Give us an option to stop low level characters from sending us /TELL

What isn't the case?


<edit>

Oh, I see. I meant having their accounts hacked.
I can see why that would be confusing.

Sorry, i should have clarified, it's late and i'm sleepy, please forgive me!

It's cool, I didn't actually write the word hacked at all in my original post, it's early and I'm sleepy

Gotta say, one of the worst ideas ive seen in a while.


There are enough elitist d-bags out there as it is. I would rather receive the random /t from an RMT than turn a blind eye to a new player asking for help.

I doubt it'll increase the amount of players getting their accounts attacked, unless it somehow increases the number of people out there that are foolish and reckless with their account information.

What sort of community would a feature like this create? An elitist one that discriminates against low level players. Not everyone under level 50 is RMT. All you have to is right click and block someone. It takes less than a second.

You sir, are making a great point.

The main purpose of this thread I feel is to block RMT spam and general spam altogether.

We currently have two options.
#1 Block as many RMT spammers as we can until BL fills up. Then suffer.
#2 Change chat setting and do not display /TELL whatsoever.

A method a friend and myself have adapted is to simply chat via Linkshell.
We've got enough linkshells to have a dedicated personal chatroom, and simply turn off everything we don't want. Shame about legitimate /TELLs get filtered.

This is one of my main issues with FFXIV:ARR and would love some solution to it.

~Don't stop people who aren't friends from messaging, this is insanely useful to Free Companies.

The OP doesn't care about such players, he's happy in his own little world with his elite friends.

@OP: turn off /tells and use FC/LS chat since I expect your circle of friends is pretty small and all will be in one or other such groupings.

I had a idea how to stop the /tell- they should give us a option that we can click on/off

On option, Free Company, Linkshell and people on friends list can send /tells.

Off option, it would be as it was before where you can get tells from anyone.

Either that bring over the filter from final fantasy 11 also there is already a option to shut off tells in general but that can be a problem when you cant see people you know send a tell which is why the On option would be nice.

Do you honestly think having it vs. not having it will make any difference in how many low level players the OP will talk to? I highly doubt it.
