so much RMT!

[Jandor]

I don't really see much of it on Cerberus... don't know what to tell you guys unfortunately.

It comes and goes on Leviathan, sometimes its back to back (different companies though), but its not too bad. However I don't understand why they don't make it where only people on your friend's list can send you a tell. I mean a tell is also known as a whisper on many other MMOs and quite frankly the only people who whisper things in my ear are people I know...not random strangers.

Forget filters, maybe just throttle tells if you generate an unusual amount. If you are seconding 10 tells a second, maybe you aren't a real person. Maybe. Certainly not 100 tells in 10 seconds. And yeah, I get hit by the same character a lot. Every 10 minutes as they cycle through the WHOLE WORLD. Also maybe people pre-level 5 or pre-level 10 or 15 shouldn't be able to sends tells. Who knows.

But then I wouldn't be able to tell one of my jokes!

a Veteran player and a new adventurer walks into the Quicksand.

The veteran turns to the new player, and says "Greetings! welcome to Eorzea!"

The new player turns to the veteran, and whispers in /tell chat:
"Buy Gold! 1000k for 2$! go to iwanttohackyouraccount.com for details!"

I receive so many that my chat log is never in a position that doesn't have a gil seller tell advert in it, and I report and do blacklisting every single one. I feel defeated and abandoned by SE. I received 5 before I could even move my character one step as I logged in this morning.

We really need to have implemented the following tools:

• Auto report spam (command or right click action)
• Separate blacklist for spam with higher limit, automatically apply reported names to this list
• The ability for players to create their own /tell filters.
• Allow players the option to receive messages only from a white list

I always play with busy status on, because:

- My friends are all in the LS i have, already.
- Jsdddf Jwwwd has too much good offers to tell me about.
- It efficiently prevents me from being trolled by people opening the "trade menu" when you teleport from MD (yeah Moogle server is a place where people still do that).
- You get rid of the ready checks during the WOD.

Only pros and no cons. Most of the community being agressive / toxic on Moogle anyways i dont worry about the importance of the /tells i miss.

Yeah this is really getting crazy and out of hand. The spam just keeps getting worse and worse, though I can't remember if I even noticed it in FFXI.

XI didn't have as much as XIV does, however, SE did also put in a filter on XI that blocked mostly all the spam, and if people were using windower there was another filter on that. Between both of them, the RMT spam in XI was pretty much never heard. It something that they need to be doing now. Everyday I'm finding myself putting up busy mode because I've gotten tired of blocking them all and then 2 weeks later cleaning out my blacklist only to do it all over again.

[Quesse]

I would like to be able to make my own chat filters.

I'm sure I could do a better job of filtering this crap.
