Motivate Square Enix to deal with bots & spammers ?

People don't seem to realize that they are actually doing stuff in the background, constantly adjusting filters etc and such to minimize the spam as much as realistically possible. It is completely impossible to eliminate it entirely, and people keep demanding some kind of quick fix when one does not exist (meaning, there is no quick fix, so quit asking for one).

Could have fooled me.

Could have fooled me.

I've seen a drastic difference between a few weeks ago and now. I was getting tells all the time and there was a bot in almost every zone flooding the chat with like a million messages per second. Now it is much reduced from that. It's still there, yes. It's impossible to eliminate it completely, especially without impacting on our ability to communicate with each other. I still see some tells and spammers, but not nearly as much as before.

So yeah, I guess they did fool you.
