    I want confirmation that the STF is ACTUALLY receiving reports.

    They do not seem to be receiving them, I want confirmation numbers so that I can follow up with their lack of investigation.

    Funny enough, in their most recent report [1], they say:

    This could maybe be translated to something along the lines of "we have confirmed all the reports received from everyone" (may or may not be very accurate).

    I can't imagine them ever becoming more transparent about this process, but some sort of confirmation definitely would be nice. Perhaps a kind of a ticket system which automatically sends a mail simply saying the report has been processed when someone acts on it.

    Guess it would require one to log in on their SqEX account before reporting, since the EU support site is peculiarly the only one that asks for an e-mail address (maybe it was removed from the other sites but no one got to it on the EU side).

    Even outside of STF, there's no need for them to be so secretive.

    Take Overwatch, for example. If you report anyone, if any action is taken a pop up will appear randomly later when you log in to the game saying "someone you reported had action taken against their account.". It operates on a delay so you can't always be certain who got punished, but they tell you when reports result in actions. This doesn't violate anyone's privacy.

    Not sure why you hijacked someone else's thread to ask this, but dealing with such things is not a simple matter. I'm not aware of any private servers actually collecting subscription fees. But if they do, then they're making money off SE's work and that's a rpetty open and shut case.

    This really isn't the kind of channel to report this sort of thing though.

    Do you think that if they somehow managed to get the private servers shut down, those players would come back to the official servers?

    It's your server.

    It might depend on their specific motivation to play on an illicit server. If they were specifically doing it to avoid paying sub fees, probably not.

    Salutations!

    We appreciate everyone's concern regarding the reporting process to the Special Task Force. However, while we can confirm that the Special Task Force team reviews all records that are received, we are unable to disclose the results of any specific investigations that are handled. We can assure you, though, that all reports are received and handled accordingly.

    Given that this conversation seems to have run its course, the thread is being closed, but we do encourage everyone to continue to report suspicious activities, so we can continue to help make your experiences in Vana'diel as pleasant as possible!
