You do not receive SPAM in-game while trying to play and communicate. Gold sellers are reduced to sending in-game mails which are also usually blocked.

So... No... SE hasn't really done anything. It's very disappointing for a game of this size.

^^ this. I've played nearly every MMO that has launched. I can tell you that this game is hands down...far and away the worst for RMT spam. There is NO defending this development team for this one issue. (and I love Square Enix, otherwise). I have seen it cripple new player development first hand. Not good.
