Anyone finding RMT tells getting really excessive now?

Don't get a single rmt tell probably because I turn /tell off to notice any lol.

Not getting many on my end on Cactuar.. maybe 1 or 2 in a multiple hour session. I don't even bother blocking them anymore because it seems like they stop after about 2 tells (maybe that's part of the spam filter).

I've personally seen an increase in RMT tells lately. I went from getting maybe 1 tell a day / every third day to about 2-3 tells per hour.

I'm wondering if they're trying to target particular servers due to higher population, etc and focusing their efforts in that direction. I also noticed that I got more RMT tells while on a job pre-40 versus when I'm on my WHM / SCH / 50 jobs.

RMT tells are getting insane on Lamia right now, last night I got hit about 25 times in 3 hours, I suspect they're ramping up for the holidays with the expectation that people will be getting money for Christmas

Haven't gotten any RMT tells in weeks now.

Tonberry is almost always closed to new characters, and often I have to queue to get in. It must be fairly high pop...

Well that would make sense why some servers are not seeing them.. They are locked for new accounts. It explains why on my server they increased lately so much and were almost gone for a while.
Our server was locked for a while for new accounts and recently open up for new accounts ... I get one about every 5 minutes now.

I get a few a night on Hyperion. I don't usually get multiple tells from the same person though, so hopefully that means they're getting banned fairly quickly.

i was online all day yesterday (mostly afk while binge watching a TV series) and barely saw any RMT messages.

Filters? Hahaha. The only "filter" is a block on identical tells, which doesn't kick in if 3 characters of the tell are different. RMT figured that out DAY ONE, which is why you get a random 3 characters at the end of all the tells. The fact that they can't, or won't, make a workable filter that actually hinders RMT tells IN THE SLIGHTEST speaks volumes. You'd think, at a minimum, they could catch players sending 100s or 1000s of "similar" tells in the course of an hour, and ban them. But no, I only see 1-2 (Deleted) in my blist when I check every couple weeks, whereas I guarantee you I've blisted way more than that in the same time frame.

Brynhildr is really bad at the moment, especially at night. I got spammed 10 times in three minutes.
