Square terminates over 9000 Final Fantasy XIV accounts for illicit behaviour

From GameWatcher: "Final Fantasy XIV recently played host to a number of illicit gameplay activities, including but not limited to real money trading, which is a major no-no in most online games. The publisher's recent announcement told us about an impressive number of bans - over 9000 of them.

Puns aside, Square Enix ended up banning close to 10 000 Final Fantasy XIV accounts for various RMT-related activities, and they've called for players to continue reporting such deals wherever possible."

Better question is why did you need to buy gil? lmao

[Dabigsiebowski]

An even better question would be, How can you not recognize sarcasm?

I dunno it just seems like another clueless lame personality trying to score a cheap wise crack off your own inability to recognize language and tone. Now that's lmao

People bought gold with real money all the time because you cant just kill monsters and farm gold. You get gold from quests and crafting. But trying to make money off of crafting is a joke and you eventually run out of quests for money. For years people thought SquareEnin themselves were selling the gold, as there is no wasy a farming company could make the millions of gold they were seelint every day.

You make money by running dungeons.

Blizzard was doing the same thing for years. It's no surprise really

That's a lot of illicit activity. One could say it's over 9000.
