Ongoing concern with content selling in party finder

[Pehrah]

Dont forget the meme after UCOB was out for a while, enough people kept causing wipes and all around being bad."Legend btw"

With the ability to properly blacklist ads in the PF with 5.1, SE has given you an answer: RMT for content sales is fine as long as specifics are kept outside of the game.

This I can live with. I could care less how people advertise their stuff. Just keep that stuff out of my sight in PF from the parts where they don't belong. The devs really done well this time.

i mean they can't even stop all cheaters and what not in other games like overwatch, etc. how's an indie company like Square Enix supposed to stop all selling of content either?

Start paying real money for having a PF with ilvl 999 requirement.

I'll just stick to my thought that you can't suggest the use of any sort of 3rd party app in the PF field or party chat.

If it's more about randoms legitimately wanting a voice chat for PUG content, then SE can implement their own in-game voice system that would have contents recorded and saved for a short time in case GM intervention is needed.

You willing to foot the bill for these features? Cuz SE isn't, they've been against first party voice chat from the start because there are so many third party options that people are more willing to use.

In a sense they already do because as far as I can tell these advertisements are done using alt accounts as a "just in case" measure in the event SE actually takes actions against them.

Frankly, I've yet to see a piece of content that mandates voice chat and have historically viewed such as a crutch for people unwilling to research encounters or teach others beforehand. As such, losing the ability to solicit it for PUG content would not bother me in the slightest. Nonetheless, I proposed the alternative simply because some are too obsessed with it being an option. Whether or not SE thinks it worth it isn't my concern. I'd rather preemptively halt or overly complicate RMT activity as opposed to simply reacting, like the pending PF blacklist feature is.

We all know there is RMT going on for clears. However, Squeenix only accepts in game proof. They are smart enough to direct people to their discord or whatever to do the real money part. This will go on as long as there are people lame enough to buy clears.

I suppose you've killed both Ultimates with no voice chat then?

Mandatory or not also does not change that it's nice to have quick communication with your team, and since third parties are willing to pay for that, SE doesn't have the need to.
