[News] A Weekly Runup of FFXIV News

[Crisis Core]

Since Gamescom, there wasn?t really too much interesting news from the FFXIV developer. You?d see an occasional update from Dengeki!

Anyway, lets catch up with some readings about FFXIV.

Real Money Trade in FFX (RMT)

Sage Sundi speaks out about RMT problems

It?s good to know they are in the game of cat-and-mouse. RMT has been a big problem, and it?s still a problem. They?ve tried very hard to eliminate RMT but I think the developer should think about building a game that is not too dependent on gil. Rare/Ex (Bind on Pickup) is definitely a good start, keep up with the 3-D system and just track down people who intends to sell Rare/Ex (BoP) item as RMT, and the game should be much more enjoyable.

Lets hope SE can stay ahead of the game this time around, and not playing catch up!

I've found this recent news from http://playonl.com :-?

I think trading "real" money in game having its good as bad point too.

+ The good point is it can varies the currency in the game, people have many ways to pay or buy some [rare] items.
+ The opposite is gamers can be tricked or deceived by those "RMT". Everything concerns to money makes its more in trouble...

I think RMT's cons too greatly out-weighs the pros. I'm sure there are people out there that have money to blow on equipment that doesn't actually exist but I think too often younger people and even older people get scammed from things like this.
