Square's new RMT solution. Will it work?

[Pluvia]

They need to pull a WoW and have it where new characters cannot use tell, shout, and yell until they are lvl 10, 15, or 20.
That would end it.

Wow doesn't have that you're thinking of the chat restrictions on trial accounts which FFXIV has.

It's not so much a solution as it is a counter measure. As a counter measure, it would help to alleviate some of the friend request spams. Although they also made it so you can skip the opening cutscene...is there a limit to how many characters you can create per day?

From how I'm reading it I think it means the cutscene that you can't skip when you start the game for the first time after installing.
