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."
Final Fantasy XIV fans can now properly benchmark their PCs and check out some of what's coming to their game this summer.

The Xbox profanity filter is currently ruining the readability of the FFXIV chat on Xbox Series X/S due to censored words.
Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.
What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?
I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.
Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched
it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape
Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.
This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.
You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.
It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.
Fuck I just purchased 10 mil Gil behind Mor Dhona. Hopefully no one saw!
Good!
I report these bastards all the time.
People bought gold with real money all the time because you cant just kill monsters and farm gold. You get gold from quests and crafting. But trying to make money off of crafting is a joke and you eventually run out of quests for money. For years people thought SquareEnin themselves were selling the gold, as there is no wasy a farming company could make the millions of gold they were seelint every day.
That's a lot of illicit activity. One could say it's over 9000.
