    I finally did it... disabled tells with busy status. RMT unbearably bad.

    Just as the title says, I finally had to set my status to busy to block out the endless tell-spam from gilsellers. This sucks as I can't see ready checks, can't get tells from people wanting to join my FC, or get tells for any other reason. I play this game a lot, like a lot, a lot. And I can say with 100% certainty that RMT spam has not gotten any better. In fact, it's gotten several magnitudes worse. I think something has to be done about it and like yesterday. I have some suggestions. I know they're not new ideas but I was hoping if any of these get enough support, SE might do a bit more than they're currently doing.

    1) Give us a click to report option.
    2) Don't allow the sending of tells until someone is at least X level (probably 15 or so)
    3) Let us blacklist more people.
    4) Give us a quick option to clear our blacklists.
    5) Give us more settings about what tells we'd like to block (tells from strangers, tells from people not on friend list, not in FC, not in LS, etc.)
    6) Don't allow the sending of many tells within short time frames.

    Of these, I think 1-4 are the weakest but at least they'd be something. I believe 5 and 6 would be particularly helpful. I still couldn't get tells from people wanting to join my FC, asking me questions about PF groups I have up, etc. But at least it's not as heavy handed as shutting out tells completely.

    Whatever the route SE takes, I think it's obvious that something more has to be done.

    I played EVE online for a few years. One of the best features for dealing with RMT:

    Right click, report RMT. Removes all messages of that player from your chat log and you don't see any more messages from them, but the block is separate from the blacklist so it doesn't fill that up either.

    Can we get something like this in XIV?

    I wish we could do it like that. They want us to report it but for something as common as rmt, right click report should be the best option. Let it fill out the needed info for us, to include the message sent, and then clear it from the log, this would make so many people happy

    I don't understand why se can't do the report rmt right click in this game since in ffxi also a se game has it. I wonder why they haven't implemented this in this game.

    Hi Risvertasashi,
    Thank you for mentioning this. Last July, CCP Games made the news in CIO Magazine,
    by unleashing Unholy Rage
    on over 6200 paying bot accounts.

    ...the mass purge of these accounts drastically freed up CPU resources for the game's legitimate players,...

    I simply love getting 2 tells in a row. I also love how they are trying to be clever with their wording using stupid as **** catch phrases like "love begets love" in order to get our attention and keep it in our 'memory' so we always remember what they are saying to us. It's advertising 101. But when I remember their catch phrases I only get irritated and want them to p*** off. Yeah I'm getting BEYOND tired of them. I have had to go without /busy for awhile because I need the tells to talk to people currently cuz I'm trying to network for end-gamers.

    Busy status goes away too easily, I'm pretty sure changing zones takes it off.

    I just have tells filtered out in chat log.
