Square Enix is doing even more to deal with real-money trading in Final Fantasy 14.
In a brand-new blog post (opens up in brand-new tab), the programmer shares that strategies remain in activity to raise staffing, upgrade devices, and also include brand-new treatments to avoid individuals from making real-life earnings in-game and also “provide our community with a safe and secure gaming experience”.
While Square Enix does give regular updates on the number of accounts have actually been prohibited – that number was 3,293 last week (opens up in brand-new tab) – the programmer confesses’s still observing “a certain level of RMT activity”, leading it to activity.
“We are aware of groups that engage in RMT, which we refer to as ‘RMT vendors,’ whose only goal is to make real-life profit,” the programmer claims. “These vendors do not care about adhering to the User Agreement and will often obstruct the gameplay of normal players to benefit themselves. Furthermore, RMT vendors very commonly engage in real-life criminal activity, such as the unauthorized access of accounts and the use of stolen credit card information.
“The bulk of products and also Gil offered via RMT were created as an outcome of such deceptive task. Purchasing from RMT suppliers advertises these deceptive tasks and also is restricted under the FINAL DREAM XIV User Agreement. Furthermore, as a pointer, doing so additionally causes advertising tasks regarded prohibited in real-life.”
Like most online games, Final Fantasy 14 has its fair share of people offering services for real-world money – account boosting, naughtier stuff, you get it. As anyone who has played an online game with a chat function can attest, advertisements for those services are somewhat unavoidable regardless of what you’re doing. Square Enix’s advice on that, for now, is to continue ignoring those messages and report them when you see them.
“We highly urge gamers to avoid involving with these teams, as there would certainly be no factor for RMT suppliers to exist if gamers do not utilize their solutions,” Square Enix claims.
