    Can someone please let me know how Geuno is giving away mog station items for raffle prizes. This is an idea i had and was told by a GM that this is considered RMT

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    Whilst I'm not sure about RMT, I do know that in the UK (and possibly through the EU) this would be classed as an illegal lottery if it is operating without a licence. The reasoning behind this is that money is being used, if it had been purely in game items it would be fine. The laws are very convoluted about this and have recently become even more so.

    Thanks for the response Culfinrandir. I've read over the license agreement like 100 times over and contacted Square Enix directly when i got the idea for confirmation. I was told that it is illegal and considered RMT. Because of this we'll be purely using in game items unless i get some type of confirmation that this act is legal. Would be fun but i do understand how its considered illegal and RMT. I may follow up with SE on giving away a real life item without the cost of any gil. That isn't a trade of any kind and doesn't sound like cheating honestly. I just want higher rewards for my fc really if that makes sense.

    Basically, the Terms & Conditions have a clause in them that (to paraphrase) states "Whatever we say, goes. It doesn't have to be written down anywhere & can change at any time". It gives SE the ability to make decisions without having to change the legal agreements which would leave them open to challenge (theoretically if you decide you don't like the new written terms you can stop playing & demand a refund).

    So many people here screech "WHERE IZ RITTEN?!? NOT RITTEN MEENZ U LIE!!!111" whenever something like your situation pops up (not saying you did that, it's obvious that you've sensibly looked into it). The existing terms mean it doesn't NEED to be written in black & white for it to be against the rules - if they say it is, then it is. No arguments. =D

    Personally, I think it's the terminology being used and them just saying the safest answer for them. I'd figure a raffle is typically something where you buy a ticket with real money in hopes of a prize. But considering you can gift MogStation items to other people and streamers do giveaways all the time, there shouldn't be any issue unless people try to make it an issue, and the GMs just shut it down. It's like kids fighting that the other kid took their toy so the parent just takes the toy away.

I moved to Levi from Excaliber and so far its been a nice time in Gueno. Everyone is very friendly. They have alot of members but their system is very orderly. And this is coming from a player whos run a endgame FC from XIV 1.0 to up until 2 yrs ago. Being a big community, those FCs will not crowd and pamper you with attention like the smaller close knit endgames FC. As its a large community, you will have to be the one to make the effort to mingle in. As such, they have large numbers and are always ranked top on the lodestone so i can see why many want to downplay them but you have to keep in mind that they arent a full blast endgame FC, its more like a neighborhood community.

    Actually Tribe has moved to Bryn for sometime now and all too glad. That FC was very desperate for members and had leadership issues from what i gathered. They were nowhere near hardcore.
    Diamond Dust i believe membership has dwindled down, and i do not know for certain if they are casual or not but a friend had left their group within the 2nd week :/
    What i have liked on Leviathan is the friendlier attitude and i guess you can say casualness. I do consider our FC casual but we have members who run Savage in statics outside of it. W have a variety of players different ages, 21 the youngest to our oldest member being in their 60's.
    Everyone has something they like

    Also welcome Deceptistar to Levi

    Critical Rip, High Allagan Hoes, Vanguard just to name a few... I know this is super old but was looking for some information on a [MC][FC] that is on A8S or farming this by now as well but these 3 are the way to go at the moment with raiding. But to be 100% honest most Free Companies aren't raiders it comes down to who you know and what linkshell(s) you are a member of. But if it is the buffs for raids you are looking for those 3 would be it. But I also can't 100% disagree with you either. The server as a whole is about 98% casual. 2% making up that small FCs like the 3 I mentioned above.

    Thanks,
    I have no idea. I used to be part of Geuno and left because of these "Raffles" along with the fact nimbus and her "troupe" have consumed and bought like 5 other free companies. this Geuno stigma makes me so sick sometimes that they would end up being the reason i cough up $20 and transfer to another server. I haven't due to the fact I've been playing on this server for nearly 4 years now and I would be losing a lot of friendships i have made here.
