so much RMT!

Hrm.... does 'Busy' filter out friend requests like it does trades/party requests? o_o If it does, then RMT friend reqs won't be a prob (but I'm not sure if it does...)

It does but gil sellers will be actively trying to get on people's friends list so they can get a message out to all the people who are frequently keeping /busy on. Besides, this is going to end up with half if not more of the game's population always keeping busy up which is a little silly really now that I think about it but it'll be more incentive for gil sellers to try to get in FCs and on friends lists to increase their advertisement potential.

Point is, they will just become more annoying in other ways.

Now if you look at other methods such as filters to let you restrict people under a certain level from messaging / friending you well that would just increase BOT activity and there is nothing more immersion breaking for me than seeing a swarm of bots... I had a damn bot tanking my tam-tara dungeon once so what the hell?

It i s incredibly silly for server populations to require having busy symbols up just to play. I guess we should 'look forward to it' - seeing busy symbols -everywhere-. Kinda breaks immersion and will look silly/cluttered though.
I'm not sure getting their bots into FCs/friend lists would cause a prob - if everyone had the BUsy symbol, they wouldn't get the RMT tell even if they were. If the bot sent an RMT to someone/everyone in the FC, they will more than likely be reported by the FC and kicked.
Theorizing, though x.x
