Report an RMT directly from Chat Log

[Avenger]

They are doing something about it! And you screaming any different isn't HELPPING. I'm offering a possible solution! You're just screaming "SQUARE-ENIX! DO MORE!"

Since the current approach is not working and the problem seems to be getting worse, I agree that the Report&Blacklist button is a band-aid which would at least speed up the apparently ineffective and futile process of RMT spam reporting in FFXIV.

While they are at it they could also accelerate the apparently pointless process of re-reporting botters who have been there for months.

Restricting /tell has the obvious downside of making it harder for new players to communicate. Besides that, I expect the main effect it would have would be that spambots would bot for 10 hours (or up to level 10 or whatever the requirement is) before converting to spam mode.

Spammers might end up having to make their assembly line longer, but you can bet that they will still manufacture the same number of new spambots per hour.
