Fed up of the RMTs, cheaters and other ToS breakers?

Then why not apply for a GM job!
While browsing the EU site earlier I noticed Square are hiring GMs for FFXIV and FFXI
To semi-quote the old US Army posters: "Ezorea NEEDS YOU!"

Just a thought given the complaining threads pop up each week
I'm almost considering applying myself, just not sure if modding XIV would kill my love/will to play it :/

Because quitting your job to take their job offer, where you will have to follow their policies is better than trying to convince them that their policies are too lenient and letting too much damage go unmitigated. :/

ya there hiring London only anyways thats like 1% of people on the game probably

I'm not sure if thats a pro-become a GM reply or anti-apply reply? 0_o
Sounds like a reason to apply, perhaps they'd be more willing to listen to players about these things (DF Withdrawls, RMTs, cheats/exploits etc...) if they were more players working for them, thats if any of the Reps/GMs play either of the FF Online titles in their spare time.
Maybe some of their own staff havent experienced the problems as paying customers as often as we have, yeah their aware of the problems and how much we hate them - but thats from the "inside" with whatever powers they have and the Dev servers to roam around as opposed to the "outside" public worlds that we use.

But hey I don't know what they do as part of their jobs (and wont protend to) other then mod these boards and man the in-game help desk.

EDIT:

I didnt check the NA site or the JP site as their not my region but I'd guess SE America would be hiring as well given the player base. Also their hiring London as thats the EU base for their operations, you'll notice its for the English, French and German worlds/forums - not for UK games only

I can offer this comic to you, maybe it quench your anger!

You'd still have to follow all their guidelines and processes. Heck, even if you saw someone botting as a GM you just can't delete/ban him right away. A investigation HAS to be made for each individual case.

Got an NA link lol.

This. You're making it sound like the only issue right now is the GM's have a lack of caring that only a true fan could provide.

I know several people who did GM service for World of Warcraft when it was located in my city, and it sounded absolutely dreadful. I don't even want to imagine the nightmare it must be to deal with this community as a GM...

Yeah, he's making it sound like all GMs are just incompetent and allow RMT and botters to run unchecked. Magically getting a job as a GM wouldn't change the game whatsoever, since you still have to follow all of their processes. The GMs are likely doing everything they can. It's just a long process.

Sorry to crush your hopes of becoming a real life GM Dave but if you don't already work within the industry you aren't getting the GM position.
