Is doing USD art commissions allowed on FFXIV?

[Canadane]

I would say that it’s a gray area.

- Doing commissions for real money or Gil is fine.

No! No no!
Bringing gil into it is the essence of RMT.
Do not trade game currency for anything outside the game.

I have a personal problem and it's with people like you spreading misinformation. You are literally trying to tell people who have picked art as more than a hobby, went to school for it, and were taught about copyright infringement, that they are wrong. Because why? Art should just be fun and we shouldn't care.

I'm saying that I don't understand how people who build their art and careers off the backs of other creators (by drawing another's character) can be so against others using their art. If folks want to play the high-horse card, then why not just create their own art? Why rely other creators for ideas and character design?

You're still in this thread acting like you know anything remotely factual about the professional side of something you only dabble in for "Fun"...?

Good lord...have mercy on my soul. Please, go take a few art history classes, you clearly need them.....and some legal ones as well apparently.
