The #1 Question Asked For The Letter From The Producer:

[Mugiawara]

Lol cancelling your pre-order because of tell spam? Do you blist and report each one? I only get maybe one tell a day on Balmung, when i do /blist add <ctrL+R>.

Balmung is near 24/7 lock-down but there must've been short period of time where the window was open.
The Gil sellers are getting worse, one even Friend Requested me yesterday and about 6 tells throught-out the day.
2 within an hour and one of them just now as I type this.
Using Balmung as an example of "I rarely get a tell" is bad because of what I said above, and any other that's near lock-down.
Believe it or not, other servers are ran rampant of RMT's, we just don't see. It actually does ruin peoples experience and many have
left because of it. People shouldn't have to play RMT police, report, blacklist be full to the brim, remove /tells and do
100 other things to enjoy the game. For every one we report, 600 million just back en masses.
I still have the same folks for months on my end. It was worse when I was on Leviathan.
