RMTs killed Tell chat channel

[Doo]

I can't even talk on it to someone without getting blasted by a RMT 20 times before they logout quick before I could blist them.

Sigh, tell is such an important function to lose for players that are social. Maybe it's like FFXI, S.E will only start caring when it effects JP players. So that means never.

The default hotkey used for all chat channels involve the Alt key.

Sidenote, hands up every FFXI-player who ASAP changed it to Ctrl? =3 /waves hand

Hands up *waves furiously*

Instance dungeons killed /tell channel XP

Honestly been playing since launch and I don't get what the big deal is... I get 3 /tells top a day max, i just blocklist them and move along... Not saying it should stay but I won't disable /tell for it... I'd like to think that SE do their best to remove RMT, but the RMT is too "powerful"... But who knows... Maybe they need to try harder...

I have much bigger problem not being able to send /tells in many cases in game but that's a different thread XP

I get like 30+ per day, is it bad or you think its still ok?

5 tells a day? Who is that lucky? Recently it has been so bad as 5 tells a minute from DIFFERENT characters, blacklisting all of them can help for about an hour + shout and yell spam has returned!

Can anybody who has swapped from a JP server to a NA server or vice versa help confirm that this only happens on the NA side?

[Rhas]

how can this even be when SE could've just copy/pasted the format from ffxi?

No they couldn't, not the same game engine. Its like trying to put a moped engine onto a motorcylce. They look similar... but not the same functionality.

I usually don't even get 1 - 2 a day. Maybe some servers are worse that others... but then again I play on a server where character creation is typically locked most of the time

Yes, there are no gilseller tells on the Japanese servers.
