Existence is reasonable, let's make things better

They should just implement some sort of filter where we can add our words to the filter and if that word is used by the gold sellers, then their tell won't come through.

And if your friends use certain words on your filter? Might as well just put in the entire alphabet and call it a day.

I lost faith in SE managing to get rid of these scumbags.

I shut off /tells no need to type busy anymore.
Another thing I don't think they will get rid of them. I'll give you some examples from when I played FFXI before they even put the filter in.

I remember Gil sellers coming in packs, if you seen one or one hacking, the GM would always say "well I have to see it" You ask them record video or picture "no because it can be altered" so no way to catch them like this.
Special task force I remember when this was put into FFXI, then I found it funny they always mentioned their reports you know the ones where they say they banned 5,000 RMT, though when you log on the very same ones are still there.

Each month I would see these reports and same RMT still playing, for Bismarck is was Cherrys in sky, Jerrys camping oztroja and redapples archer rings.

Jerrys used invisible teleporting hacks, cherrys bot claiming gods, redapples bot claiming also, though they played for years before they were banned I believe up until they made the NM's items into rare/ex.
then I seen them vanish, I found it funny though when normal players started to find bugs in the game they were banned.

I believe two found out how to get up on top of stuff or another figured out that nyzule 100 floor dungeon was duped items.
Though when a RMT figured out that bug where they were getting millions of gil from the bet guy from sandoria they just fixed the bug I didnt hear about no banning.

That's why I don't believe it sometimes cause the ones you see hacking sometimes never vanish for a long time and you wonder why he isn't gone.

Its just best you shut off /tells no use for it anymore and people say they just ignore it, I can't it fills my box up spams over what I am reading with gibberish and that's why I shut them off for good.

Oh and I am not critisizing anyone I just don't believe it sometimes.

It is kinda bad on Cactuar.

It's funny, because there's an (unnamed for obvious reasons) 3rd party app out there that lets you set custom filters that stop ALL RMT tells without using a single slot on your blacklist.

Oh, but 3rd party tools are against the ToS, so you have to just suffer through them or else you'll have people trying to report you for blocking gil sellers.

I had one where the bot was like "Have a great day and may all your dreams come true!".

I'm sitting there like, "Man, if you weren't a bot I'd party with you", so I proceeded to joke about it with my FC saying "But if you block all the bots, how would you get encouraging messages like that?! Needless to say, I actually cleared my Black List about a month or 2 ago (yep, all 200 names) and have since only added 3, which I just deleted. My new system is if the same name gets me 3 times, they get added. Or instantly if I'm having a bad day. I understand that these bots need to make a living, but come on now. Give us an option to remove our name from the player search and that will go away over night.

You know, once I copied the message the bot sent to me then sent it back and sent him a party invite. I did that a bit and decided to stop unless a bot got cheeky and reported me lol. No way I'm getting punched in the mouth because of a bot.

Just need to have an option to "Only accept /tell from party, alliance, fc, ls, friendlist members", it might be anti social to total strangers but oh well.

My problem with this solution is that they will send you friends requests like 50 times a day instead =/ it's much more annoying receiving their friends requests.

That's why SE should give us a Option to turn off friend invites, when we want a friend invite we can turn it back on then turn it back off.
