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.”
