Combating Spam Alone

[Hateborne]

Ok, as mentioned by some of the players above, some registrars do not abide by or maintain an abuse policy. That being said, ICANN will likely have something to say about that.

First: Navigate to ICANN's complaint page. Located below...

https://www.icann.org/compliance/complaint

Second: Is it a lack of abuse policy or them simply not responding within a reasonable time frame (i.e. 3 business days)? If so, move to 'Registrars' and then 'Registrar Abuse Reports' or see the link below...

https://forms.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/complaints/registrars/standards-complaint-form

Third: Fill out the form accurately, honestly, and entirely. Be sure to tick the bubble for 'Registrar does not have abuse contact data on website or did not investigate report of abuse'.

Hope this helps! Fight the good fight brothers/sisters of Eorzea!

FFXIVMALL seems to be using GoDaddy. Reported them through GoDaddy's abuse reporting system.

Yes, knocking them offline would be a temporary setback with a small financial irritation (rather than punishment). However, if their URL keeps changing weekly/monthly, it is hard to keep a customer base coming back to an ever changing URL.
