Thread: Tell restrictions implemented in 2.3 for rmt are not adequate

It's odd, you don't get any of these tells on Japan servers, extremely minimal if any. As I never get any one single tell, advertising gil selling. They must do a really good job on japan server, or japan players just don't buy gil lol. I hardly see any shouts advertising gil selling either in any major cities in Japan servers.

Never give power to the players. That's just begging for trouble on point 3. At least with point one you can restrict it, though RMT tells definitely slowed down lately on Balmung

Because as an american i hate to admit this but most of people dumb enough to buy gill are US players. so to many people are very lazy, without gill buyers there are no RMT. but sadly this will never go away, we'll have to deal with RMT so long as people do stupid things like buy gill.

I also thought they slowed down but i am back to seeing 3-5+ in a day it's pretty sad when 80% of your tells are spammers. in some perfect world i do wish they would go away but unless SE takes drastic measures much like roaches they can only squash them to reduce numbers but they will keep coming back.

My idea is to give a option to block tells from low level people of course this could be a problem when new players are trying to contact friends but if it's optional, maybe. but there is no huge way to fix this problem without hurting player base in the process. unless they find some way to block the location they come from.
