Everyone complaining about no action on RMT, please read

[Magictrix]

Just look at this from the most recent action against RMT topic. Almost 11,000 accounts permanently banned....
...
So, next time you're complaining about the lack of action, consider the volume of account bans.

Accounts Banned: 10803
New Copy of FFXIV: $19.99
Cost of buying 10 mil gil: $30

10803 accounts banned = $215,951.97
Meaning to break even, 71.98 billion gil would need to have been bought,
that's not to make profit, that's just to break even,
and that doesn't include any website costs, reversed credit card charges,
electric/internet bills to be connected to the game.

So Please explain to me how one makes a profit at this?

The numbers just don't add up.

I'm not sure what your point is. I haven't seen any difference in game. Too little too late.

There is no other MMO on the planet with this much RMT spam. This is by far the biggest issue facing this game moving into 3.0. We will gain virtually no new players because they will never subscribe when logging into this every day. My last Recruit A Friend quit because he had a wall of spam just like this when he came out of his FIRST cutscene, was like..I am not paying for this, and went back to WildStar. No one should be making excuses for SE in regards to this.

Kind of dramatic, bruh. I mean...its some of the worst I've ever seen lately, but not by far the worst.

Archeage is the only game that comes close to the FF14 spam. Yet Archeage is a free to play game. None of the pay to plays are this bad from my experience.

No, "bruh", it's not dramatic. It is the truth. There is no subscription based MMO out there that is as bad as this one in regards to RMT on the North American servers. You get some spam like this in free to play games, but they are FREE. Personally, "bruh", I love this game. I want to see it continue on the path it is currently on, but this RMT issue needs to be dealt with because I personally know four new players that were excited to play FFXIV until they saw that spam before they even got out of the first cutscene. Going /busy or digging through 47 spam messages for a real /whisper from a friend is unacceptable in a subscription based game. We need to be able to interact and we need new players.

See, bruh, if you had "subscription based" MMO in your first post, I'd have agreed. But you said "no other MMO on the planet", which is simply wrong.

Its all in the fine details, bruh.

I think OP misunderstands the nature of the complaints which arise on this forum. People aren't complaining about the task force and their work. We're complaining about the lack of tools provided to players to maintain privacy in game. I for one gladly welcome these ban sweeps but its only one of many more approaches that still have yet to be made to help reign in this problem. And even though the amount seems high, its only had very minimal impact on the server I play on. I'm hoping these large number bans in conjunction with player complaints will finally motivate them to grant us better privacy tools to create a more complete solution.

[Parodine]

The majority of complaints I've have seen is not that SE is doing nothing...it's that what they have been doing so far has not been effectively combating the problem. There's no way to completely get rid of them as has been said, buyers/sellers will still prevail. But this is still ridiculous. And if they only have 3 people on that team like others have pointed out, the pieces start to come together.

[papichulo123]

Yeah tired of people complaining about this just ignore them in game deny there friend requests that's it damn

[papichulo123]

Square just sell us Gil in cash shop so these rmt people get put out of business
