Stop RMT Spammers - Make TELL quest ability

SE,

Come on, the same Gil spammer has been at it for weeks, and you guys STILL HAVE NOT stop it?

Please, make TELL a quest given ability already.

Weeks? Lol. It's been happening from the same ones to me since the start of the game.

Making it a quest ability won't change anything as the spammers can do quests. I see them even queuing up for dungeons together.

Minor annoyance at best. Bots already grind all the way to 50 then grind dungeons for easy mob gil. I don't see how making a quest is supposed to stop them.

Will not stop anything really.

What they need to do is add a Report Gil Seller right under the Blacklist Player. When a player gets reported X amount of times by different players, I think it would be a legit red flag where GMs and Dev can take quicker actions.

I actually went into my general options and shut off the tell, because I find it totally useless now, even though I might miss a tell from a friend or miss out on treasure hunts, its better not to get spammed 100+ times with the same message.

I am sick of deleting 200 black listed people, then adding them back with in a week and its a extra chore.

So I just shut off the tells forever till SE fixes the problem I probably wont ever turn it back on, if they begin to shout non stop, I will probably do the same thing because its ruining my experience.

You gave me a idea, charge people who aren't level 50 1k for each tell they send. I bet you anything they stop spamming you lol

Add Captcha codes to every tell.

lol!

@thread
seriously tho.. simple limit on number of /t a person can send per minute should help drastically. alternately, allowing us to use a whitelist if we choose to, fixes the problem completely.

another thing: it is a shame they made us pay in gil for housing; FC credits should have been used. there was less use or need for gil in the game prior to housing. i'm sure rmt loves housing.

edit:

They added limit to the number of tells a person can send! Thanks for this SE, I have noticed a vast improvement in-game with regards to RMT /t.

The problem with these suggestions is that people assume RMT are booger licking, mentally challenged. When they're usually smart/experienced programmers. Just because you had an experience with a "dumb" bot doesn't mean the people running it can't figure a way around some stupid quest.
