No. I am not kidding. I used to get tells and friend requests all the time like everyone else. But once I finally took upon myself to report all of the RMT who sent me friend requests and tells for long enough, they stopped trying to do these things. In fact, on my server, I think we have whistleblown so many RMT, that they only way they do business now is by standing in plain sight at the Aetheryte Plazas and just use /Say, because my friends have also noticed that they also are no longer getting tells and friend requests from RMT.

So yeah, when SE says they are dealing with the RMT, they actually are serious. Because if you whistleblow enough, oh the silence you will enjoy!
