FFXIV devs promise to crack down harder on real-money trading
Square Enix has laid out h🌠ow it plans to sta🌞mp RMT out from the Final Fantasy MMO

Square Enix is doing mor♉e to tackle real-money trading in Final Fantasy 14.&nb𝓡sp;
In a new , the developer shares that plans are in motion to increase staffing, upgrade tools, and add new procedures to prevent people from mak𒁃ing real-life profits in-game and "provide our community with a safe and secure gaming experience".
– the developer admits it's still observing "a certain level of RMT activity", leading it to action."We are aware of groups that engage in RMT, which we refer to as 'RMT vendors,' whose only goal is to make real-life profit," the developer says. "These vendors do not care about adhering to the User Agreement and will often obstruct the gameplay of normal players to benefit themselves. Furthermore, RMT vendors very commonly engage 🧸in real-life criminal activity, such as the unauthorized access of accounts and the use of stolen credit card information.
"The majority of items and Gil sold through RMT were produced as a result of🐼 such fraudulent activity. Purchasing from RMT vendors promotes these fraudulent activ﷽ities and is prohibited under the FINAL FANTASY XIV User Agreement. Furthermore, as a reminder, doing so also leads to promoting activities deemed illegal in real-life."
Like most online games, Final Fantasy 14 has its fair share of people offering services for real-world money – account boosting, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:naughtier stuff, you get it. As anyone who has playe🤪d an online game with a chat function can attest, advertisements for th𓆏ose services are somewhat unavoidable regardless of what you're doing. Square Enix's advice on that, for now, is to continue ignoring those messages and report them when you see them.
"We strongly encourage players to refrain from engaging with these groups, as there would be no reason for RM🌌T vendors to exist if players do not use𝐆 their services," Square Enix says.

As part of its crackdown on RMT, Square 🎃Enix has also changed its gifting policy on the online store.&n🉐bsp;
"This change was implement✨ed as a countermeasure against fraudulent purchases made using the previous version of the gifting feature, as we confirmed instances of gift codes being purchased for the purpose of resale, as well as real-life criminal activity where purchases were potentially made using stolen credit card information," the developer .
It hasn't been confirmed what items can be gifted and which can't, thoug꧋h have t🍌hat mounts, emotes, and minions are the main casualties. Fantasia, story skips, and gear cosmetics, however, seem fine.

I joined GamesRadar+ in May 2022 following stints at PCGamesN and PocketGamer.Biz, with some freelance for Kotaku UK, RockPaperShotgun, and VG24/🅠7 thrown in ཧfor good measure. When I'm not running the news team on the games side, you'll find me putting News Editor duties to one side to play the hottest JRPG of 20 years ago or pillaging the depths of Final Fantasy 14 for a swanky new cloak – the more colourful, the better.
