We should not need to disable BASIC functions (yes /tell is a basic and very useful feature) of the game to deal with a problem that shouldn't even be ours to deal with.

The only games i've seen with RMT/bots being a major problem is where the developers are neglecting the game or letting it die, other big titles i've played don't have this issue or they've dealt with it already. FFXIV is a big title game in the MMO industry, i can't understand how this problem has been up for so long...
I think you may be misconstruing "Here's a way to make things tolerable," with "Meh, deal with it." Everyone agrees it's a problem that the devs seriously need to address. Yes it sucks and we shouldn't have to deal with it, but at the current moment in time we have to work with what's available.
