FF14 is a superior game in almost every aspect, but during the same time period on WoW I'd receive only a couple RMT spam messages...
On Moggle I get maybe about one or two a day. If you don't blacklist them they will send you more. I cleared my list out the other day. Just do it often as the accounts will get banned swiftly anyway.

I believe this is why their system is effective at limiting spam.
WoW has a global city chat called trade so they can spam that to reach the maximum amount of people so they don't need individual contact whereas we don't have such a channel. It would be nice if there was a report and blacklist feature.
