Restricting PMs, Yells and Shouts for people under Lvl 10 is a start. I've seen this work in other games as well, at least to some degree. Blocking Player Search entirely is not going to help much, since spambot will then find other means of obtaining names. But we can still make Player Search something you only unlock after completing a certain part of the Main Story, let's say maybe at the point where you use the Airship for the first time or when you unlock Sastasha. Right now, the RMT bots have WAY too much freedom of obtaining player names and spamming the living moogle out of you. What's the only thing they have to do now to start commencing the scam routine (Yes, scam routine because most "RMT sellers" are just scamming you out of your account)?

- Step 1: Make a char (Takes around 30 seconds)
- Step 2: Go through the starting cutscenes (Takes about 3-4 minutes for them)
- Step 3: Use player search and start being the annoying git that you are

The total time they need to recover from a deleted char is merely 5 minutes at most. With the suggestions above, we can make that well over 60 mins, which will severely slow down their progress.
