RMT (Real Money Trading) advertisers, nicknamed “Gilsellers” on Final Fantasy MMORPGs because the coin there is called “Gil” are a serious problem, and Square Enix is taking steps.
Final Fantasy XIV fans can now properly benchmark their PCs and check out some of what's coming to their game this summer.

The Xbox profanity filter is currently ruining the readability of the FFXIV chat on Xbox Series X/S due to censored words.
Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.
What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?
I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.
Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched
it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape
Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.
This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.
You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.
It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.
Wow, that was quick.
The gil sellers will keep selling gil.
The gil buyers will keep buying gil.
SE will keep taking action until it's no longer cost effective for them to take the little RMTs.
Right now they have a large enough subscriber base to support the overhead and development cost of a successful task force. It's in their best interest to maintain the gaming world at this early level. If RMT go uncheacked at this early stage it could ruin the economy for years to come.
IMO these mmo devs love RMT. For the most part they have to pay a subscription and they keep the lazy adhd type gamers ,who don't have the patience for a typical mmo investment, playing the game a double win for the devs lol.
You blacklist one, seems another quickly replaces him.
They even now say sorry for disturbing you, haha. Nice to see swift action being taken though.
I'm hoping they get on it before it gets out of hand.... About 1 tell every hour or so I'd say.
