now, this is not the case. I have been playing MMO's for almost 10 years and never once bought or even thought of purchasing gil, but yet, each day i log into FFXIV i'm greeted within a minute with an RMT advertisement. This is beyond rediculous @ this point. This should have been resolved months ago. Why isn't there an option to "Black list and report"? Takes way too long to report each offender, so i just block them and don't even report anymore. :(
What sort of community would a feature like this create? An elitist one that discriminates against low level players. Not everyone under level 50 is RMT. All you have to is right click and block someone. It takes less than a second.
