RMTs killed Tell chat channel

[LatisFarsight]

First of all I know I only speak for my self , this post is addressed to the developers of this game. Seriously the game already been online for over 6 months now. why the spam of tells from RMTs isn't being addressed already?!! tbh it feels now its worst than before, I have completely removed tells from my general chat... thats how bad it gotten.

really why would you not put a limit on the number of tells anyone can send in 5 mins... or why would a new lvl 1 character is allowed to send me tells... or why don't i have an option to block all tells from non-friend list members...

there is so many solutions or at least to reduce the amount of spam, and yet I don't see any action is being taken... , this isn't my first MMO but in all many MMOs I played nothing comes as close as bad as when it comes to tell spamming...

P.S: sorry for the rant , logging on and getting 5 RMT tells before you character loads can get to ya...

Not even just that, but the reply function is inferior to ffxi's reply....how can this even be when SE could've just copy/pasted the format from ffxi?

As it is you can /r type out whatever, hit send, and get "unable...character is on your blacklist", due to these rmt tells.

Can SE give us the ability to cycle through last several people who sent us tells like ffxi has?

Feels like a Free to play game doesn't it? The amount of rmt spam you get and the terrible system of blocking them.

Instance dungeons killed /tell channel XP

Honestly been playing since launch and I don't get what the big deal is... I get 3 /tells top a day max, i just blocklist them and move along... Not saying it should stay but I won't disable /tell for it... I'd like to think that SE do their best to remove RMT, but the RMT is too "powerful"... But who knows... Maybe they need to try harder...

I have much bigger problem not being able to send /tells in many cases in game but that's a different thread XP

I'm pretty sure karma's going to come back to bite me in the scrotum, but I haven't recieved a tell in weeks.
As for blocking them, the blacklist works fine.

If people stopped buying gil, then the problem would end!!

Also this, (only if SE try their hardest to deal with RMT), if it's still common then all you can do is blame the players who feed them.

Best way to fix this is to limit number of tells that can be sent within period of time....
20 tells a min for example...
There just using bot program to sent 100s of tells at once. Everyone getting hit mult times also.

They will just have to use more alt bots to send more messages but its more of a hassle for them. Also if an alt is on rmt alert they shouldnt be allowed to create anymore characters on that account. Maybe even take it step further.

There also probably using character database on the server. They probably got list of 15-20k character names on a list and just auto sending tells down the list to players.

RMTs will go back to shout spams if there cut off from tell. So it is good example to also limit the shouts to 10 a min.

SE also needs to fix speed hacking & teleport hacking. Also SE should also see how many times XX enemy/location gets killed by XX player. Also by what order they are doing it. Eventally will find a pattern thats really long and its clear there using a claiming bot or gathering the same locations over and over using same actions over and over.

I wish they would at least stop sending me their tell after the first time. They don't even know the basic market rules! To pester potential customers with promos pushes them away after all <_< I know they'll never stop sending me tells, but if they would at least send them only once per character, it'd spare me from having to blacklist them and clean my black list every two weeks to make room.

One wish I have, is that when SE ban them they delete those chars then we would only have to clear out (deleted) from our black lists.
