Keep NFT out of FF14

[ApolloGenX]

There will always be bad actors. In your example since the parents are asked for the money then it would be up to them to do their due diligence. What is the item? what markets does it trade on? and is it a fair trade? If they did not have time to do this then deny the child until they do. If the child has their own money to buy the item then the parents should teach them how to do this due diligence on their own. Nothing wrong with a parent deciding to not allow purchases until they are confident in the child's ability to discern. Additionally, parental controls are something that can also be added.

There will always be bad actors- true. However, you are talking about a system that is hard to understand for many people, much less children. SE has a responsibility to minimize bad actors... which you could argue they are not great at with bots...but introducing a financially risky vector to this game? To what end? What does it add to a game? If this was a gambling app or something like that, I think it would make a little more sense, but this is a completely different concept that would be shoved into a subscription based game. Isn't the Mog Shop enough? I also think it's one thing for a parent to understand this game's rating and let a kid play.... it's completely different to subject them to this kind of activity without fully even being aware of it..... it is.... almost nefarious, imo.

almost nefarious, imo.

NFTs absolutely get used for nefarious activities (leaving victims), among other problems mentioned in this thread. I cannot morally support NFTs. But I'm not shocked Blizzard overlooks all of this in favor for money.
