I get many RMT ads and friend requests from people with names like dfg sdfdfa per hour. I was playing with busy status on but then I was frustrated that I couldn't receive legit tells. I've stopped even blacklisting people anymore. It takes an enormous amount of work and they're deleting the characters and making new ones right away now anyway. SE has to do more than they're doing. It's unrealistic to think that we can get other players to boycott gilsellers because it is socially frowned upon. Players who buy and sell gil need to face real consequences and SE should have a better anti-spam system in place (a whitelist, only so many tells per min, a level requirement on sending tells, better filters, account blacklisting, something, anything more than what there is now).

Edit: in the one min span of time it took me to type this, I received 2 gilseller tells...
