[Suggestion] Measures to stop recent swarm of Gilsellers

Im sure this topic has been beaten like a dead horse, but I'm getting a bit fed up with this crazy wave of gilseller friend requests and tells are getting more constant on my server. I'll admit, the tells dont bother me as much as the constant wave of friend requests. In response to these, I leave my suggestions as to how to effectively (in my opinion) stop this.

First off, I understand that you dont wish to block tells for new players, however, the method these bots use is Player Search and spam tell waves after waves, also with the friend requests Players have to resort to being in Busy Status 24/7. The disadvantage of this is that players cant accept tells from friends or people asking you simple questions. My suggestion? Give players the option of blocking friend requests. A prime example would be:

-Block Friend Requests from far-away players (If the player who is sending you the FR isnt in range (example, Say range) then the request cant be sent). The disadvantage of this might be that gilsellers will start swarming popular areas to send tells (Example, Adventurer Guilds in the city states). it MIGHT, sounds very ridiculous, but the methods these people go for will only escalate.

Also, another way to stop these wave spams would be to give us the option of Hiding ourselves from Player Search. This might be extreme, as people looking for other players of a specific first or last name might never find them, but this is only a suggestion. This would stop both tells and requests.

These are my suggestions, and I know this has been said already but find a way to halt gilsellers at least, cause even the most patient player will get tired from these preventive but long measures to block these bots.
