Regarding RMT and their new use of Friend Requests

[AttacKat]

Back to the same OLD suggestion ... disable TELL for low newly created characters and make it a GC quest given ability or something.

It will not remove everything, but it will get rid of all those sdswad tjwah BFF wannabes.

Yeah yeah, new players cannot talk, but heck, there is still SAY, YELL and SHOUT for real players.

Will cause more bots to run dungeons. Many of the spammers are compromised accounts anyway, most likely already having completed the required GC quest, if such a thing was added. The RMT can and will progress their spam accounts as far as it is necessary to be able to spam, that ability cannot be kept very far away from the beginning. Besides, SE doesn't want to cause more harm to players than it would cause for the RMT.

Make them work harder, is better then just giving them free rides with those hsde hyhbnwh BFF wannabe characters. Remember, they want they bots to be making money, not wasting time. If the game makes it hard for them to make money, then the profit sign goes dark.
