Square's new RMT solution. Will it work?

[Blood-Aki]

No, FR are hardly a problem, from what i'm seeing, it's the characers being made, able to send tells nonestop untill they delete or get banned (which takes weeks) that is the problem. i don't think this will even make a dent, much like the current method. you'll annoy some of them, sure. but we'll still have the same problem.

The best solution i think is an anon system, we should be allowed or mask our search if we wanted. This would stop a lot of tells.

Or you could make being a certain level able to send tells, Unless anyone can explain a good reason why we need to allow a level 1 sending tells to everyone on the server, all day.

MMOs are a social game, and limiting tells of new characters limits the ability of genuinely new players to interact. Some game companies judge it to be a worthwhile measure anyways, some don't.

Of course, it would be nice if SE had some way to detect that a character was spamming a bunch of people... but they haven't even been able to give us a right click > report RMT button yet, so...

I had 2 people i suggested to the game quit shortly after because they were utterly annoyed at the constant tell spams they were getting while trying to enjoy the game, they will target you the moment you even create your character, after 1st CSs depending on the server you're on, tell bombs. i hardly think anyone can peacefully socalize of any sort dealing with tell spams, when they are new to the game.

But my point was i hardly doubt anyone would make a new character, sit at level one for a prolonged period of time, and just randomly send tells to everyone. hell level 2 takes maybe 5 minutes at the most it's a clear sign who the spammers are.

I would agree if this hasn't been a constant issue that has plagued MMO's since its inception. It just comes with the territory. There's little to nothing that we can actually do to circumvent it that doesn't impede on the freedoms of actual players. Being too forceful and invasive will just do more damage than help.
