While the boss of Blizzard Raids sold in WOW, FFXIV is now closer to more

The sale of raids in MMORPGs is a double-edged sword. Some players find it good and financed it useful equipment in the game, while others see the aspect rather critical. InFinal Fantasy XIV but it is prohibited from now on to advertise the sale of raids. There is also a new section on in-game stalking.

What is it? In almost every MMORPG called Boost runs are offered with the sale of raids in coming. Here, players will be pulled by the contents in order to get special loot or titles that they would not otherwise reach. For this they must, however, pay the respective group.

This method is critically regarded by some as much as it destroys the value of the content and results. If any player can achieve anything as long as it invests enough money, it devalues ​​the skill of the other players.

It is prohibited to offer Finder to help them complete tasks or purchase of goods within the party. A penalty is imposed if such an act is carried out [...]. It is not a violation to ask for help or to offer a reward if you ask for help [...].

Examples of violations: - Sell Content XY for 1 million Gil - Sell Content XY XY or reward. Join for more info

Examples of non-infringements: - I m new, can someone help me getting things done on XY - Help me in the execution of XY and I pay you one million Gil

attention> Please that Square Enix may, at its discretion, conduct investigations and impose penalties, even if no signal is available from other players.

These bans so far relate only to the party finder tool. A basic sale of raids or achievements was not banned.
