/reply command needs improvement

Yeah, I realize how Alt +R works, and it's a good way to make sure you are sending the message to the correct person. I've adapted to using it most of the time, but I still have to shift through the RMT spammers, checking to make sure that each individual message is going to the same person that my previous 6 messages went to. But why is the extra effort on my part even necessary? I have already indicated to the chat system that I do not want to communicate with a person, yet I continue to see their name several times per minute.

I took a break from the game for a few weeks, and just returned this morning. After logging in, I started to chat with an old guildmate about their progress the last few weeks. During a ten minute conversation, I was encountering an error message almost every time I used /r. When I started using Alt+R to shift through the names, I found myself skipping past the same three RMT names each time, despite the fact we were having a fast paced conversation. It became so absurd that I started browsing the forums to see if the issue has been discussed before.

It's as if because people can get by, they're ok with it. Obviously, the proper use of alt+r is not the point of the thread. OP is right, this is stupid and should be fixed.
