Gil sellers becoming more aggressive.

[ZettaB]

If you haven't gotten this spam yet consider yourself lucky for now.

I havent but truth be told, I zone out when playing, so if i get RMTed i dont even notice, i even miss tells unless i engage them in conversation.

What is the command to blacklist every gil seller at once?

Make a macro for blisting tells:
/macroicon "Fire"
/blist add <r>

The fire icon is simply for visibility when you are looking for the macro

I havent witnessed the add friend thing from gil sellers, but I have noticed a large increase in the number of spam tells that are being sent, its extremely annoying >.o

Yes the bot gil sellers are now sending friend requests.... So they can send their spam mail to your inbox ..*the struggle is real*

You can't blacklist someone on your friend list, even if its just pending, you have to reject the request first and then blacklist them.

/macroicon "whateveryouwant"
/deny <r>
/blist add <r>

Should work. Not at home to test.

Hmmm hardly get one rmt tell per week on cerberus lately... much less any friend requests(never have from bots)

Having a quiet time myself around Cerb, guessing only around 5 tells since the change to /tell. No friend requests yet either. good thing now to read this to be prepared for the incoming crappadoodle

I've got some solutions for this stuff. They are draconian methods, but they would I think, be effective.

First: A checkbox to block all whispers except from people in the following groups:

• People in your Linkshells
• People in your Free Company
• People in your party
• People in your full group
• People in your Alliances
• People on your Friends List
• People you've whispered last

Those not in those groups, would get a message stating you have blocked all tells, and if it is a legitimate contacting of the person, then they should find an alternative way to contact you.

There, whispers fixed. Next! A checkbox to block all friends requests. Bam, another one of the bots scripts destroyed. If someone wants to friends list you, they can either ask you to add them, or request a temporary unchecking of the box so they can add you.

With them things in place, the player then must protect themselves from the bots trying to get around the blocks by sending party invites. Which is easy, just don't accept random out of the blue invites. If someone is legitimately wanting to group with you, they should as you first if you want to group up for something.
