Can we please ban advertisements for selling clears from PF?

[Gula]

Had actually added this person first, like 8am. Didn't accept till about noon yet the PF kept refreshing for 2 hours after. This person was friendly enough to list the full prices, other person may have but I didn't ask for a break down. Just woke up and was hoping to keep pictures together but ah well, no sense letting the info go to waste. If these people actually get buyers, no wonder. Almost tempting enough to quit my job and do this for a living.

And here I am working a 9-5. Looks like it's time to learn min maxing.

If you mean they are paying real money, then yes, that's already a bannable offense. If you see an ad for clear for real money, you can report that player.

If you're talking about gil, then there's nothing against the rules about that. If that's how people want to spend their gil, then that's their choice.

I agree with you. That being said, I agree with the OP as well. There is an "Other" category for a reason. What we need is an "Advert" topic or better yet an "Advertisement" filter choice for the PF. There is a place for advertisements in the PF. But since more and more we see not only people "Selling Clears" but 90% of the Eden category is people either looking for a static or players looking for people for their static. The PF should have a way for us to filter these out easily and for us to find that Eden group that is set to run within the next 30minutes and not ones you are applying to for the future.

Since they are literal advertisements, would it be a bad idea to put a category or something for selling runs and all that jazz on the market board? Implement it in some way? I dunno.

Edit: I just thought about it. It's less convenient. Never mind.

It's honestly pathetic that people are willing to shell out that much money just for one clear of content.

I guess false prestige means a lot more to some then I would've ever guessed.

Just let bannable the ads asking to contact outside the game (as discord or other third party social). If you really are selling for Gil you haven't nothing to worry making the deal using a SE-LOGGED channel.

[Kaedan]

Just wanted to pop back in and say I completely agree with making adverts that say "discuss terms on Discord, etc" a bannable offense. Of course, that wouldn't stop them, unfortunately. They could agree to a gil price in-game, and then just agree to a real money price on Discord after the fact.

You realize SE does not accept screenshots or any outside source except what's stated in game, so burden of proof is an impossibility if the seller isn't an idiot. SE has made the burden of proof impossible, yet I can't say that cancel xyz is a good idea either. Until ToS changes and proof limitation is expanded, then I guess we just have to hope people aren't dumb enough to dump money on these scammers. Bluntly, saying to add on discord and the conversation 'ending' on FFXIV is more than enough proof since if it was gil only, there would be no reason to hide anything.

A ToS change would be horrible because it would allow people to fake evidence and get innocent people banned. There is a reason why SE is so tight on their evidence policy, and it is because they only accept evidence that they themselves can verify as truthful within the resources that they have. I would much rather a ToS that allows people to post RMT in PF than one that allows malicious people to get whoever they want banned with fake evidence.

Since ToS, Discord, and other stuff is kind of fickle as far as clear selling outside of gil is concerned, I do have a suggestion in this following link: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...OL-stuff-on-PF
