    Hi,
    RMT / Tell-chat Spam is brutal and persistent on Adamantoise regardless of the victim's location. At least 2 of the big RMT companies send repeated friend requests. There is no way to decline and run the blacklist macro fast enough to circumvent their follow-on friend requests. They continue this for at least 10 minutes, and the only recourse is to wait it out.

    At least 3 of the big RMT companies detect user logins and commence the spam within about 15 to 45 seconds of character appearance. They probably intercept the data-stream packets using their 3rd party softwares, then use bots to commence the spamming upon detection of a user's login.

    I, and fellow FC members, receive about 15 or so spams per login. I have to spend considerable time purging the blacklist. I report every incident, hoping that something will be done to mitigate this.
