Just emailed em this but it's real it's how i feel yo.

Dear Square enix,

I want to know how your upper tiers of ownership can sleep at night when your supposed Anti-RMT video game will allow for gil selling companies to create mule accounts and harass paying customers on a constant and daily basis.

This is not the only concern but your video game is incredibly hard for any casual player to amass very much of this aforementioned gil.

When finally a player decides to succumb to paying real life money for this currency which your staff made so hard to amass much of, this player is a target of an "irreversible" ban for dealing with "RMT"

There are several other very distinct problems in final fantasy 11 and i can say this as a current and paying customer since 2004.

How is it fair to have gear dropped by mobs that only spawn once a day? Gear that is desirable but not obtainable by anyone outside of the botting linkshells which you do little to nothing to remedy?

A year or two ago SE, you made it apparent that you didnt want for people to sell ra/ex drop? Am i correct? Mostly in regards to RMT dominating sky,

Why then now SE do you turn your back when legitimate players are still being strangled out of any reasonable chance at claiming ground kings because you turn your back on the fact that ffxiapp exists?

Legitimate players are having to resort to buying ground king abj drops at upwards of 10mil a piece, and why?

As a crafter I have seen it all the complete disregard of your company to anyone who has spent several years leveling a desirable craft to 100 skill who may have expected to make a little gil by doing so, meanwhile your dev team introduces ra/ex crap and nothing crafted that can compete.

Square Enix, you are a failure as a company and i highly doubt i'll buy FFXIV if this is your standard.

I still love this game, i just wish you would fix it.

SE is chock full of hypocrisy man it's ridiculous and nothing pisses me off more than the way they are letting it become WoW v .5

Get the RMT spammers out of this game is the first step if SE even really cared about RMT anymore, they always had a bold stance before, it would be easy to stop but nope no love from SE.

*** ban the botting *** would be #2, i'm sure your dev team is smart enough to D/L a copy of ffxiapp, break it down and figure out how to ban these cheating *** who screw everyone else..

#3 would be quit banning people for ***, gardening? what the *** SE

but no you don't care let them sell abj drops to anyone desperate enough to buy so they can obtain relic weapons for their linkshell holder, meanwhile you target legitimate players as RMT. Pathetic.

I agree to some extent, but I'm not naive enough to think SE isn't doing anything about it. Everytime SE fixes something RMT find another way around their fixes/policies. Give them a little time and they should resolve it.
I don't know anything about international law, but I know for a fact the ***is complicated.

There are so many grammatical errors in your letter that I doubt SE would ever take it seriously. I agree with its ideas, but honestly, an idea such as your own should be placed forth with heavy emphasis on grammar and punctuation, not just ideals.

The playerbase wants SE to crack down on RMT activity. This is what IS CAUSING all the false bannings in the first place. SE developers just don't give a ***anymore, or they are simply incompetent. FFXI is over for them. SE took the seasoned pro devs and put them on FFXIV, leaving the retard devs to deal with FFXI. This is why we are seeing the content releases (what's that? Expansion pack... uh...) we are seeing as well as the shitstorm of hackings and poor CS as of late. SE is done with FFXI. They are simply letting the janitor run it in the basement to keep the players pacified for now. Sad, but this is my opinion right now.

And I got double charged this month, 33$ for one account with 5 character!

As for the several years to level a craft to 100, yes goldsmithing as my first craft 0-100 took me three years starting from day one try that starting with an adventurer coupon, then tell me it doesn't take a bit of time.

Dear SE,

Please release FFXIV sooner so that the majority of this game's population migrates over and I don't have to deal with them as I remain on FFXI.

Many thanks,

Remove free trial accounts, make the RMT pay in order to open up a new account every single time. If they get their accounts banned all the time and would have to pay $13 or whatever to open up new ones, I think they'd stop pretty fast.

And make the whole game soloable by all jobs so I can progress when Valefor has only a couple hundred players.

Various abjurations drop from non-Odin chambers. NLegs from Wing 1, for example. If you're smart with feather mules you can do Odin more often. Skilled groups shouldn't need the full 36, though it's certainly helpful.

I see the end comming. I had a dream about it. First every NM will be uncamped up and unclaimed for weeks on end. You'll see gm's in Sea showing players the exact method of killing AV and it will be common to see people wearing its items after several weeks.

And finally the end for everyone will be personal. As you start getting warnings about them shutting down the servers and thanking us for being faithful, you'll start to think "Where do I want it to end?" For me it'll be in Bastok near the first NPC I ever spoke too, Reet. Seems right. I guess.

Idk Why People Complain so much about this and act as if everything is happening for the 1st time.

Its so obvious SE is behind RMT tells, that's why they opened up Free trial to Advertise Other Companies that were willing to pay/split the profits to the Company. you would be surprised at how much Gil ppl desperate enough would pay to have that "awesome item" in game. not to mention Hacks on PS2 and 360? its SE.

SE could Easily Sue Brogames and the other companies advertising on there Game w/o permission, but instead the companies pay SE TO advertise. this is why its still going on. SE isn't a small business that's being run in a old shack in the back of a house somewhere that's cant stop this from going on because it hasn't fund enough money to do so.. its a big time corporation. its a money maker. So while SE racks up on Money for advertisement, we are being harassed day after day from companies staying in business by desperate ppl wanting the "Awesome Item". but its all business.

While you sit there crying and whining about SE They are making big dollars. They wouldn't be upset about little program hacks because its helping them make money also. if it isn't shutting down the Servers They dont care bottom line.

if i get banned or Hacked ill know its because of this post.. I know too much and Deleting/hacking my account will be my punishment to stfu >.>

Does that really make sense? Honestly?

SE would automate a hourly system message and have you be able to buy it right inside your account where you add characters. They could sell it for $5/mil and still cost them less than it costs them to waste time talking to ppl like me several times a day when I report the ad-bots.

Now, to your point of does SE care? No, not really or they would have taken care of the problem already.

Make it sound like SE doesn't do anything and if they do it has to be a next day verdict. Sue someone and find out how long it takes for the process before you make such stupid claims. Get over the RMT crap like most others have or STFU/GTFO of the game.

Defending SE is epic lulz

When something is broken SE will fix it in wat 3years

When something would be cool to have SE will wat add it in 5years or never

SE has no excuses, if it wasn't for the community the game would have failed sooo hard

ffxiwiki/alla/etc without those how the hell would you know anything about the game

SE doesn't tell us jack
