OFTEN

Imagine if a very reserved, professional and usually reasonable team of Dev that are SE japan, that barely ever communicates about the scale of an issue or being forced to by the odds (like how bad was ARR 1.0) have to write this, have to write this, in a new announcement, forced to recognize that it not only happens, but often, this is only possible because even them, have played around our servers and experienced how BAD it has become. If they have to write it, you know the scale of the issue is such that they have to recognize it.

Go on, continue with the "It's all in your imagination bro" when even they have to come to terms with it. But nununu, of course, it's aaaaaall in your imagination, they don't shit up the pfinder weeks in and weeks out with fake ilvl 615 reclears tuesday to tuesday, with the same EXACT names posting these pfinders all the time, all the week, magically clearing with their inner groups of streamer discord dwellers a few hours before reset, but shitting up the pfinder all the rest of the week, all the rest of the week they hop on from parties to parties to make sure clear doesn't happen for a lot of normal players (because the names of those who make these pfinders on the EU servers, are easily found on a lot of streamer's background characters surrounding said streamers and even often teaming up with them for savages, one just has to notice and write them down and suddenly have an "epiphany" moment to realize how it works) trapping normal players and gaslighting them into extremely aggressive predatory neuromarketing ploys engaging at 2 to 3 and sometimes more players in such parties into piling on someone they purposefully place snapshots and mechanics ontop of said player, then accusing them, to the point of making some players doubting themselves and looking then for these services (very common known aggressive cybersale / sale practices based on trying to make a person feel they need it, it's been around for a decade and developed by psychologists too) extending even from savages to sometimes extremes, and it's in your imagination that they absolutely don't reserve full wards of housing under the same name of fc / guilds, and alts. Of very course.

Another very obvious telltale, is that these sellers of clears very often boast about themselves being part of top 3 to top 10 week 1 clears on these alternative websites.

Go on, i dare you to try to make SE japan admit and realize something happens in the first place, even less of a chance for them to admit it happens often.

Mmm just like Eureka RMT bots that they ignore for years.

Hundreds of Billions of RMT gil farmed and they dont even bat an eyelid.

I thought you had definitive proof that SE was in on the sale? Are we just ignoring that aspect now? Trying to spin everything so it fits under your conspiracy again?

[Espon]

I don't understand. What are you complaining about, now? Every time I see you post, you make it sound like the entire world is against you, even if the topic that you're posting about has absolutely nothing to do with what you're saying.

Looking at past behaviour of overlooking extreme aspects of it and the repeated nature of some of it's most obvious, data wise, scale of gil cyclingthrough and around, that should be easily gathered, that couldn't be ignored hence one poster above and many other examples of this, i don't absolve them into "laissez faire" / letting it go and do of privilege assorted to some GM's and some individuals on the West side as "part of the job" , as it often is discovered after a while, that in the west, that kind of corruption in inner group of friends is not only alive but has become a business model, it's a lazy shitfest of "tradition" of leeches in our countries, into itself feeding it's own machine, many other games / mmo can attest to that "tradition" in western games for scandals discovered way after the fact. SE Japan, could also just be partly aware of this and doesn't realize some top of the shelf CEO / or new community managers in the west need to get the boot for giving these privileges, now that they become over-abundant and way too widespread, that often goes with the scale of new players / playerbase extending.

Just another PR statement. Unless gms will fly around world/eureka instances and start manually ban bots nothing will change. Bot sub > real human sub as usual

"I don't understand"

"what are you complaining about ?"

"You are such a victim"

Many such gaslighting cases even on these forums.

[Hasrat]

Ah, the classic "cherry picking the parts of a sentence that fit your narrative."

[Katt_Felista]

I truely don't care about the vocal minority of RMT apologists/defenders on these forums that need to get a real job, these topics make more views from normal / legit players that are now aware of it's scale and the more they know the better they don't fall into these traps and maybe stop feeding this machine, because let's be honest, savages aren't the hardest raid content there is in any game, they are pretty much a dance dance R of muscle memory after a few weeks of doing them. These Rmt communities are just as aggressive as they feel their side pocket money threatened, a tad less so on the forums then they are in game tho.

"RMT vendors will often obstruct normal players gameplay activity"

The Japanese quote in question is

RMTによって現実での利益を得ることだけを考えた行動をするため、他のプレイヤーの邪魔をすることも含めて、利用規約を守る意思がありません。

"Often" isn't used as far as I read it (which admittedly isn't great). Just "They act solely for real-world gain through RMT and have no intention of abiding by the TOS, including not interfering with other players."

However, good. let's hope they do something as:

Should you witness any RMT activity, we ask that you contact us using the in-game reporting menu, which can be found under [System Menu] -> [Support Desk] -> [Contact Us] -> [Report Cheating].

Always got a reply "don't talk to us, lodge it on the webpage" in the past.
