Thread: RMT 3.1 Nice!

A smarter design would be multi choice options..

"do not receive tells"
"do not receive tells from anyone but friends"


"do not receive friend requests"
"do not receive friend requests from anyone besides friends of friends"


This right here stops it 100%.


Alternativly, disabling tells from any1 under level 10 or so helps a lil.


I dont see this friend thing really impacting too much, helps yea, but barely

I really wish they would set that limit to 7 people instead of just 5. If I've been in a FATE party or a hunt party or run with a really great group from party finder, I'd like to be able to add the whole party to my friend list to run with later.

Otherwise, I love this.

It would stop it for those players willing to give up interaction in order to block it. Just as /busy already stops it for those same players. You can also already turn off /tell if you want. The RMT spam problem is mainly an issue for people who DON'T WANT to block that interaction. We want the spammers themselves to be stopped, so that we don't have to block interactions with regular players.

This Friend request change addresses only the tiniest bit of the problem, since Friend requests quit being a major part of RMT spam after Free Trial accounts were barred from sending them several months ago. I did see someone greifing Friend requests a few days ago, though (no RMT content, but just repeatedly sending and cancelling a request), so the change will help with that sort of thing. It's a good change overall, but not a very significant one, as it only addresses a relatively rare bit of the problem.

Absolutely this. Why can't we have this and be done with it?

Filter options to not receive tells, to only receive tells from friends, to only receive tells from players over level X. Additionally the aforementioned friend request filter options. Far better than anything that's been done so far. Really want this.

lol, wut?****

I guess the RMT differ from server to server. Personally I have not had any RMT /tell or friend requests in days, weeks even. Well, to be honest, I got a /tell 2day, but other than that.
