Complaint Review: Square Enix - Internet

In Final Fantasy 14 the Real Money Traders ("RMT") have

basically taken over the game.

Square Enix is in bed with these RMT people I wonder

how much money a month Square Enix gets to look the

other way from the RMT people.

The players of the game have been screaming for

Square Enix to do more but they continue to ignore

their player base.

Even myself I have posted messages on the FFXIV

forums asking that they at least put in an option where

you can right click on a name in the chat and report a

player similar to what other MMOs have.

Many people have posted on their forums asking

for a way to stop the Gill spam in game and all of

the reports by different players have fallen on deaf

ears.  If you search there are literately hundreds if

not thousands of requests asking Square Enix to

do more to stop this.

These are only a very few that I found.

Even though Square Enix has RMT listed as a prohibited

action but they do not enforce it.

Real Money Trade (RMT)

Our Definition of RMT

RMT is defined as the selling and buying of virtual assets for real-world money.

Virtual assets can include, but is not limited to:

•Accounts

•Characters

•In-game Currency (Gil)

•In-game Service

•In-game item

Items and GIL obtained illegally through 3rd party tools or RMT activities can affect the game’s economic stability, and can disrupt the game play balance.  Some 3rd party programs contain viruses and spyware, which can be harmful to other players unbeknownst to the 3rd party program user.  This can lead to a leak of a user’s personal data, character deletion, or other unfortunate circumstances.  We have a zero tolerance policy for RMT.

Their policies look real nice but in the actual game itself this is

not enforced.  You get spammed every few minutes by

gold spammers in the game via private messages

and as well as in chat channels in the town.

I have even reported these gil spammers in game and

came back 2 days later and the same spammer is

still spamming on the same account clearly Square

Enix did nothing with the reports, once again this shows

how scummy Square Enix is.

Square Enix post messages with numbers saying they

have banned a certain number of accounts every

week but that is nothing more than for show to try

and put up a good front to make it look like they are

doing something when really they are not.

Square Enix is two faced and can not be trusted.

I hope that Square Enix is making a lot of money off these

Gil spammers because they are going to start losing their

customers if they don't do something immediately about

these gill spammers and get them out of the game.

Not only do these Gil spammers annoy the players

but also destroy the economy on the servers

as well.

Bottom line is that Square Enix doesn't care about

their players or anything their players have to say

all they care about is their bottom line. As long as

Square Enix is making money they don't give a d**n

about anyone else.

Avoid the game Final Fantasy 14 and boycott these

scumbags.
