Regarding Actions Taken Against In-Game RMT and Other Illicit Activities (Oct. 31)
Because we have confirmed the existence of players who are engaging in these illicit activities, we have taken the actions listed below.
Time Period: Oct. 1, 2013 to Oct. 30 2013
Accounts receiving disciplinary action for RMT advertising: 3694
Accounts receiving disciplinary action for illicit activity: 4266
Action Details: Permanent ban from FINAL FANTASY XIV
Included in the above are players who used/obtained gil, items, or actions through fraudulent means. Although we are taking the utmost care and attention to prevent such actions, players who discover any confirmed cheats should, under no circumstances, exploit or disseminate such information. Instead, we ask that players file a report by using the in-game command [System Menu] -> [Support Desk] -> [Contact Us] -> [Report Cheating].
We will continue to take stringent disciplinary action against any accounts with confirmed involvement in RMT/illicit activity; players should take care to steer clear of any activity that violates the Terms of Service.
