subs = live GM's?

would love to know if we'll be getting live GM's to come when called about RMT parties.

i've been mining at nophicas wells for the last 2 hours and the same rmt party is still there now and was there when i got there.

placed a GM call and they said to report to special task force.

god i hope we get real GM's that come when called to deal with these idiots.

its pretty poor that a party has been there 2 hours + and even with a GM call still going at it....

May I ask how you know it's RMT?

RMT are handled by the STF, not GMs (GM will just redirect you there or forward your report to the STF).

So the answer is no, you won't have any "Live GM" for RMT related matters. Unless SE policy regarding support change. (which I really doubt).

Report to the correct place and you might actually see nothing happen about it.

we can tell if a party is RMT because of 2 simple giveaways

all characters have similar names that make little sence
all characters use weathered gear (even at higher ranks)

Weathered gear is the bomb, i used it on my Pug when I got PL'd to 50 lolz. (though i bought gear after XD)

That's not enough to be 100% (!= 99%) sure that they are RMT.

okay fine, there was 1 member going off and doing the leves leaving the remainder of the party at the node.

this is enough for the non participating members to gain the gill reward.

when you see an rmt party you just know its rmt.

doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out.

there is NO excuse for RMT in this game. i just pray that when subs come in most will bugger off

I'm pretty sure anyone can guess who is a RMT or not, but... Until they actually perform the action of RMT there are no grounds for SE to ban them in any way, even if it is a preemptive measure.

For the moment they are hoarding gil, but they are not breaking any ToS.

I have noticed the same setup at Cedarwood practically every time I pass there. A full party all with names like Jujdhf Ikjfdgh; 7 stood around the node in weathered gear doing nothing and one member completing the leve over and over again. I watched them for a little while not too long ago and they were spamming Quickstride/Chainspell at the start of every leve (timed them and it was every 90 or so seconds). As the cooldown on Chainspell is 5 minutes and Quickstride around three, not entirely sure how they're able to do this. If people want to have 7 alts or w/e then that's their prerogative but if they are abusing game mechanics somehow that's another story and should definitely be banned from game, imho.

This. And that's why GM don't do anything, because they don't have any info. It's STF job to track RMT activity as a whole, see where gil are going, correlate IP addresses, detect the use of possible third party tools, etc.

wuold like to see GM's with the power to place temporary bans and pass names into the STF.

and thier not just hoarding gill, before ifrit and darkhold gear i saw pleanty of new players running around with a L10 conjurer and wearing harlequins acton, some where geniune but i checked out some and they ONLY had a L10 acton.

so RMT's are selling gill for real money. theres nothing innocent about it, nothing clever, and nothing harmless.

RMT's are a plague in MMO's and quite honestly SE should be doing everything in thier power to stop RMT's now while they have the chance.

Hmmm. I wonder who is fool enough to buy Gil for FFXIV.

I can understand FFXI, but XIV? ...

No one yet I guess, RMT are just stocking up gil while it is possible now, hopping that it will have some value in the future with 2.0 etc.

I guess you havent heard GMs use weathered gear as well, they must be RMT.

Also GMs are there for support not RMT and bots, I agree we need an ingame option to report to the STF, hopefully we will see it soon, we do need it especially for those that play in fullscreen, and have to write the details down then log out to report.

people are already buying gill for XIV.

if you think otherwise its a little naive.

theres always someone doing something they shouldnt

this. except i've never seen a GM use weathered gear (and they dont hang around in parties at aether nodes/gates lol), but that aside, full screen players tend not to bother with reporting to the STF because its so much hastle.
