Action against RMT Activity Involving Power LevelingFollow

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news21808.shtml

I think the services dropped a lot once the cruor market dried up - only people who actually wanted to exp still needed to go, and there's a finite number of levels for all the characters in the game.

What about legit groups that FC'd to make money for relic weapons? As long as they're not spamming, is it still okay?

They just noticed the yell/shout spam? Come on SE seriously?

I'd be just fine if they implemented the shout say tell s judged to be spam function,Instead of filling blist w/ these spammers that change weekly.

How are we know ? There are legit HNMLSs that offer FC pty's so they can facilitate improving their members. Low man groups that also do the same.
I take from this that if I join a FC pty or forbid go out w/ my LS to farm KI's from gold boxes I may be supporting RMT or assumed to be RMT. Unless I physically buy the gil I'm not supporting them. Find the 10 day old character w/ 20 mil gil on him and 50 mil in gear hmmm might need to look into that ya think. Besides why anyone buys gil anymore is beyond me. SE comes in ban hammer blazing and inhibits it's player base from making gil in an attempt to keep them from buying gil that we aren't buying so that we end up buying gil. Hell just remove Fell Cleave as a WS all together.

Look RMT simply are no longer inhibiting Game Play for the average player and actually provide a service that is in demand that others are willing to participate in. I'm quite content to have them take the gil of those that are willing to pay. Then likely turn around and buy the gil back from them.

This isn't Sky 5 years ago when they were directly affecting my game experience.

We have the Mentor Flag option why not give RMT a special bubble so we can avoid supporting RMT activity SE.

leveling doesn't really need to have meaning. Also people can still just key boxes. It isn't like this will make people "lern der jobs" by spamming pages in the crawlers nest for days.

The benefit will be that there may be more people in GoV again, as it was getting kind of sparse, which slows it down for people who don't want to/can't afford to pay-to-level

I think there is too much reading into this. It states that powerleveling parties where you have to pay to be in, and then the collector of gil uses it in RMT activity. This doesn't affect the people that pay, nor people in fell cleave groups. This has to do with people who spend gil in RMT activity. I think SE is smart enough to know the difference between the casual player (the ones that pay in), vs the one that pay out illegally in RMT trading.

Think about it. The only way SE is gonna know who is involved in RMT activity is seeing where the money is coming from... and they NEED the people who pay in to find the RMT.. so I think we're safe.

also, if you have to buy gil in today's FFXI, you're a lazy goddammed moron who should quit and go play console games instead... maybe pay someone to beat the game for you so you can say you beat it. Loser.

No they didn't. GMs for the past 2 years has stated they'll target FCs and etc especially due to RMT activity. They stated it's not technically against the rules to do it, but shout selling from RMT/Players is a violation in their eyes. If someone reports you for it the GM WILL act on it.

I've seen plenty on Phoenix banned for shoutting for FC. So no, SE didn't "just" notice anything. It's more likely they're finally enforcing it more strictly.



Let's face it, the only people left that needs to be leveled are new people or people returning before cap raises, otherwise if you've been active you're well past NEEDING FCs and Exping.

This is why its a big RMT market now.

Am I having a stroke or is half the english in this thread unreadable?

Nah, bacon honeycup balance tarutaru virtue. Oh, and RDM mealtime.

They had to take it off because of a handful of characters named stuff like Rosalee.

I don't know what you're talking about. After all this time, now that they've started to do it again, it's always been [BR0SALE.C0M] with no spaces.

At least I've gotten reporting them down to about 30 seconds, much of which is spent making sure that I typed the name right. The least I can do is cost them the 5-10 bucks for the account they spammed from.

brosale.com amuses me to no end. Get it? It's a sale for bros only! If you're not a bro you should go back to your filthy IGE and buy gil there instead.
