Petition: RMT tell blocking options for players

[Anneliese]

/busy blocks tells from new players. it's not anywhere close to a ridiculous suggestion. it just makes it so instead of using /busy to block ALL tells, they use a feature to block some tells.

Ok we all agree RMT Tells are horrific in number these days, I think this is the 100th post I've seen about it.

But please stop with these ridiculous suggestions. Blocking tells is a terrible solution and blocking friend requests doesn't even make sense. Blocking tells from new players? You were new once and wouldn't want all your tells/say/shouts be blocked. I know I wouldn't have.

This is exactly the reason since I have also seen around 200 posts about this, but SE has NOT given a proper response regarding this issue. They haven't commented it at all. This is the exact purpose of this post to put an end to this once and for all. That's why I asked people to like this post and show their support to this cause to end the endless discussion and speculation revolving around this and actually receive a proper response from SE what are THEY going to do about this or what they have planned to do, except ban the accounts that buy / sell gil. We all know that, but it's not actually solving the problem itself.

As the next person already quoted:

/busy blocks tells from new players. it's not anywhere close to a ridiculous suggestion. it just makes it so instead of using /busy to block ALL tells, they use a feature to block some tells.

It is the exact same thing that if you are forced to use /busy to block out all the tells, it's a bigger bad than actually having an optional setting for it because that also blocks new players from asking for help. I have never been asked for help in tells anyways so I don't think it's that common. Usually people just go and invite new players to linkshells and FC's to get more people in and from there they get the help they need or then surf the interwebs for advice.

I know I have been a new player too, but I hardly ever asked any help from anyone regarding anything with this game, possibly because I'm a veteran gamer and I know my ways around alone. Maybe when I joined a linkshell I might have asked the LS about some things, but I never went around shouting for help or asking in say. These message blocking utilities are supposed to be optional. What I'm merely asking is SE's own opinion on the blocking messages thing. With smart filters where you can input words for messages you don't wish to see, like .com or <insert random RMT company here>. Anything, we just want a response on this issue.
