(Just been notified this is currently disabled rn but before you make it a thing again...)
So since this was implemented, identifying new players has never been easier. However, someone made the decision to reward players with Regals if they welcomed said user. This has resulted in a large amount of spam.
The intention for the feature was so that recruiting factions could easily spot and message new players and offer them a helping hand in a strange place.
Instead people are spamming for the money.
Move the "New user has joined" Message into Recruitment chat and make R: the default place new users can talk. People need to be subscribed to R: Chat to see if a new user has joined and there should be NO REWARD system for saying welcome or messaging them. I want the people who message them to be genuinely interested in increasing their faction's player count and helping new people.
Massive has had other methods of supporting it's members financially in the past, come up with something else.
