Gilseller tells (Sargatanas)

The tells from gilsellers are getting ridiculous. On Sargatanas I am getting 1 or 2 every minute and they are from different names each time. If I blacklisted/reported them all I'd spend half my time online managing the blacklist and writing reports. Is there anything you guys can do to better filter this stuff? Or at least give me the ability to filter out tells from people not in my FC/Linkshells/Friend List.

They are pretty bad on Coeurl too I was in gridania at both the market board and the GC provision giver and I would get lots of tells while in menu ( it was 4 very fast ended up going busy so I can only guess how many more I would have got). I am also seeing more and more people with the busy symbol over their head something really needs to be done. I would also like the ability to filter tells to people that are on my friends list.

Thread number 98989898988827278378490109049858901 and counting concerning this issue...

Valid points, I assure you but happens in all worlds, not just Sargatanas ;)

I can't stress this enough. Copypasta from another thread...

ALLOW USERS TO BLACKLIST THE ACCOUNT OF THE PERSON SPAMMING THEM

&

MAKE FRIEND INVITES EASIER TO ACCEPT AND REJECT

With them allowing users to block the account, it would allow SO MUCH more room on our blacklist and hit the spammer at their core, while giving us a little peace of mind. The second option where you have to preselect something then go to the list to reject/accept again is BS anyway. It's not Duty Finder where you have to wait 50 minutes again to accept or resend a friend request. Allow me to just say yes or no one time.

I don't deny that it happens on other worlds. I'm 100% certain it does, but I can only speak from my personal experience. As for there being multiple threads about the issue, I hardly see why that matters. You know what they say about the squeaky wheel...

Signed.

I'm also tired of this. I just started playing for a week after quitting for almost a year and finally having time to play, and it's absurd. I've transferred to a new server and have blocked over 80 people in a week. I'm hardly not in an instance, too.

Balmung seems mostly free of these stupid tells. Whenever they pop up again they seem to be quickly disposed of, as someone who transferred over from leviathan, with the same RMT plague, I really wish more servers were monitored like that.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining that another thread with this title has emerged. I'm in agreement with them actually. Just pointing out that with all the threads concerning this issue and the Devs have yet to address this issue...

Trust, if I saw a new thread each day with this title. I would not complain one bit, even if it's the same poster starting them lol. It's a serious issue that needs more attention than it has gotten.

Borrowed from my FC member:

3 quick reply macroes for gil spammers. Set arbitrarily at 12,5, and 3 seconds apart. /r <r> "Flavor Text"!!
/wait
and repeated it until the macro could hold no more. Gil seller? Push 3 buttons. Giggle. Still online? Push 3 buttons, giggle more.

Let the replies commence!
