We would like to respond to the two following points that we have been receiving from everyone.

Regarding the suspicious group of players

In regards to the suspicious group of players that has been seen inside towns, we're aware that this group is collecting gil by hunting monsters within instanced dungeons. This collected gil is then used for RMT (Real Money Trade). When we take action against these accounts, we also investigate the flow of the gil and will freeze it accordingly.

Regarding the handling of RMT

We often see comments such as "I'm reporting these users, but it looks like nothing is being done about it." To make sure we don't falsely punish the wrong player, we first have to investigate before taking any actions, therefore it may require some time depending on the amount of information that has been reported for an incident. Unfortunately, we are not able to simply take action on users just because they seem suspicious. Please understand that the time it takes until any action can be taken will vary from case to case. Actions taken against these users can be found in the General section of the Information sub-forum.


Again, we really appreciate all of the reports you have been sending us as these reports help us fight against RMT. Even if the information is for just one character, it's valuable information to us.

You'll be able to report these in-game through System > Support Desk > Contact Us > Report Cheating, so we ask for your continued support in fighting against the RMT!




Thanks for commenting on the situation guys! Glad you're still fighting the good fight!

Why don't you say what you really feel and not use passive aggressive macro pics?

This was supposed to be a fun thread. I have great respect for the mere three individuals who have to work so hard to combat RMT. The original intention was to get them to hire more people for the job. Raise awareness and the such, but if I have to spoon-feed you the real intention, there you have it.

I think this thread should be removed.

Due to the fact that Square Enix admins have banned people for putting up pictures poking fun at the task members, why should you all get a free pass to do it when those who were banned was joking around just like you are now.

I don't know. Maybe because I've stated deep respect for the group in the past, or maybe because they knew I was going to run out of three man comparisons in a hurry and the thread will get buried within a week.
