Request for clarification from the GM team

http://puu.sh/z6406/cff3554762.jpg

Are Party Finder entries like this considered sufficient evidence to report for RMT activity?

I'm obviously no GM but I'm not sure it could be as it doesn't mention if it's being sold for gil or if it's being sold for real money. as far as I'm aware, there's not anything in the ToS preventing someone from asking you to pay x amount of gil for a raid clear.

Gil cannot be transferred across servers.

But, yeah, they're smart enough to not give real money prices in game, and we already know GM policy is to not accept evidence that is not within the game. That's why I'd like official clarification.

Especially when they demand discord only communication.

Of course it isn't. If you have to interpret or assume money is changing hands, it's not exactly hard evidence.

I wish it was but since GMs (and by extension SE) can get some seriously bad PR from banning players without basically catching them red-handed, I don't think it counts. I mean if you're making a cross-world PF to advertise and demand the deal (and price disclosure) to be made through a 3rd party service that's very damning circumstantial evidence. But they need actual proof to ban.

no that's not enough evidence. selling content for gil is not a violation of ToS. if they are selling content for real world money you'd need way more evidence and it would have been from in game evidence. anything happening in discord and the like cannot be used for proof.

Cross-server advertisements without price disclosures in them USUALLY aren't looking for payment in gil. But you can't tell if it's actually against ToS or someone just not knowing how things work. Which is why they can't really be acted on by GMs.

Any suspicious activity is enough of a reason to report someone. As long as you do it in good faith then you'll never be reprimanded for it. Once reported the GMs can track and review the person's behavior and determine if a ban is appropriate. it's really not up to players to decide if something is ban worthy.

The poster above has it right. I'm sure the GMs can look into that player's actions in-game and take note of any odd cross-server join ups following that post. If that person is playing it safe enough, there may not be enough incriminating evidence, but you never know. If you feel their actions are a little too suspicious, it's not a bad idea to report. If action is taken, they wouldn't be able to tell you anyway.
