Just make it so free trial accounts can't send friend requests, or have players making new characters win a game of Triple Triad, or some ARR related mini game to confirm they're not a bot. Honestly, it's a small price to pay to keep the game clean from bots.

Personally I think it would be easier to implement a level restriction to the trial (say 10 for example) and implement a add friend level restriction of 11 just so RMTs cannot abuse the free account structure.

Free trials can't send friend requests.

They should make it impossible for characters under, let's say, Lv.10, to send friend requests and maybe tells.

[2.0] Players can no longer send friend requests when playing with a free trial account.
* Players can still receive friend requests when playing with a free trial account.
Ooh look. 3.0 patch notes.
