    Major FFXIV site running adds for illegal hacks

    I'm currently working on leveling my gathering/crafting classes, and noticed that a major, seemingly-reputable, FFXIV resource site features ads for cheating programs that can get players perma-banned (and for good reason) if they use them.

    Not sure it is right for me to say what site it is, but it is the best one I've found for crafting/gathering leveling guides. It feels creepy going there to check on node locations, given who they choose for site sponsors.

    Most website want to make money to cover the cost.

    If you sign up for adsence from google. It will place ads on you're website. If you don't care you will get ads for things you may or may not support.
    There are so many ads good and bad... that you will get good and bad.

    Good site admins, Will cut out stuff they don't support otherwise flood gates are open.

    This ^ maybe the admins are not aware of it yet, it would be best for you to contact them first before posting anything on the forums and giving the site a bad rep.

    If you don't hear anything back from them and it is still showing those kinds of ads then you can either simply ignore it and keep using the site and just go about your business, or bring it to the FF communities attention if it really bothers you, it's up to you what you would want to do.
