Give us an option to stop low level characters from sending us /TELL

[Zaels]

I doubt it'll increase the amount of players getting their accounts attacked, unless it somehow increases the number of people out there that are foolish and reckless with their account information.

How about having an option to turn off tells from anyone below level 50?

If one of his classes is not 50 or if his current class is not 50?

S/he would be able to /tell you if s/he had a 50 in any class. Assuming it can be programmed that way.

But RMT can bot their way to 50 in DoL. In fact, they're doing it as we speak :x

Unfortunately it doesn't look that way, the level information of other classes is not sent (to cut down bandwidth usage), you only see it when checking search info, where it is pulled directly from database. Programming /tells to pull all levels of the player from database would cause massive server load with all the /tells going on, so it's not happening. This if players had the option to block <x levels, if always blocked, no option, then the client can just refuse to send /tell, as your client is aware of all your levels.

Either way, it would need more than 1 option and I'm in favor of whitelists, friend only, FC only, none, all and combination of the first three.

Yes, that's why I said it would be less of a chance, not completely get rid of them.

That sucks, but makes sense. It wouldn't bother me much to switch to one of my 50s in order to /tell some people though.

I believe OP is posting about gil sellers and turning off tells from their multitude of level 1 characters.

Realistically though, this would increase the amount of players having their accounts attacked by gil sellers instead.

That being said, I'm pretty convinced most of the attacks are on people trying to buy gil by placing their details on RMT websites.

I can tell you right now, this is not the case. I have been playing MMO's for almost 10 years and never once bought or even thought of purchasing gil, but yet, each day i log into FFXIV i'm greeted within a minute with an RMT advertisement. This is beyond rediculous @ this point. This should have been resolved months ago. Why isn't there an option to "Black list and report"? Takes way too long to report each offender, so i just block them and don't even report anymore.

What isn't the case?

Oh, I see. I meant having their accounts hacked.
I can see why that would be confusing.

Sorry, i should have clarified, it's late and i'm sleepy, please forgive me!

What sort of community would a feature like this create? An elitist one that discriminates against low level players. Not everyone under level 50 is RMT. All you have to is right click and block someone. It takes less than a second.
