RMT p2. soon too will be locked

If RMT bothers you so much don't play MMOs. It is always going to be an issue on FF XIV. I am actually suprised it is not worse than it is.

Is this really how all of you answer issues in your life?

Don't like school? Don't go!
Don't like work? Don't go!
Don't like your neighbor? Kill them!
Don't like your left arm? Chop it off!

Cop out response that pretty much says, "I don't like what you said, but I can't really say why". Learn to argue.

Because a video game is as important as education, being a contributing member of society, a person's life and a valuable limb.

No, seriously. RMT can never be completely prevented. It's a problem that plagues every MMO. While we should be grateful that there is a thorough procedure that SE follows before using the ban-hammer, unlike some MMOs, we have people here thinking they can hold a debate so profound that the devs will learn from us and change their process of dealing with RMT.

Totally missed the point of my post.

No, I assure you. I got it

You did huh? Let me put it in a different light, then. Of course simply opting out of something is the most common sense way to rectify an unfavorable situation. However, in some cases there are extenuating circumstances that might prohibit one from simply dropping the case because it's the 'easiest' answer to the problem. In the adult world, we realize this, and generally don't appreciate such black-and-white thinking.

Are you sure you understood Akira? I believe he said that if you don't like RMT, not to play MMOs.

It's not simply opting out, or avoiding a problem. It's being realistic that there will always be RMTs in MMOs.

The question isn't whether or not you can wipe them out, but if you can make life hell for them by repeatedly suspending/banning their accounts and/or implementing measures that make it difficult for them to grind massive amounts of in-game currency.

In both cases, the devs need to take extreme care not to negatively effect the gameplay experience of honest paying customers. Consider RMTs who have multiple accounts and rotate them in intervals. That is only an example of how some RMTs may avoid suspicion. RMTs have been banned in this game. There are those of us who know this. Some have been around for a very long time- we see them time and time again. It goes to show some are easier to spot than others.

In game we can see a funny named lalafell who is repeatedly gathering and be quick to pass judgement that they are botting RMTs, but I assure you there is an abundance of cases where we'd be wrong.

In conclusion, this thread will serve no ultimate purpose to aid the battle against RMT.

No but RMT is always an issue in MMO's and one that is very difficult to stop. I am sure Square will do what they can about it and it really isn't having that much of an affect on the game right now. The only thing you can do is report it. It is just a part of playing these games though i'm afraid.

Oooh, can I try?

Don't like school? Drop out and get a G.E.D.!
Don't like work? Get a different job!
Don't like your neighbor? Move away or sue them for harassment!
Don't like your left arm? See a doctor!

For everything else, there's Mastercard.

There are multiple ways of solving any problem.

Anyway, I have this saying. If you don't like the game you're playing, stop playing it. Sometimes, it really is that simple.
