So, in the past 2 hours I have gotten 72 tells from the same person, asking if I wanted to sell my gil to goldyeah.com...Has this happened to anyone else?

I haven't blacklisted him yet because I want to see just how long it's going to go on XD

5 tells from the same person or different people? They're still coming as I type this, and I get gil tells trying to SELL me gil at the same time from other people XD

Just waiting for the price on gil to drop, so I can buy it for 32/mil and sell it for 34/mil :X

I don't find gil tells particularly annoying, except when I send a mt to them because they sent me an advertisement when I'm having a conversation with someone :P

By the way the current total is 107 tells over 3 hours

I had heard chatmon can block them, and people in my LS say it does work, just it would require me looking up how to turn off the "You are being talked about" part of it. Since I don't mind the gil tells all that much, I'd rather not put in the effort :P

Last night a guy in my LS started getting /tells from some gil seller, he told him to leave him alone and the person started spamming him with /tells. He ended up blacklisting him, but I think it's getting ridiculous and SE needs to do something about it. 8(

After using the latest version of Chatmon two months ago I haven't had a single RMT tell. I would unload chatmon and be spammed with tells, so it does work great. And when new rmt tells come out its automatically updated so you don't have to edit anything. And those annoying voices i disabled, its quite easy actually.

Has anyone else looked at this and wondered what would happen if an RMT wanting to buy gil sent a tell to an RMT wanting to sell gil?

I hate when RMT send me tells, makes me think someone actually wants to talk to me :( I get all excited then realize, *** only a RMT.

seriously tho, I blist rmts often before they even sent me a tell. Half of my blist is RMT... I really hate tho when you blist someone then the next person has a similar name I'm always like, wtf i blisted that person.

Tbh I agree 14 day free trial download online is stupid considering if you actually go get a copy of the game itself you get a 30 day free trial anyway. The game ranges from 9-15 bucks, give me a break. It's not that expensive if someone really wants to test it out then just buy the game lol test it, if you don't like it toss it. It's only 9-15 dollars anyone can get their hands on that tbh

Well, it lasted from 8 AM to 5 PM, that's 9 hours of gil tells from the same person.

As you can see, this is just the beginning of the onslaught, and I lost count after 5 hours or so with 200+ tells :P

I usually respond with something along the lines of
"glich es spriegel von Bughrt?

and then send it another two dozen times just to get the message across

I had the same problem. Just update your ChatMon and it should work just fine.

I get /tells all the time from brogames or something trying to sell gil. On avg i get 2 an hr. What sucks is there english and grammer is worse than mine, and thats saying alot lol. I just do like i do with phone salesman and ask if they have mail order brides. Supprisingly, i have yet to find any. Never have once got a /t from anyone wanting to buy gil. Calling a GM on them does nothing. Just get the usual answer of "We are working on the situation and we are sorry for the inconvience". I was also under the impression that the 14 day free trial had there own server for them. If they dont they should, lol.

Happened to me this morning as well. Really annoying names like "Yfhfoghgodhabugod" that took twenty minutes to blacklist, by which point you've received another six tells. I was getting them every thirty seconds nearly from the same player.

Hope they do something about this. Once every hour is bad enough, but every thirty seconds?
