A way to combat gold spammers

I apologize if this is not in the correct location.

Create an checkbox in the option menu that you can check, to where you can only receive tells from those who have at least one class that is level 25 and higher. It seems to me that these gold spammers are using the player search to send messages to online players.

By enabling this, gold spammers would have a harder time spamming messages to those who don't want to seem them.

It is so bad right now, that I get messages at least every 3 minutes.

And the result is that they simply level up, making it only harmful to legit players. They need to change their strategy a bit but overall, nothing would happen to RMT spam.

It takes a while to get to level 25, they would eventually at some point realize they are wasting their time. It would lower the amount of tells these jerks send.

You do realize they are using bots to level up? It takes less than a day with bots. They are not wasting time as long as there is a market, and there is a market, if there wasn't, we wouldn't have spam. And as long as there is a market, they will do whatever it takes to keep the business running.

It's "Gil" in FFXIV.
