Party Finder RMT selling clears and items

[MsMisato]

Until people stop buying gil (what are they even buying with it?) they’ll probably never stop farming.

Mounts, minions, glamours and the list can go on and on. Dare I say the clears as well.

No is not, because they sell gear basically. And im a crafter.
I don't see a diference between them and RMT really, is getting iLevels for money one way or another while ruining crafting.

So yeah, check the logs and also retroactively ban anyone who ever sold or purchased a run.

Well, there are many players who don't care about crafting/crafters, myself included. So yeah keep whining and making unrealistic demands. I can guarantee you anthing involving gil will never be banned. You do know SE would rather people use gil than real money any day.

Selling runs for gil should also be a ban-able offense.
They should let us pass RMT reports as easy for run sellers too.

Not only is it not bannable, but is actually considered a legit transaction between players from the devs/GM point of view.

(Eg. Post from 2017 with GM being quoted as saying such: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...=1#post4500631 )

#28 on that thread:

GM:"I see, according to the logs they seem to only be selling runs for Gil and that they have it listed cross-world by default."
GM: "Selling runs for Gil is not against the terms of service."
GM: "I feel that I have everything I need to begin my investigation. Before I take my leave is there anything else that I may be able to assist you with today?"
I ask if they can request the advertisers to uncheck the option that has the listings being shown across the data center.
GM: "No I can not"
GM: "Players are allowed to do this and it would be interruption of their game play if I were to make them stop."
Me: Even though it's across the data center? (paraphrased)
GM: "That's correct."
Me: How are they receiving gil across servers? (paraphrased)
The GM then ends the conversation.

This are the most disheartening quotes i've read today.
I guess everything is worth the same nowadays.

Might as well allow people pay their sub with gold now, maybe sell gil boxes officially, that would solve the RMT.

I mean, I don’t care much about clearing endgame content anyway, but what’s the big deal if people pay in game currency to get a mount or whatever it is they’re after upon getting the clear? Is it about waggling your ePeen? (Not you personally).

It’s not like their clearing or not has any bearing on my gameplay.

The only thing I do see as a problem is what OP is talking about- lots of clutter in the Party
Finder board.

I agree that RMT is an issue but your are really reaching at this point and if that's the case, crafters selling neo gear via PF should be banned as well because you know they could be part of the RMT issue. Seriously there is not a thing wrong selling services for in game currency after all its an MMO and it will happen. If you are good you and your friends can handle the clears with ease by all means you can offer clears for gil as well nothing is stopping you.
