You Know What Really Needs to be Brought in From FFxi? [Suggestion]

[Mudcat]

Forget about HNMs, side-grade gear, or party zones. What we really need from FFxi is the ability to block junk tells from RMTs. Please make it happen.

Uh, we have that. If you need, make a macro. Though I personally don't macro it because it's so simple to type out. /blist add <r>

We had blacklist in FFxi as well, still received a spam filter.

A simple checkbox in the options which includes something like "Only receive tells from people on friendslist/FC/Linkshell" would solve problems with overflowing blacklists. It wouldn't have as much of an impact on completely eliminating RMT/gil sellers from the game, but it would at least resolve some headaches on the player side of things.

The problem with that suggestion is that it doesn't allow you to receive tells from people wishing to to join parties, Free Company, Link Shell, or friends list.

Okay, before I go any further I want to officially complain the forums mechanics here really suck Square. Please fix it!

I played FFXI up to the day of the last expansion I can tell you there was no such filter just less advertising but I still received random ones.

I, too, played FFxi for a really lengthy time. It's been a while now but there was an option to "Block /tells deemed as spam", which was followed by one to block shouts, and followed by RMTs working their way around it.
