Spam tells ruining the game

[Dontee]

I was enjoying this game (aside from having to blacklist often), now my list is full and I am constantly spammed.

Any options other than the poor one of "/busy", essentially taking the MMO out of MMORPG...

Fix or I'm gone, sadly.

Turn you tell sound off if you want to and ignore it.

but then I miss FC chat, and chat tells from friends and/or people wanting to legitimately talk to me.... right?

i stopped using the tells window a long time ago

sometimes i wonder if a real person has actually tried to talk to me and that makes me a little sad, but whatever. when i was playing the game pretty frequently all the people i wanted to talk to were in my FC or Linkshells.

No reason why we can't have a /tell option window where we can check off to receive tells from people on our friends list and FC only. It really has gotten out of hand, I switched servers a week ago and my list is 3/4 full already.

Would you enjoy having to decline hundreds of friends requests per day by gil sellers? :P

Read this yesterday and got depressed it's true on Faerie too rmt tells are out of control. So I did something about it, I don't use the PM system except to reply to excessive rmt noise with death threats. So I clicked select or the touch pad on ps4 controller, created new chat tab called it spam, went to settings and directed all PM's to that tab, then went out and back in under General, and deselected Messages. Now All PM's including rmt spam go to a designated tab. It works no more rmt messages in my normal chat, i'd turn off notifications too but every notification makes me smile now i've taken the fangs and claws from my tormenters but left the bell. Do this everyone we don't need the PM system so do away with it for SE system by system. Why the tab? well it has to go somewhere.

Not if you just turn the notification sound off, you'll still get tells you just wont hear when they come.

Has someone suggested to have a filter option to throw spam tells into it automatically? I know some mmorpgs out there have them. That would be nice to see that added in FFXIV. The wall of text, the amount of hearts and stars and their professing to be our friends would be a good starter for the system to automatically land those annoying tells to the spam tab.

I think cracking down on the buyers is the solution. Permanent ban. Done. No buyers, no sellers.
