I don't understand what happened. This game was pretty decent at launch compared to other MMOs and RMT spam, but ever since I came back a few months ago its just the worst.

I checked my chat log earlier to confirm it, and I was literally getting 1 or more spam tells every single minute for 40 minutes straight. Every. Single. Minute. I had to set myself to busy. There's also a shouter in Limsa on my server that has been there for god knows how long. What is going on with SE and this? What changed?
