Filter settings for Friend requests/Tells to combat Gil sellers

[LucaCres]

I bring this suggestion after chatting on the loadstone.

Implement some sort of in-game filter checklist of who can send /tells, friend requests and party invites to help combat mainly Gil sellers. because as we can plainly see blacklisting and reporting is not working so well anymore

so we can select who we want to send us stuff like that like:
Anyone?
Friends?
Friends of friends?
No-one?
Party members?
Free company?
Linkshells?
(similar to how we filter out the chat log)

Just tick the ones you want and away you go, no more pesky Gil sellers ruining your day

Been suggested countless times, SE doesn't listen and doesn't care, it seems.

Right now on Faerie armies of RMT are setting up camp preparing for 3.0. New players are going to be besieged by spam from the get go, not to mention vets. That could drive many players away! SE better start caring. They have a great game that is being ruined by RMT jerks. They need to do away with the blacklist except for real players who are being toxic. They need a new one that reports spam, and as you suggested filters. I know they could create a script that would pretty much report exactly what a RMT is doing, and detect any 3rd party software they are using as well, when ever anyone uses a "report spam" function. SE should maybe talk to Trion games who has created some pretty good software that prevents RMTs getting a foot hold or gets rid of them all together for Rift and now Arche Age. I use to get a lot of spam when the later came out, but none for the last few months. SE better start really caring, banning them here and there will never work.
