Has Square Enix Banned Logic?Follow

Most players only really notice RMT when they get a /tell advertising a gil-selling site.

I wish it would've hit on the RMT /tells more than that, but clearly the article's focus was not centered on that. Still, SE needs to know us getting barraged with RMT advertising in-game all-day every-day is NOT OK. Nice read though, not much you can do with all the bannings but cross fingers and hope now.

Has Square Enix Banned Logic?

Really I don't think there's any way to get rid of them. Unless they didn't offer a free trial at all, but that's bad business. A free trial is a real good way to get more people into your game.

RMT tells are hardly that bothersome. I am used to ignoring people by now, RMT is just an extra person every few hours to not pay any attention to.

Maybe you can explain why you keep trolling the forums then. If you don't believe in SE enough to think they can rectify the problem, why continue to waste time posting about it? Listen, I understand you're upset because SE is epic failing right now. It takes them such a long time to admit any mistake. Imagine if one day SE fixes these issues that have caused others to give up, you'll have a great game and system in place if only you hadn't gave up so early. I truly believe a lot of their changes are being put in place to help make FFXIV run more smoothly off the bat. The POL billing system was never working as intended. My first and last name is reversed for crying out loud and they still haven't fixed that.

SE has destroyed a RMT threat unlike never before seen in a MMO. It's unfortunate so many innocent players have became swept up under the RMT banning system. I think it's sad you quit all because SE banned your brother because of a RMT glitch. Eventually things will be resolved and you'll be missed by friends and lsmates. The choice is yours, but I think it's safe to say some of you guys really need to learn some patience and understanding of how other cultures operate. Blizzard is not a JP company and obviously it's not logical to compare the 2 companies. SE has taken steps to better understand how their needs of international players. If you think about it, most of the JP players are on the PS2. I'd say most of the NA players play on PC. We now have a Windower program and security token that basically caters to the PC users. SE is just very slow in implementing change and often makes a tactical error of the big picture. Computer security is a death trap unless make it your business to know all the variables and stay updated.


In closing, FFXI began life as merely as a PS2 MMO game, nothing more. Over the years, SE has raised the bar in protecting its users albeit a tad slow for most of tastes. Everyone was quick to point fingers at SE for failing to recover compromised accounts back before RMT keyloggers came out. You guys remember, those morons who gave out their password to 'friends' in game that came back to bite them in the ***. Then we had more idiots who used IE to surf the web and found their accounts hacked because of a malicious code by RMT's on unofficial community sites. That wasn't their fault either, yet everyone blamed SE for the end result. That's like losing your credit card and becoming irate at the bank because someone purchased items on it. Yet as the card holder, you didn't call the bank right away to report the card lost. The bottom line is we the players have tied up SE hands for quite a long time. Anyone who has every botted or know of someone that has. All those times you seen someone pos hack across the zone or some other random exploit only forced SE to use more resources to pursue the cheaters and less focus on issues like this one.
