Regarding RMT and their new use of Friend Requests

[Sove92]

I think these RMT are full blown retarded.

They are in a game that doesn't require their services that they mention when spamming since everything is so easy to get in the game.

Believe they are in the wrong game, maybe they should hit up a MMO that is very hard to make money and grinding is a pain like secret of solstice <---- go rmt there is your new home get lost.

If they were in the wrong game, we wouldn't see them anymore, but because we do, it means they do have enough customers to be worth the investment of buying the game for every single bot they use (the whole service account gets banned, not just the character).

Back to the same OLD suggestion ... disable TELL for low newly created characters and make it a GC quest given ability or something.

Will cause more bots to run dungeons. Many of the spammers are compromised accounts anyway, most likely already having completed the required GC quest, if such a thing was added. The RMT can and will progress their spam accounts as far as it is necessary to be able to spam, that ability cannot be kept very far away from the beginning. Besides, SE doesn't want to cause more harm to players than it would cause for the RMT.
