Square's new RMT solution. Will it work?

They need to pull a WoW and have it where new characters cannot use tell, shout, and yell until they are lvl 10, 15, or 20.
That would end it.

Wow doesn't have that you're thinking of the chat restrictions on trial accounts which FFXIV has.

It's not so much a solution as it is a counter measure. As a counter measure, it would help to alleviate some of the friend request spams. Although they also made it so you can skip the opening cutscene...is there a limit to how many characters you can create per day?

From how I'm reading it I think it means the cutscene that you can't skip when you start the game for the first time after installing.

I'll post this again WoW does not do this so don't spread false info. They have a trial account system just like here and that's whats blocked from sending tells.

Biggest difference between RMT here and in Wow is this. In wow they rarely wisp anymore but they instead spam trade chat and use their dead bodies to spell out their website. Since they don't have a trade chat in FFXIV they stick with PM and spamming friend requests.

Yea SE needs to make it easier to deal with them by having a report for spam function like wow and hell maybe find a way to filter them out that blizzard still hasn't figured out how to do.(people made addons to filter gold sellers)


TLDR: add a trade chat so they'll go spam in there or release addons so people can make a chat filter addon like they did in wow and a report for spam function.
