I'm mostly just curious on what people think of it and if SE is actually okay with this.

They're fine with it. I suspect SE would be fine with RMT, too, if it weren't for the fact that XIV's reputation would take a hit. They pretty much place bottom-line profit over in-game integrity and fairness, so until / unless people begin quitting en masse because of this blatant RMT (highly doubtful), nothing will be done.

Personally, I think it's a disgrace, and I think it's shameful that the EULA hasn't been amended to forbid the selling of runs for in-game currency, too. The behaviour completely violates the spirit in which games are supposed to be played, and does so in a way that harms other players (people buying runs = fewer people available who run the content the real way via the DF). But it's merely one item on a long list of things SE permits or outright encourages that I find disgraceful, so... *shrugs*

Only if it's sharing with a stranger, of course. Couples and such routinely hop onto each others' accounts for a variety of purposes; SE has no problem with that.

Actually no..it isn't. In legality terms - the Terms of Service is very clear.
SE enforcing it however.....you would be correct - that doens't mean they are not within their rights to drop the ax.

My point is - don't share your account - you do so at your own risk and peril.
Loved ones? Ok..but don't talk about it...don't broadcast it.

I have noticed some of the RMT advertisers in the game now include everything from selling Gil (standard) to items (iL350+) and also "more" which means Clearing content for real money.
