Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

Saseal I mostly deal in manual stuff autmoation is nice but when you are looking for bugs nothing beats getting your hands dirty,

back to the topic at hand, any implementation that relies on level will only cause a brief window where there are no or little gil seller tells/friend request. think of it like this you build a dam on a river, so you can plant a garden perhaps some potatoes maybe a few radishes. Problem is you haven't stopped the river flowing all you've done is raise the bar for entry, once the water on the other side of the dam reaches over the top of it you have a flooded garden and there go your radishes. The point is that all it would cause is a short delay before you and everyone else was flooded with tells again. Furthermore you might say that you would get a break when the latest round of automated bans went out, unlikely as the gil sellers aren't stupid and would likely stagger the tells so as to have a near constant stream of ads directed at you.

Like many have said before this is a complex problem that mmos have been dealing with for at least a decade now.
