Remember my post about getting an RMT tell? Haha. Now, this announcement is making me happy.
Having confirmed in-game advertisements for RMT* sites, we have taken the following actions to address this issue.
* RMT (Real Money Trade) is the selling of account or game data for currency in the real world.Period: Aug. 24, 2013 to Sep. 5, 2013
-Accounts receiving disciplinary action for RMT advertisement: 518 Accounts -Action Details: Permanent ban from FINAL FANTASY XIVIn addition to chat filters, we will continue to address RMT activity through cooperation with our GM teams and STF (Special Task Force). If you are solicited by an RMT company in-game, please do not respond.

And yes they also confirmed that among those, there are also accounts of legit players who got hacked. This just makes me hate RMT even more. They are ruining the fun of us players not just by barging into our game, but also stealing people’s accounts. Just disgusting.
But oops at “please do not respond” LOL. I sometimes cursed back at them just to manage my anger. Have to stop doing that hahaha.
