    The limitation on tells in duties is nothing to do with technical limitations and a deliberate design choice, because SE doesn't want players using it to harrass party members when things go wrong and then escape back to their home server without repercussions (it's why /tells were disabled in duties even before world visit/data centre travel was implemented, and that was the reason SE officially gave). They could implement if they wanted to though, they just won't.

    Yeah, blacklist doesn't exist. SE is like a helicopter parent that needs to save the FFXIV players from any kind of minor conflict that might send them into a panic attack

    Prevention is better than cure though.

    Not really when it comes at a cost and with such a weird reasoning

    Interesting, but at this point in the game they could be reported for it easily and it's easy to travel to their world and reply now.

    There's no reason not to allow tells from outside in Field Operations though. More of the chat operations could be made like FC and CWLS chats.

    To add on to this with some more information about it not being a technical limitation
    Tells in duties and dungeons do exist in the game, next time you queue for Delubrum Reginae and get in with a random party- find someone and send them a /tell
    You'll scare them every time because noone ever expects a tell inside there
