Gil Spammers

[Giralus]

There should be options to block tells from level ranges 1-10. 11-20. 21-30, 31-40. 41-49 . And level 50.
Should be an option to also block friend requests from all of the above level and ranges .
Should also be options to not be able to receive tells from anyone not on friends list. not in the same free company or from linkshells you are on.
And also not be able to receive friend invites from people not in your free company or linkshells
In 8 months I have gotten 4 random tells from actual players . And they could have just used /say to talk to me

Once again shows I am not used to forums! I need to be up to the loop that I check them daily lol.
Anyway I agree Aeolus, I am atm on 97/200 in Blacklist and none show deleted so can't remove any. I'd say NO limit on B-list till SE got rid of the whole gil spamming problem. Cause if your B-list is full can no longer stop the spam :/

@Giralus: That too, I asked for that then got told it is no use cause they can p-lvl their char to lv 50 and still be able to spam out whispers, recently that the spammers also send a friend request just to block the BL options really should poke SE to give us an option to work with. Cause it is getting REALLY annoying, gold spammers is the reason I quit so many free to play games. Paying for a game I expect to be able to get rid of such annoyances like gil spammers.

i have seen it work in other MMO's ,and people in other threads have stated the same thing about other mmo's they play that have similar tools to block spam,

yeah they can Power lvl to 50 , yeah they can keep trying to work around any safeguard that gets put in place, but eventually when there are numerous ways to block them and they have to spend far to much effort for to little a gain , they leave to an easier games to Spam in.

Time = Money ,, if they have to spent 100 % of their time counter acting all the blocks in place for a very small return in money its simple business,, they go to a game that is much easier to spam in and make money fast...

the Biggest problem is FFXIV is the easiest game to RMT spam in that i have ever played . there are no tools for the paying customers. / busy and a blacklist with 200 people is all you get ?? that's insulting

Oh wow got absorbed in the game and RL... Well the gil spammers still go at it. I am not sure SE will ever fully stop them. Though found a way to at least lessen the burden. Make your own tab (can make one own chat tab) and call it whatever you wish for tells. Go into options for chat and enable tell in it. Apply then go to General tab, open options and disable the square that says Tell. Now all tells go just to that one tab you created for it, turn off tell sound and you can check tell at your own leisure if friends sent a tell. And the spams stop flooding general.

They just need a setting for only getting tells from friends.

best yet, include a right click report spam like all other games. it'sonly being request more times than new content or level increases. Yoshi knows this, what's being done about? if players are valued members of the community, this is a good way to start showing how much we're valued. /end rant
