We are currently investigating players who advertise power leveling services via Shout/Yell, collect gil from the participants, and then use that gil to engage in RMT-related activity. Our investigations thus far have revealed that these players regularly advertise in the Jeuno area and we have responded by terminating the FINAL FANTASY XI service accounts of those found guilty of this behavior.

Please be aware that advertising in such a manner in itself can be disrupting to other players and we may take action against players who continuously advertise for the above kind of parties. This also includes behavior that helps facilitate such activity. Please take caution in not supporting RMT-related activity.

In addition, if you witness other players engaging in this behavior, please report the details to the Special Task Force via the Square Enix Support Center.

At least they took this approach and not the alternative: "let's gimp abyssea exp".

None shouting on Lakshmi, which is remarkable. They're usually the only people shouting at this time of the day. I wonder if any legitimate players will get nuked as a result of this.

Would be odd of them to nuke legitimate players for this, they're probably making sure to track the direction the gil flows and what the chat logs say before they go around swinging the banstick. I guess it's very plausible some collateral damage will occur, though.

I would think so they dont bother trying to separate real players from rmts in these cases which isnt fair at all. They keep gimping the quick and easy ways of making gil only things to make money off is dyna, plates or synths/mats. Dyna money is dropping in price again since the blinker nerf.

There must be a temporary cease fire in The Great War of the Altep vs. Mis. Coast RMTs. That is most likely the reason for no shouts. Nothing like watching them try to MPK each other.

I dualbox 2 Chars which can be both WHM & WAR, I was really looking into doing this for extra cash once my WAR was skilled up enough.. As many ppl would say: "Oh well..."

I do enjoy throwing a diaga or two then kiting the mobs around while they try to cleave on the run.

On valefor we have someone that shouts but changes their name and gets a new mule constantly to jeuno. My blacklist looks something like this but 3x longer:
aooaaa
aaoaoaa
aoaaoexp
aaaooaaa
aaaoa
aaoaoa
aoaa
aaoa


and so on, annoying as hell.

Minimal relief here, they already ban the 2 we have on Carbuncle every couple weeks then we get a new pair of characters with a different letter tagged on the end or middle of the name to take their place. At the rate I keep having to blist them my list is gonna end up filled.

Simply banning RMT accounts isn't gonna solve the problem, they just make a new one and SE gets another $20. They need to start banning IPs and/or locking out payment sources.

I like the idea that they "claim" they "might" start punishing people that feed them the gil.

I think one of the big concerns previously was that some rmt accounts were being paid by stolen credit cards, wonder if that's still an issue.

I would say it's very bad and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Ashamed that ppl are promoting this action and ruining the game economy? This is just as stupid as chicks wearing low cut shirts then griping about guys staring at them. RMTs wouldnt make money if ppl werent so damn lazy.

Before the blinker Nerf you could actually make money paying them.

Forgive me, but based on your previous post I do not believe you care about the game's economic concerns.

and so on, annoying as hell.

Funniest thing is, the team behind that one had a falling out or something and they were having a shout war for a while.

Every once in a while, actual players decide to do it as well and then there's another shout war. They /yell on cooldown and shout, sometimes, every time anyone else shouts anything.
