C'est ridicule, s'il n'y avait pas d'acheteurs il n'y aurait pas non plus des vendeurs et inversément. Si il y a demande il y a offre, c'est aussi simple que cela, interdit ou pas.

Les interdits n'ont jamais été un obstacle aux marchés parallèles. C'est une règle immuable, partout et depuis toujours. Les jeux en lignes n'y font pas exceptions.

C'est un combat perdu d'avance, les acheteurs sont aussi, si pas plus coupable que les vendeurs, il ne faut oublier que dans une transaction commerciale il y a deux parties toujours impliquées. Cette chasse aux sorcières ne sert rien, à moins que des dénonciations pénales ne soient engagées, mais ça c'est pas envisageable et surtout pas utile.

Les acheteurs contrôlez-vous et il n'y aura plus de vendeurs..c'est pourtant simple non?

Let's say I go to GameStop, Pickup a copy of FFXIV. I get on, I don't know anyone who plays. With your restrictions in place. If I got lost, Died, or couldn't find out how to progress I wouldn't be able to get help. Unless someone ran over my dead body, Or I would have to run around a zone trying to find people just so I could talk to them in /s

If this happens to someone in this game with the giant maps with the markers and the giant arrows that point you in the direction of everything you need to do. If this situation EVER happens to someone (especially before 15) they have bigger issues they need to tend to.

You mean people don't use food, level secondary jobs completely naked, aren't leveling crafts or spirit bind on your server?
Your marketboards are completely devoid of any item and there's not a single sould spending gil?

Must be tough...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't each zones map darkened out until you explore? Pretty sure it is cause you get EXP for mapping zones. So yes a new player could get lost and further down in that post I gave an example.

sure, but the directions given to you in quest clearly state which area you need to go to, plus what direction you need to travel, PLUS the minimap icon still points in the direction you need to go. ive never once seen anyone shout for help on a quest. The only thing people would need help for is finding their hunting log marks.

OP's suggestion is similar to what WoW did. It was slightly (very slightly and on rare occasions) annoying, but it absolutely cut down on the gold spammers. WoW's spammer situation went from what FFXIV was like on launch (whisper every 10 seconds, shout chat unreadable) to maybe one whisper from a spammer every month.

Ban anyone that talks about sllling gil through /tell. Even if its some legit players trolling. ban them as well.

hopefully soon everyone without a one time password gets their account stolen so the rest of us wont have to deal with them having their accounts turned into spam bots. Seriously people, its free on your cell phone.
